Frequently, when I’m doing a CD review, I’ll have one line for “available from,” giving links to various sites where the project is available. Is this a feature that any of you use?
I check it if I’m interested. I can’t usually just buy CDs right away, but I like knowing where to find it, especially when it’s someone that isn’t available through all the major outlets.
List just one.
Buy local by setting a policy based on priorities.
1. Use the link to artist’s site.
2. Buy from the artist at the concert.
3. Buy from your local Christian bookstore.
This idea might be blown up if the owner of that local bookstore is a active member of your local church or local evangelical community.
Just think, sometimes paying more could be a ministry or a blessing to others.

Matt Baker: let me just say i am so proud of my buddy Dave Ragan for being nominated for 3 awards in just a little over a year on the road! Andrew S.: It should be interesting to see if the Hoppers continue to have their hold on their annual awards (Mixed Group, Female Vocalist, & Soprano). Am I the only one who found it... Mary Anne Moon: I’m with you Nick! Nick Trammell: I’m on board!! Brian: The Horizon Individual is definitely one to watch. Gaches, Ragan, and Barker are all high-profile candidates and are deserving. I would call Gaches the favorite due to the L5 fan base. I...
Carl Ramsey: This is great. I hope it starts a trend among trios to go to a quartet. It is the fullest and richest sound in Southern Gospel. I am told by an insider that the percentage of quartets...
Daniel J. Mount: Tyler – actually, I’m not so sure that I’m right. I do have moments of lyrical flights of excellence, but I write so much to get something up each day that...

JayTee: A fine choice for a re-post!
pj: From what Bill said Friday night in Reading, Marsh will fill in until Michael is able to return. And, yes, Marsh did a great job! They all did, including David who was sick… Gene... Martha: That is so cool! I was very sad when Marsh left…glad to see that there aren’t hard feelings. Or at least not enough to keep a “reunion” from happening.
quartet-man: I find the last few comments sad, perhaps with good motives, but misguided. To those of you who want to give free songs to reach the lost, what is wrong with your paying for them to do...
Andrew Fountain: Daniel, this is one of my favorite groups on the road. They are extremely talented… and have remained very ministry-minded. Good review!
Not really… I buy from the artist at concerts when possible. Second option is from their website… Third option is a Christian bookstore.

This is my usual buying path also. Except, being up here in New England, it is usually website, concert, bookstore.
I check it if I’m interested. I can’t usually just buy CDs right away, but I like knowing where to find it, especially when it’s someone that isn’t available through all the major outlets.
Sure. It wouldn’t hurt to know where we could get the CDs if we can’t buy directly from the artists!

Sorry, JEB.
I missed your comment until after posted the comment.
I have fully intended to start doing this again with all my CD reviews. Maybe someday, I’ll find the time.
(Actually, I just need to quit playing Peggle long enough to do it.)
