OK, so you're a friend of mine, and you've been waiting for the right time
--maybe you think, the next time we meet-- to buy my CD directly from me.
 
Well, I appreciate the thought.
But, the thing is this...I get a really good deal when you buy through this online store at my website.
I really don't get ripped off here, like I do other places. So, it's just as good, and as safe, as buying from me.
 
And, every sale here gets reported to "Soundscan," the major company that tracks CD sales.
Sales straight from me don't. So, that actually helps me out in a way that buying from me directly can't.
 
So, although I appreciate you trying to be considerate,
wanting to buy direct from me, this really IS buying direct from me.
 
So, what are you waiting for?!
