There are a number of really promising leads out of this but the promotion end of it has just begun. He just hooked up with the commercials guy about four months ago and we are almost done collecting all the right samples and information for it. The entire operation is barely choking out a little cash in the CD-on-demand part, and a few shekels for me here and there to do the download store. All money basically goes back into the operation.

My feeling is that if I can stick with this, it will be more successful. First step would be bringing the download store to a new level. By offering it on other artists's websites it becomes a sort of a community where artists in the group can make money off each others sales through recommendations and commissions, we handle the technical side for a minimum percentage, everybody wins. We shall see.

Dave Edmunds is selling a lot of downloads! It is cheaper to buy certain things from us than anywhere else, and we only sell 192kbps mp3s.
