WHY? I figured the music industry has gotten so good at almost giving away the artist’s digital music that I thought; “Hey, I can do better than that myself!” LOL!

I will make my essential income on signed/dated CD sales, Digital Downloads, and Live Concerts.
I have been able to keep music making in my life because of you. That’s the reality.
