Quick update: The SASS! album, "Album One" (hey, it's truth in advertising) has been mastered and CD-R copies are now in my hands! In order to be able to sell the finished, pressed product when it arrives from Oasis, we have decided to sell the CD-R copies only as follows:
The pressed version will be $15* plus S&H. ($2 regular, $4.05 Priority Mail). We expect them to be ready to ship by April 15 or sooner. But if you pre-order, for an extra $5 we'll send out a CD-R (all 13 songs with booklet and lyrics) IMMEDIATELY (we eat the postage) to tide you over till you get the finished product. It'll sound just as good, but the pressed ones will be more durable in the long run, with better sharper graphics. For an extra $10 you get all of the above and a credit in the liner notes and our website as an "angel" (or "devil," your choice<g>).
And Andina & Rich's "Because We Can," on Madison, WI's new label Travenia Records, is already shipping from CDBaby.com:

If you'd like to hear some of Travenia's other fine artists (Aaron Nathans, SofSof, Bowen Marvik, Jeremy O'Sullivan, etc.), check out the label's introductory sampler "Tappin' Out a Rhythm, Pickin' Out a Tune" at

Individual songs from the two Travenia CDs (and my first solo album) are also available for download on iTunes, Rhapsody, and AudioLunchbox.
*I know that's a bit steeper than most on this list (including my solo and the Andina & Rich CDs), but we're having it pressed at Oasis--and they are pricier than DIY; however, you do get what you pay for: sharp graphics, professional glass mastering, quality packaging, audio as good as it gets. Also, the person with whom I'm sharing the cost (my singing partner) is not as financially secure as I am, and she has always charged $15 for her own solo CDs (which are nearly out of print). Finally, the CD is 13 songs---a FULL HOUR exactly!
Finally, you can eliminate the middleman and save some bucks on postage by coming to see me, SASS! or Andina & Rich and buying in person--you'll even get an autograph to sell on eBay!
