OK, I think many people know that I have at least 3 CDs worth of unrecorded originals, some of which many of you wonderful people have laughed and cried with for quite some time now.
Recording isn't free. And I used to sell thousands of CDs (Thank you God!)....but times have changed & people barely download music anymore (which didn't pay us near what CD sales paid, btw), let alone BUY CDs.
I can't even tell you how much less I earn at live gigs now because of that.
My next gigs, I will be selling prepaid downloads though....
Creating art & recording it, requires an enormous amount of time & effort. I REALLY wish I'd recorded more CDs while people still bought them. Crud.
I'm kinda shy about the whole crowdfunding, kickstarter etc thing. People say I shouldn't be....but I am. What do you think?
I've been approached to release on vinyl by a 3rd party, but.....my cut was, well, yikes!
Music is my job.
So I'm asking you all, if I released on vinyl, would you buy it?
I'm sure you've noticed I haven't allowed streaming, (That may change as early as today) because It pays practically zip. It took me forever to allow downloading. (too long really). If I stream, it will be the old CD, & I think I might only do it if I can reasonably backdoor monetize it by creating new fans that ARE "buyers". So I'll need a need a new product huh?

Vinyl? Crowd-funding?
