The CD is priced at $14.99 and includes all 20 songs listed above. The cover, tray card (inside and out) and booklet are full of great photography of nebulae, courtesy of the Hubble telescope. $2 from each CD will to charity. I have also created all kinds of merchandise related to this "nebulae" release and some part of the sale price will go to the charity as well. Each item was priced just above cost and an amount set aside for charity.
A lot of musicians have helped me with this charity before. The Children's Home Society of Minnesota. In fact, in 1998 - 2001 we raised several thousand dollars in contributions through CD sales, pfp at mp3.com (pay for play royalties), and live showcase fees. They were very happy and extraordinarily thankful for the contributions. I have continued to donate money to this organization every month because I believe it is a very worthwhile service organization. They provide adoption services, shelters for woman and crisis nurseries for children. Early Childhood Education for underprivileged and abused kids. They provide counseling services and help for families. It's truly a wonderful group of people and a great service. I will increase my contribution to the CHS with the designated earnings from this CD and merchandise. Why not help me out and help an organization that does a lot of good for a lot of kids and families.
