Coming Soon -- Suzanne Sherman Propp: "Play"

Considering its only been 11 months since I last posted, there are probably 50+ things I could write about as I try to re-start this blog. But hands down, the most exciting project for me this year has been the CD that my wife Suzanne and I produced with our good friend Josh Margolis. We'll have hard copies by late December and an official release event in late January/early Feb.

There are a lot of considerations involved in producing a CD, from songs selection, to instruments, tempo, style, additional musicians, etc. Josh was a great adviser on all of the above. Now its time to create the physical copies, which will be expensive and also create a number of "moral hazard" type issues. For example:

Should we print the CD at all? Shouldn't we just go for downloads?
-- problem with that is we think kids and parents will want to hear it in their cars.

Should we find a way to re-use plastic?
-- Truth is, using plastic at all adds more plastic to the environment.

Ultimately the production company led us to a sleeve design that will use very little paper. So we think we made the right choice. Hope people buy them...
