As a matter of fact, yes Bob, I have & do draw at *least* that many,
& a good deal more, thank you. And you?

Sure it does. How do you think he was able to book said mini-tour, & got those folks to come out to his gigs & buy those CDs in the first place? Why, NAME RECOGNITION, not to mention a little extra investment capital. Sure, anyone who can afford to buy, rent, or borrow a burner can disseminate their music on CD. You can give 'em away, leave a pile on the counter at the 7-11, or next to the cigarette machine at your local club. Doesn't mean you can get anyone to shell out the bucks though, and you cannot force people to care. Sure does help having people who are aware of your reputation discuss your wares among each other in, say, internet lists like this one.

Unless you've got lots of disposable income, in the absence of a
significant amount of sales there will come a time when such projects become
less & less feasible & more of a financial burden.
