I think we (well, maybe not the lawyers among us) have a tendency to believe in the fundamental honesty and integrity of others. At least initially, there was a tendency to accept the basic story about Hatto. Suspicions came later.

Hatto's husband was intentionally deceiving the music community. He is the culprit here. Others were unwittingly caught up in the scheme.

Morrison was very mistaken in his review and in his review of the Hatto recordings. Was he intentionally trying to mislead the buying public? I don't think so.

You know, there have been many cases in history where a person gets caught up in circumstances that, through no fault of his own, ruin his career and legacy. Morrison was duped. He bought into the story and that influenced his thinking. It certainly undermined his credibility with a lot of people.

I suppose I prefer to believe that he was not evil, with ill intent, but just caught in a gambit that snared him. Does that discredit all of his reviews? Well, I don't know. I don't pay much attention to reviews.

But personally, I'm not going to condemn a person because he made a mistake. This mistake did not send investors into bankruptcy or lead to the destruction of lives or hurt anyone else's musical legacy. It may have cost a few people a few bucks that they spent on a CD that they'd probably get more for now, were they to sell it, than they originally paid.

As for the world, I've made mistakes along the way in my profession, as have most people. It's part of life. Perfection is really hard to come by. And as we revisit our decisions and choices, years later, all of us can think of things we might have done differently.

I'm not apologizing for his mistake. I'm just saying that everyone makes mistakes -- well, unless you are Jesus.

I'm not going to be too harsh on Mr. Morrison.
