When my last CD came out we earmarked and drilled something like 800 CDs to go to folk radio stations. When Andrew Calhoun (at Waterbug Records) told me his plans I was simply amazed. I'd been away from the folk marketplace in this brave new millenium long enough that I had no idea that was what it might take to "push" the recording. If I ever do it again, I think it would be best to pick and choose those folk DJs who are likely to play revival-trad songs etc. like I used to sing. There are many DJs who only play singer/songwriter recordings these days. I still think 800 was too many CDs to skim off the top and write off.

Anyone out there have an idea on this???
