RE: Ricardo' CD Finally available (in reply to Ricardo)
Congratulations, man!!! Everything sounds lively, well balanced and professional. I've ordered my copy and I'll spread the word. Charming website, by the way.
Ya, maybe you should look in to iTunes etc..., too? Good luck with everything.

Thanks guys! Itunes, CDbaby, etc are possibilities for the future. Right now I need to pay back some money to Flamenco-teacher.com, so until I pay it off, that is the only place you can buy it. If some folks are only into downloading tracks, then you need to be patient.

Oh yeah about my website, it is still being constructed. For example on my machine the little ipod thing with tracks from my CD, the audio is playing slower than normal. Not sure what is going on. On some other machines we saw it works fine. Any problems with the site please feel free to pm or email me and let me know what browser/machine you use so we can optimize the site. No use taking up the foro space to talk about it. Thanks guys!

Too bad shipping costs almost as much as the CD and i just bought a CD from a german guitarrist so... i will wait for the download option. You should also make a link to your Solea por Buleria video, that is one of the best imo.

Ya, I thought even $11.20 shipping is a lot coming to Toronto, Canada only, just for one skinny cd. Maybe Ramin should reconsider that unless that's all he can find. Maybe it's express shipping.
....But it's probably comparable to Flamenco-World shipping costs. Anyway, I bought it now because it's always nice to have the whole package!
Deniz, there is a link to the solea por bulerias, actually. Second page.

Wishing you much success with your cd! I listened to the fisrt buleria and it sounded great-very crisp and tight. The second sample crashed my browser. I am using SBC's version of explorer. I'd check out cdbaby-they will hook you up with i tunes and the other digial retailers. I read recently that most of the music being sold these days is via download.

Ricardo, I forgot to wish you good luck!
Tonight I heard Trent Reznor recently sold 800,000 song downloads in about a week's time. He gets to keep 100% of the royalties and it only cost him $36 USD to distribute all those songs.
RE: Ricardo's CD Finally available (in reply to Ricardo)
Forgot to add my congrats Ricardo. I'm very proud of you! You deserve all the success that is waiting for you and it IS waiting for you. I have a feeling my copy will be in my player for a loooong time.

Hi Ricardo - great news and I'm definitely going to get a copy. Just gotta bite the bullet and cough up the $14 shipping to UK!! If the $14 went to you, I wouldn't mind so much!

Hey Todd,
Speaking of CD's.....shouldn't you be coming out with one by now? I mean, you have the equipment and the chops to match so come on. Unless you already have one out and I didn't know about it.
RE: Ricardo's CD Finally available (in reply to Ricardo)
Very nice. I'll buy the download version when it is available... couldn't get the samples to work on my computer but I like the sample that comes up when your website loads. Good luck.
