Because I'm surprised that I haven't taken the time to do it earlier, I've logged on to CD-Baby and dropped the digital download price of Coffee, Computers, & Song from $15 (which is where they set it by default, I guess) to $9.99. I probably ought to set it up on Bandcamp, too.

DFW, 4:52pm: grumps

The oncologist was called away for an emergency, so Colleen's ultrasound was done by a tech who wouldn't tell her anything. I'll keep you posted.

There doesn't appear to be any free net in the terminal: all tmobile. Damned if I'll pay $10 or whatever for less than an hour ten minutes on the net ( Read more... )

CD Baby just send me email saying I'd sold another copy of "Coffee, Computers, and Song!" Sales have been slow this year, so there are still plenty in stock. Go for it!

Expect news of the next album sometime next week (i.e., after Death Tax Day).

I recently got a postcard from my Aunt Jean; my Mom had sent her a copy of my CD. She said, in part, "You have a wonderful voice with great pitch and great guitar playing!"

Now, normally I tend to discount praise from relatives, because, well... But she didn't have to put in that bit about pitch. And she's a professional ( Read more... )

Not my most productive day ever, I'm afraid, but I've gotten a few things done. Mainly, I've updated my personal business cards and my album mini-fliers, which were last printed before CC&S came out and so had the pre-order URL on them.

I took the opportunity to start copying things over to steve.savitzky.net which will ( Read more... )

Made my hotel reservation for OVFF yesterday, at the flower_cat's insistence. (Anyone who didn't know her might think she was trying to get me out of town so she could spend time with her lover. I personally suspect she just wants a weekend without my snoring waking her up.)

I'll send in my registration on Monday, and probably book my flight ( Read more... )

... will be all that's left of SCO.
-- (from "High Barratry", on Coffee, Computers, & Song)

The first stage in the formation of a caldera is a gigantic volcanic eruption that empties the magma chamber, which subsequently collapses. Now that SCO has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, we're starting to see the eruption ( Read more... )

Coffee, Computers, and Song! is back in stock at CD Baby.. Probably arrived late yesterday; next time I'll try not to wait until they get down to a single copy before I restock them.

The last remaining orders will be in the mail in about an hour. Still need to consolidate the databases (actually flat files, but PayPal and paper are in different formats) and make sure I haven't missed anyone with my haphazard piling[sic] system, but at this point I think it's done.

The final count brings me up pretty much to C0 ( ( Read more... )
