Making music is a labour of love, making money is a by-product.

In a perfect world we would give all our music away for free and survive on touring revenue, merchandising and licensing income. Alas this is not always possible. In order to eat we have to sell a few CD’s.

It will create a good revenue. I am working on sequal concerning meeting E. G. White now. Email me at Suland@tampabay.rr.com Continue
