New Recordings - A Thought (& a good one!)

Hi David,

I like innovative ideas, and to me, this is one of them!

Congrats on your cool idea, and sign me up.

An autographed CD from Tomita (he would autograph some of them, yes?) -
and the wonderful new music is something I would be happy to pay for.

Thanks,

Kevin Anderson

P.S. What price are we talking about? $15? $25? $50-75+?

This is something that he *MIGHT* do *IN MY OPINION*!!! Don't get your hopes
up, but I will email and ask. But as I've said before, email correspondence
with Tokyo is poor at best.

But personally, I like the idea; an autograph a nice way for an artist to
acknowledge the (in this case) very longstanding support he has received.
