Hey, Dave. The audio book on Amazon is actually $.99 PER TRACK.
I think the entire thing is $10 or something.
On a related note, I have another audio book, on networking, which is free. http://www.musicmarketing.com/ has that.
And Mr. Whipple is the Charmin guy.
Mr. Hooper was the guy who owned the grocery on Sesame Street.
Hey Dave
Really enjoyed your latest podcast and I'm going to take advantage of your offer of $9.95 for the audio book. That's great value, well I'm assuming it is lol.
Your latest show got me at the time where I am not doing all the tings I want to do in my music. I think a lot of it is about this time of year. It's winter downunder, I hate the cold and become a bear.
Quick note on focus and multitasking. I'm taking a quick break from vacuuming and baking bread while I wait for my fingernails to hard up after a shower, to go to recording the lead track on my new song Watch Me Daddy One More Time and of course listening to your podcast at the same time. Who says guys can't podcast.
I can't remember if I caught up with you on Twitter, I suspect not because I don't remember seeing your tweets. If I wasn't, I am now and see your last post was 4 days ago.
Amongst other things I tweet Songwriting Tips and am now up to 232, which was to tell people to listen to your great show. One of the things I never seem to get around to is telling you how much I enjoy your show down under in New Zealand.
Anyway, I'm flat out writing songs and am looking for local musicians to back me, preferably in Auckland, New Zealand. One that I'm struggling with at the moment is finding a good pedal steel player because this will be a Country Music album. I've got some really cool ideas around that, but I don't want to share them until I've done them first:)
Anyway, thanks heaps, I listen to every show, usually in my car on CD or iPod and with the audio books will be listening even more:)
Have an awesome week.
