SOLO PIANO CD SPECIAL - $5.95 + S&H
Since sales have continued, we've decided to extend this offer indefinitely. As long as the sales justify it, we'll keep it going. If you enjoy the solo piano music of such artists as George Winston, David Lanz, or Jim Brickman, you'll love the music of our featured pianist, David Nevue. For a very limited time, we are offering his album, "While the Trees Sleep" for a special promotional price of only $5.95 plus shipping. This offer is only available via the Internet. Get details at http://www.rainmusic.com/order/special.htm


"NAME A SONG" CONTEST ENDS SOON!
We're still looking for just the right song name. We've had a number of good suggestions, but nothing has quite stuck with us yet. If you name the song, you win the free CD when it's released. Details at

Lady Purple Productions
If you're looking to put your logo on promotional products like pens, hats, shirts, dog tags, radios, toys or flashlights, Lady Purple can do that for you. In addition, Lady Purple can work with you on your concert promotion or music merchandising.


Northeastern Digital Recording/Mastering
Northeastern Digitial is a truly professional CD recording and mastering shop. These guys have worked with all the pros, just take a look at their past client list; Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Richard Thompson and on it goes. Services include complete CD premastering and production.

Site 51
Site 51 provides so many services to independent musicians that they are difficult to classify. First, there's the Musician's Spotlight. For no charge at all, Site 51 will review your CD and put it up on their web site with sound content and photos for a limited time. Site 51 also provides web publishing services, including audio/video streaming and digitized services (even Interactive CD production). Lastly, Site 51 can provide you with complete customized graphic design, for CDs, flyers, logos, and more. The design work we saw was quite impressive.
