Jerald Simon, a noted local music teacher and motivator, whom I have profiled in the past, spent most of a Thursday almost a month ago in the recording studio reading the motivational poems from his book: The "As If" Principle. (You can visit this link to read more about the book: http://musicmotivation.com/TheAsIfPrinciplebyJeraldM.Simon).
There are 223 tracks - almost three hours worth of original inspirational and motivational poems (222 motivational poems) he has written (read by Jerald). Visit this link to listen to sample audio files from the audio book of The "As If" Principle, and then DOWNLOAD THE AUDIO BOOK FOR FREE: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jeraldmsimon. To kick-start a marketing campaign for the audio book, he is giving the audio book away as a free download for the next day or two - or until he has had a few thousand FREE downloads or so, only from CDbaby. After that, the price for the audio book will be $3.99 for the MP3 download. Visit this link to download the audio book for FREE for the next day: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jeraldmsimon
