dear yan,
the other day when i asked you how many copies of my album we should order i was thinking somewhere around 300. you know, something modest, but enough that we could still distribute them over the next couple years. so i was a little surprised when you said 50. and at first i wasn’t sure why you chose such a low number until you said outright “we don’t have that many friends who will get your cd.”
i think maybe you’re right, so i’m suggesting we get 12. thanks for helping me be realistic.
but i have a plan…i asked little myra for some advice. she said i should, “teach them the music is pretty. then they will listen.” i think if we can implement myra’s plan we’ll be able to push past cds 9 and 10.
don’t worry i’ll be sure to let our photographer friends know they can buy rights to the songs for their websites at a fraction of the cost for royalties charged for someone actually famous. and if anyone wants to know what kind of music i do before i’m on the web, just tell them i sing the song on yanphoto.com. oh and i’ll be sure to tell your mom that you didn’t just marry a street musician, but officially a recording artist.
in other news, i wanted you to know that i am so excited about the studio. i’ll pick the key up tomorrow and then let the wild renovations begin! and by the way, love, thanks for all your support–i could never have done this album without you.
love and all her friends,
uncle marty
