Yes, CDbaby is the outfit that got me the bulk of that distribution. They haven't come through with an Emusic connection for me yet though. I have no idea why. Maybe Emusic has better taste than that. Here's some info on those distribution points BTW: AliveAudio Online radio and download store.

But before any of you gets too excited or whatever about this digital distribution thing. To put it in perspective, I've made only a few dollars so far from any of it. I've had vastly more income paid from ASCAP for radio play fer gosh sakes! I'm not holding my breath for sudden fame and fortune to come sneaking up on me any time. I don't expect that will ever happen as long as I'm playing the kind of music that interests me. Maybe if I play ABBA covers and wear one of those large-lapelled one-piece jumpsuits . . . heheh. Ooof Dah! That ought to do it!
