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! Ken

sysadmin == I recorded some eccentric "spur-of-the-moment"
stuff on a Kawai GS-60 (7'3") piano in a local Episcopal church.
*By two different people, my playing has been described as a
"wall of sound". *My sister says I "don't play FOR people, I
play AT people", with a grin, of course :-) We'll be releasing
it in two tapes (and two CD's after enough cassettes sell to pay
for the CD pressing). 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:
