Nancy, thanks for all the details about the conference call. I appreciate you taking the time to share the experience, and I’m sorry you’ve been ill. I hope you’re feeling better now. I'm a little late in replying to you too, and I wasn't even sick.....I'm just slow.
It sounds like the conference was interesting, although a bit crazy too. Had to laugh about the dogs and kids in the background.....keeping it real, I guess...lol. But the folks wasting time talking about themselves instead of getting to the point......uhhgg, that’s always so frustrating, isn’t it? Some folks just don’t seem to understand the concept of a question and answer session, or the concept of “sharing the stage”. And oh lord, I can imagine there would’ve been even more of that if folks knew Jean was on the line.
As you've probably surmised, the reason I asked about the cost of the CDs and the $3 donation is because initially, (and maybe still), I thought the cost of the CDs was a bit steep, and the $3 donation was a bit cheap. But I did buy the CDs anyway. And I gotta say the recording was very well done.....the sound is excellent. And it might be that the licensing fee for the music was the reason for the high price. So over all, I’m really glad to have the recording, and glad that at least some of the money is being donated in Dan’s name.
Sorry you were not one of the few who got the mp3 of extra interview minutes. What a tease, huh? And honestly, that’s the other little thing about the project that had me shaking my head. When I first read about the bonus minutes and that he was using it as a promotional tool, I was a little perturbed. I can understand that those minutes were cut because maybe they just didn’t flow well on the CD. But giving the bonus mp3 to a select few just seems rude to me, and a wasted opportunity.
Why not offer it to anyone who wants it, for a small donation to the PCF? That would make more sense to me, and would at least help raise a little more money. I doubt there’s much cost involved in making an mp3 download available. I would pay a few bucks for the bonus minutes......as long as ALL the money was going to the PCF. Maybe they could still do that. It would at least help in reaching the $10,000 donation goal.
Anyway, glad to hear Deb mentioned Dan’s new CD and that there are still a few more interesting things to look forward to. I guess we can’t ask for much more than that.
Thanks again, Nancy, for sharing the info with us.
Kelly
