    hi guys,

    I'm trying a new demo format using short excerpts of things I've recorded, that way people don't have to listen too long to get a feel for my style. Check 'em out:

    I'll probably make some sort of demo cd sometime soon.

    Thanks,
    Randy

    thanks, jzb!

    I think producers and a&r people probably listen to just a short bit of the songs they get.... something like the intro, verse and first chorus...... just trying to hear the hook. Short attention span.... so, this way I get my stuff in front of them in just about 3 or 4 minutes. I'll work up a cd, and distribute them pretty soon.

    Thanks again!

    Randy

    Hey, Greg!

    Thanks for the word! I'm still working on the network, and I'm thinking about making an instructional dvd for slide guitar, maybe focusing on behind the slide technique, and some other things like that. Good luck with your new record! Sounds absolutely killer!

    Randy
