Still $12.99 for a disc, or $9.99 for a digital download!

Thank you for the terrific review! I'm surprised that people are listening to the interview—I'm a terrible interviewee, IMHO. However, I'm extremely glad you enjoyed Spicewood. That song was a pouring out of emotions, and the fact that you listened to it for so long means a lot to me.

P.s. I thought you spoke quite well in the interview!

Thanks a lot for this beautiful piece, Lee! It's gonna get a special place in my CD collection!

They will review your music and what not, but as you can imagine, it is tough to break through.
Again, all the best, and as I always say, "The cream will rise to the top!"

Thank you - I'll give that a look later today.

Not even from MP3 sales? That's disappointing. I'm sorry to hear that.

I hope this will spark some sales, since people can hear snippets before they buy.

Yeah. I got $30 or something via Bandcamp max because they give you the money from sales directly immediately upon payment (minus Bandcamp's cut). Never saw a cent from anywhere else. You really need an advertisement campaign. It really is the driving force behind big sales. Because you're just a grain of sand in a desert of people all releasing material. You have to stand out. I just don't have the time or energy or stamina to do something like that and I never had the money to outsource it. Of course, your name is much more widely known than mine of course, but yeah.

CD Baby redirects the ad revenue to you, though. And anyone else who chooses to upload them to YouTube. It's a feature you enable via CD Baby when you set up your initial release.

I think it is. I'm starting to see micropayments from YouTube and from streaming services. I've also sold two more CDs. Still, I've barely broken the $110 mark (not including the Special Edition, which puts me roughly at break-even).
Calibrations is on Discogs now. Has anyone ever had experience with that?
Thank you for your continued support!

Bandcamp and Reverbnation as well.
The more sites you use the better. I think having a personal branding and a marketing campaign in Facebook and Ad words would improve your sales, I can help with that if you are interested.

I go with Bullet Dam and Bridge Out. The former is a kickass version of Stalker and the latter has a great melody in the second half.
From the new tracks I really enjoy Fish Waltz. Still hope it to appear as a level song, or at least a barmusic type song in Duke. Probably with the Swiss Alps theme.

Bobby Prince was the author, but are there any legal problems with the track?

But I can't wait to see where this thing goes.

It hasn't made a ton of money. Aside from the initial special edition sale through eBay, sales have been slow. The CD is available on Amazon (thanks, Terminix), but there hasn't been a single purchase from there.
My plans to submit Calibrations for a Grammy got blown out of the water when I came down super-sick during the last week of submission eligibility. I got an upper respiratory infection and a bone infection at the same time. For more on the latter, see my blog at https://dleejackson....idnt-picc-this/ .
For now, I'm hoping for the occasional sale to trickle in. I'm chalking it up to rookie mistakes and a zero advertising budget. For those of you who did buy the CD, you have my gratitude. Thank you.

Sample, revised post.
Here's an update, my loyal friends.
It succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. The CD is still available on Amazon (many thanks too the mighty Terminix), [link??].
For now, I'm working to learn on how to make it into the big leagues. Until such time, I would love to have your help. For those of you who bought the CD already, you have my gratitude. Thank you. Yet don't be afraid to spread the word, since, I'm unable to be full time in the promo biz, due to my health.
Love you all.
(Yes, complete exaggeration. When you are hurt and sick, things are very hard, but ... no one cares, they do care about good music )
