Well, then that's a GREAT question to put before Heather.

But, Bill, you're acting as though someone has a really great chance of selling scads of records and making mega bucks...if it were that easy, Heather would quit doing demos and sell the heck out of her own stuff. We all know that if you plan on making significant money from a record, with nothing BUT the record behind it, you'd be far better off collecting aluminum cans to earn some dough. smile

I'm a total bush-leaguer here, though. Just tying to apply common sense. I'm wondering how much dough any JPFs have earned hawking records independently? Any idea? Again, if it's that easy (obviously, I'm talking about quality product here), I might start paying for something more than a demo. Get a whole band to play and have a written contract that the finished cd is my exclusive property. Sure sounds "out there" to me that they would say, "If you want us to perform the same service we would normally perform, but you want it for more than demo purposes, we'll have to charge an arm and a leg.

That just seems VERY strange to me. I know of someone in Nashville who does demos. Think I'll write him.
