Subject: RE: Folk Radio Shows
Well, that was weird. I posted and hit submit and nothing showed up except two posts from my buddy, Ron O.

As I was saying, I think 800 is alot as well. My ex. producer on my CD "Long Grey Line" earmarked 50 and he has since realised that in two years I have sent over 300 copies to DJs, reviewers, media and have done some trading with my fellow musicians. I hardly ever send the *official* CD in a promopack for a gig; I send a CD-R sampler instead. The *official* CDs cost me $$ as I have to buy them from the record label so I keep track of every unit that goes out.

As for the DJs, it's like Ron O said. I have learned an incredible amount from the DJs on Folk DJ. I had been reading that list for about three years by the time LGL was released and you can bet that I made sure that my CD had all the important stuff on it that made the CD *DJ friendly*. At least I hope that it is. No one has complained....yet.

Okay, if my other post shows up, just imagine it's just someone using my name.
