Hope you don't mind a bit of self-promotion. for the cause..but us fusion fans need to stick together.  Here is a note I sent out today to like-minded people:For you McLaughlin fans... I was informed today that officially the interview I did with John McLaughlin for Jazz.com is the alltime most popular!   As part of my special project

Thanks.  I was really looking for the most downloaded performer (s) all-time on WV.  Theoretically that could be Mahavishnu since thet have so many places in the chart. Regards,Walter

Where did you find the info about Mahavishnu being the most downloaded?Thanks.
