Yes, Pay What You Want.

But I ask a few things of you in return.

First, please pay at least one dollar. One dollar covers all my fees and costs to make the download available, and perhaps even a few pennies more to help me make a new record. And it's less than a cup of coffee or a soda, or about a single song on iTunes! But don't stop there! Pay a little more and make it even easier for me to make a new record. You don't know how much every little bit helps! I've mentioned this many times - I don't make a profit doing this - I've spent thousands more making music than I've ever made back! Why name your own price? Well, I want you to own this record, and enjoy it, and if choosing to pay a buck, or five, or ten, or whatever makes you feel good to get it and to know that I'll think the world of you for helping me out, well, it can't get much better than that.

Second, please don't redistribute this version of the record anywhere. Not on any P2P, torrent, or other "sharing" sites, or copying it for friends. You see, I believe it's my right, as it is any artist's right, to decide and control how, where, and for how much their work is distributed. Please respect this and I'll respect you right back. And if you know someone who might want to hear this record, please send them to http://www.radio-valkryie.com/ao/aoindex.htm where they can pay what they want, or even get a free version.

Those who know me know I am pretty vocal about people not paying for music that they want to own - especially independent music - as I think we're in an era where we're doing a lot of damage to the really good music out there. Sure, there are some corporate interests that the world would be better off without, but to hurt small labels and artists by the same means that are used to protest such things is causing more harm than good. So, please, support the music and musicians you like so they may continue to make more music more easily.

Remember, too, that this version of the download comes free when you buy the CD.
So that's an option, as well.

Thanks for reading and understanding, and I hope you enjoy the record.
