I found this article on from the BBC. It is interesting to me that elsewhere the government is at least interested in musical education. Unfortunately the US it is quite the opposite. The arts in general are being cut form curriculums and generally disregarded by the educational bureaucrats despite study after study showing the value [...]

Most of the news and info online about the music business is negative. So, here is a bit of upbeat news. I hope CD Baby survives and thrives in what ever the music business will be in the future. I think there is more than just a niche for this kind of thing. ****WARNING semi-stream of consciousness philosophical ramblings ahead**** I didn’t start out to write this much.

A big thank you to everyone who came and downloaded the music. It’s been the most positive thing we’ve done and we hope you shared the experience with others. The discbox will still [...] OK, it is inescapable now. T-Pain was on NRP. NPR! I had now idea how pervasive he was.
