The demo CD came out at the beginning of 2000. Thanks to two of my students I was able to obtain the addresses of several record companies located in the United States. My demo was spotlighted on the Guitar Nine Records website under the Undiscovered category during all of June and July. This was a huge success for me. Through the Internet I managed to meet a lot of people who wrote to me after hearing my mp3's. By the time the year was up I had composed several other instrumental pieces.
