Greetings:

I got a call yesterday (November 1) from Oasis CD Manufacturing saying that my CDs are ready to be shipped. I should have product in hand by the middle of next week. That gives me plenty time to file one with the US Copyright Office for SR (sound recording) registration, send some advance copies to radio stations (some already received 3-song samplers), and set up an account with CDBaby. If you asked me to set aside one for you, I will most likely get it to you before December 10, 2005, the official release date.

I only ordered 500, and so far, I'm setting aside just under 150, so at least 350 are still available. If you want me to hold one for you and you have no already asked me to do so, please let me know by e-mail to suffet@att.net or call me in the USA at 718-786-1533.

And if you are in New York City on Saturday night, December 10, please come to the CD release concert at the Peoples' Voice Cafe, 45 East 33rd Street between Park and Madison Avenues in Midtown Manhattan. Doors open at 7:30 PM and the show starts at 8:00. I will be accompanied by MacDougal Street Rent Party and possibly others who are on the CD. The second act will be Voices of Shalom, a women's vocal ensemble that performs Gospel style music from the African-Hebrew tradition. For information, please go to the Peoples' Voice Cafe website or call them at 212-787-3903.

Thanks.
