Before this thread ends I have a quick question for Florian. I tried to find your comment about Emilio Maya's second album, I know you mentioned it somewhere in this thread but for the life of me cant find it. Maybe you edited it out. Theres been a lot of editing going on. Anyway thanks for the great comments about Emilio's first album. As for the second well we still have to pay for the first so it may be a while, though Emilio has quite a few new compositions ready to be recorded. I was wondering where you bought your copy of Temple ? CDbaby? Or did you do a digital download? I've just been looking at our CDbaby stats and the download sales go well, suprisingly ( well I thought it surprising) it is the rumba, Algo de Mi which has outsold all the others. Its amazing that we can sell digital downloads at 99 cents a copy and make more profit than an actual CD. And if anyone is reading this who has bought a copy, any comment ( well any good comment) you can make at the CDbaby site would really be appreciated. I just learnt that CDbaby is going global and will soon be available in Spanish ( the Frenchand Japanese versions are already up). It is amazing to think that Spanish people will buy a CD from from Spain which has been shipped to the USA at no small cost, only to have it shipped back again, coals to Newcastle but unless the Spanish music distributors support the flamenco music industry ( despite lesser profits) this is what will happen. I was talking to a record store owner here in Granada who tells me that Paco Cepero is the best selling guitarist, and that he, ie the shop owner, can literally live of the profits he make from this artist. It was funny as he was just not interested in stocking Emilio's album but we were playing it for him (the Rondeña I think) anyway a woman passing walked in to the shop all starry eyed and dreamy asking who was playing and could she buy a copy. Yet still he was not interested, not enough profit for him apparantly as he can get Paco Cepero CD at 2 euros and sell for 12 so he'd rather sell them. [:@] Just a sunday morning rant, Kate
