Selling upwards of 50 copies a year & making almost $ 12.00! - How does that translate into beers ?? How would you sell a full opera or a greater symphony through the computer ????? -
I have a very fast internet access with 50MB/sec. - in theory, if the servers would not reduce this speed to Stone Age Bush Drum delivery speed ........ I enjoy retirement very much, travelling as much as we can afford. Next month playing Huebler once again for a 150th anniversary celebration of a world wide society, with orchestra off course, after that visiting Central India to take pictures at Kajuraho (!), Bodh Gaya (Buddhas place) & at the rock paintings in Bhimbetka (Cromagnon aera, 15 - 20.000 years ago).
