Tim Greene selling music catalog
From SGN Scoops e-magazine:
TIM GREENE TO SELL HIS CATALOG OF MUSIC TO PURCHASE MEDICINE
Tim Greene, of the Greenes, owns West Carolina Publishing Company with 170 original songs written by Tim. The entire catalog of Tim’s music is for sale. Call 910-616-5610 for this investment opportunity, Tim is selling his entire catalog to purchase medication for his illness.
A little searching reveals that the songs are licensed through BMI, and include songs such as “Glory Mountain” and “I’m So Happy.”
I regret to see that his illness has progressed so far that this move is necessary. Since I’m a songwriter myself, I can’t help but feel that this move would be equivalent to an owner selling his group to pay for medical expenses. I guess my reaction to this is roughly equivalent to how the average Southern Gospel fan would hear if Roger Bennett and Scott Fowler were to sell Legacy Five to pay for Roger’s medical bills.
Hopefully things will work out for Tim.

This is a real shame. In Roger’s case, a fund was set up and thousands of fans contributed money to help in Roger’s care. I am not personally familiar with Tim Greene’s group, but one would think that some money could be raised by letting fans know of the need. Just a thought.

Maybe the Greenes feel how many times can you go to the well.
There many acts of love by the artists, free-will offerings and
fund-raising events for Tim’s situation in past years. Let’s pray that continues into future and be thankful for but by the grace of God it could be me.
Tim’s medical stiuation has been a reality of the up and downs through the years.
It is kind of hard to make a judgement when times are really, really tough unles you been through it.
Friends do anything for old friends and I truly believe the application can be said of Roger and Scott IF it came to that point.
As for the fans, sometimes I think we invite ourself into the familiy of the artists too many time.
