When my band did our CD we had no intention of making a living off it.
We planned to pay for production and have something to sell at jobs besides recipe books and ties. For us it was vanity plain and simple.
Something to show for 30 years of music making in NY State. And we sell them at $15.00 a toss and after a job we have sold enough to cover our travel expenses and pay for a decent feed on the road home.

I can simplethighs with Jed and Seamus and anyone else who is working and taking a living off the road. Producing a CD is a full time job for the time spent in production. And its work that doesn't pay for it self for sometime after the production is done.
