One More Thing
I’ve decided to lower the price of the With A Voice Like This Christmas because of the way the digital distribution works and I felt it was the only way to be equitable with everyone involved, especially CD Baby. This presented an opportunity for me with the person who  immediately bought my CD at the higher price and what I decided to do about that.

Next week’s show will be recorded on Tuesday, November 25 because of the Holiday. Join me then live.
