Not sure what took so long. I guess I lacked confidence and was finally inspired by some other guys I play with and what they were doing via digital distribution. Man I think the record companies are in trouble, old news, but that fact never hit me so hard before. Now I’m on Amazon MP3 and iTunes. . . and man that was easy:

Wow, you are already #17,345 in Paid in MP3 Albums! Congratulations. 😉

Is there any way to include more information about the album or yourself on the download page? It is rather stark, and if I did not come to your album from your own website, I would have no clue what to expect.

Thanks for the input. I’ll need to work on that.
