A play is not recorded. It is something in Regina. If you had showed up to my play, it would have changed your life, let's say. But if you lived in Winnipeg and didn't see my play in Regina, you would not have been able to be affected by it. The only reason The Velvet Devil went out there was that something could be passed around. When you record a play, it's archived only. You cannot record a play. It cannot be passed from person to person. You can talk about it, but you can't pass it.
A CD, which absolutely.... I'm a person from the bush. I had no idea what a mechanical royalty was. I had no idea about ownership of a play. I had no idea what a grant was. I had some work to do. And I went looking at how to bring my music to the world, how to bring The Velvet Devil, this idea, out there to the world. How do I do that? The music did it. The CD did it.
You didn't see the play in Winnipeg. The only reason it got here to the NAC was probably because I had a CD to back it up. People said, “Oh, I like her. Now let's have a look. I like the CD cover. I like this. Let's have a listen. Let's have a look.” The CD was essential, absolutely essential.
