I try to do my best for you and spend several hours a week searching for news, tracks etc. It is very disheartening when there are so few views and even less replies or likes! When I set up MT almost 20 years ago I did so for the following reason. Initially it was to be home to all the lesser known Motown artists who were being overlooked so I originally called the group 'The Motown Wee Folk'. Later I changed it to 'Motown Treasures' and it became a place for everyone to have their say about all aspects of Motown music. Later I changed MT to become an all inclusive music group. It's a safe place where we all respect each others opinions without going into a hissy fit! My aim was to keep the flag flying for 'the wee folk' who are unsung when it comes to success. They are not short of talent or lacking quality of output. The 'big folk' can really take care of themselves at present. At it's peak the old MT Yahoo group had over 700 members. When Yahoo closed their groups I created this version which I think is much better due to its format. It's easy to navigate and find info on an artist. Currently there are just over 100 members out of which about only 10% are active! UMe have lost all interest in Motown saying that it's no longer viable to release anything! Ace are being thwarted by red tape on any Motown project. I have heard distant rumblings that another source may, that is may, just be interested in doing something. MT belongs to 'the wee folk' who deserve to be remembered. MT belongs to you as it's your group. MT will continue until I pop my clogs as by closing it I'd be letting the aforemention groups down. #Post#: 12423-------------------------------------------------- Re: MT - Still Flying The Flag By: Road Runner Date: April 10, 2024, 1:59 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Humboldt Your labour of love is so appreciated. Your many posts this morning alone, have educated and entertained me royally throughout the day. The forum has also alerted me to Snakepits' current radio shows which I look forward to twice weekly. Your posts of new releasees over the years has cost me dear but it's money well spent. I confess I had no idea there was a like button. I will make sure to show appreciation in future. Many thanks. *****************************************************
