T.I.P Thank you appreciate your thoughts!
There are a couple of clips on "ONMVoice"...Actually I think theres a blue clicky nearer the top of this thread!
I'm holding back on releasing the CD until later in the year, because there is going to be a 3 CD boxed set called Duet International coming out in the summer. (at the last look there are possibly 43 different artists on it!),
Which brings us neatly full circle. It is the third in a series featuring all 3 types of concertina, Anglo, English and now Duet.
Lavish book to go with it, with lots of details about the musicians.
God knows what it cost to make. And I've no idea if they have made a profit. (seems rather unlikely!)
And the Duet one is even less likely!
Anyway, I'm holding back, so that they can get as much money as possible.
Maybe when I do release it, I'll do a My Space or similar, with some sound snippets on...But not the whole thing!
(Mind you, I'll have to get some youngster to set it up. I can only just about type!)
I'm happy for people to hear the odd 30 seconds to see if they like it.
If they do, then they can buy it...
Maybe you're right, and theres a whole collection of Duet players in Russia, just waiting for it...Who knows.
But, that sounds like a fair compromise!
And. I agree with thoughts re busking. I'm happy to play for anyone, but, on my terms. I regularly share my playing in sessions for no money at all. But releasing a CD is a big thing when you're on a pension.
