FRIENDS OF BALLURIO
April 2, 2001, Manassas, VA.  Greetings, another month has slipped by.  The recording process in the new studio is underway and I'm starting to learn the idiosyncrasies of the new hardware systems.  I've got a bunch of good stuff to share with you this month.  First, Spider Dance made the Top 50 Most Popular Heavy Electric CDs for the second time on Guitar9.  Just a few more sales would push it into the Most Poplar Overall... your purchase counts!  Secondly,   I'm currently exploring opportunities that could place my CD Spider Dance at sales outlets in several other countries, I'll let you know how that turns out.

The really cool thing that I would like to take this month's newsletter to talk is the global nature of the Internet.  It has really fascinated me from the day we got into sales on the Internet the number of visitors from other countries that have found my site.  The number of hits that my site received is growing about 10% a month and the number of countries that have visited my site has grown as well.  Below I've included two items of interest the first column shows the countries that have viewed the Ballurio Web Site.  The second column provides a relative proportion of CD sales by major countries.

In my previous newsletters I spoke about sales in Italy, well I thought that you would find the proportions intersting.  The statistics are actually 70% United States, 20% various countries and 10% Italy.  Viva Italiano !!!!  Is it the name or the music?

Again,  thanks for your interest, Rock & Roll!   - KB
