Wednesday evening, May 4th, 1994. I played the piano for 90 minutes straight through. *Yikes! It's now on a $20 cassette tape, recorded on a $3000 Nakamitchi deck. If the "beta test" (having friends/family listen to it) works out, Tim (head of Union Records, and also my best friend - he started out the company because of me :-> ) will get a CD Master pressing done, and get duplicates made. *First cassettes, then CD's. The cassettes will sell for US $8.50. *Probably will be recorded off of a first generation tape/CD (the master stays hidden) onto a good quality Chrome tape. It is a new beginning for me, friends. *Wish me luck!

All I can say is that my mind was completely "blank" by the time I finished! *Even today, three days later, I can't sit down at the piano and think anything up - it really knocked the wind out of me! Ken == Tim (my friend, the head of Union Records, the guy that recorded this tape, and the guy smoking a Marlboro Light 100 cigarette, looking over my shoulder!) will be doing most of the standard marketing (which requires a LOT of work), and I will be marketing the tape through the Internet, mostly through a .signature file, and chatting with any potential distributers in other parts of the world (such as Canada). For folks in the U.S.A. and Canada, I will probably sell them to you for the price of the tapes ($8.50, US) plus shipping (which is 50 cents to a dollar). *In other countries, I will have to find out what the shipping costs are. Ultimately, Union Records will deal with record stores and other distribution sites directly, and I may ask you and others with a hand in finding what the record stores are in your areas so that we can spread this thing far and wide :-) == Usenet: rec.music.makers.piano Topic: via: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.music.makers.piano/fj0s6t-1WHg/_olpopotWRMJ
