MOTM

Here's an idea.
What if we start a patch of the week club.

Instead of Ken Elhardt writing a book and selling a dozen or so 
copies, someone (I'm volunteering!) could collect patches from some 
of the best patch artists on the list, maybe Mike Marsh and Scott 
Juskiw along with Ken Elhardt for instance.  There would be a 
subscription fee.  Each week each of the subscribers would receive a 
patch in PDF format via email.  The money from the subscriptions 
would be paid to those who contribute the patches.  If we had three 
guys creating the patches, each would only have to come up with one 
every three weeks.  The patch creators would then be getting paid 
for their time.

I don't mean to slight anyone.  There are a lot of great patch 
artists out there.  Dave Wright has sent me some great stuff for the 
MOTM CDR project.  And of course Robert Rich is outstanding.  I 
picked on Ken Elhardt because he is the undisputed master of 
replicating other instruments, Mike Marsh, because of the uniqueness 
of what I have heard from him and Scott, because he is so good at 
self running patches.  Really anyone could contribute to this, but 
someone would have to then decide what to use.

What does eveyone think?  If there is no interest, obviously I'll 
drop the idea.  But I'd pay to take lessons from these guys.  Maybe 
there are enough MOTMers interested to make it worthwhile.
