Re: [Harp-L] re: Demo CD

["10hole" <10hole@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We did 7 tunes on ours. 5 of them were shortened versions of songs instead
of just clips. All
7 show different styles of what we do. I think that only the last 2 are full
length versions. We opted
for shortened versions apposed to snippets just so the club owner could get
more than just a
little piece. They're short and to the point with less verses and very
short, tight solo's. The 2 full
versions are for the rare club owner who listens to the whole thing.

songs are going to be 30 second samples. Songs 4,5,&6 are going to be full
length version of the same three songs. Songs 7,8,&9 are going to be full
length versions of three different songs. This way all bases are covered.
This song list clearly denotes the samples from the full length versions.

is that if some bar owner is going to sample the songs in a hurry, and
sometimes they do, then I want to be in control of the part of the song that
gives the band the best shot.
