Jon: None of us SPA.net have any admin powers on squarepegalliance.com. They’re both good suggestions, but not ones that we can do.

You should probably adjust your Who We Are page to say “nine” rather than “thirteen.”

And then please add these four Pegs Emeritus to your friends list!

Probably. That stuff just takes time and effort, and I don’t have a whole lot of either right now.

So does this mean SandraMcCracken.org is back on the table for you, Geof?

You give me too much credit… I haven’t thought about it much at all yet. But I will.

No, I don’t think that’s the case at all. It has everything to do with outside forces trying to push them into a mold—a square peg into a round CCM hole, if you will—into which they really don’t fit. Many folks were trying to make the SPA a group of Christian artists, rather than a groups of artists who are friends and Christians. There’s a subtle difference there, but one that’s lost on a culture that seeks to make snap decisions so as to better market to and patronize everyone.

It’s cool, I think I misunderstood the post. Basically I was trying to say, is the reason the above mentioned artists are no longer apart of SPA because they are more ‘popular’ than they once were.

David: I don’t understand your comment at all.

So is the requirement for being an SPA member a lack of popularity or a floor of album sales? It would seem that the continued support of these artists as their careers become more ‘mainstream’ would only help SPA. I could be entirely wrong about this. Please tell me why.
