Daniels had the crowd standing, stomping an clap- ping wildly when-his 60 minutes of down-home music was over. Backed by the 65-piece symphony orchestra, Daniels and his five-member band played at the Grand Ole Opry House. The group, whose sound is a hybrid of many musical styles but certainly not classical, played all its well-known hits, including The Devil Went Down to Georgia, The South's Gonna.

There'll still be weeping relatives, but the notary’ will “be replaced: by a color video- tape system. For a fee of about $100 an hour, Tel-Eternel will video- tape a client reading his last will and testament.

FILM ON LOCATION The company will have * three mobile units to film clients on location and there “will be make-up artists. He and Cyr say Quebecers are tuned in to this sort of _. innovation. The idea came from Los Angeles where a company called Videowills had 4,000 paying customers last year. In addition to the video- tape, there will be a written, notarized version of the wills. The notary will also keep one copy of the tape and Tel- Eternel another in a vault sealed to guard against atmospheric changes harmful to videotape. TAINMENT a pre-publication offer.

MAKE METAL PLATE Waroshuk said the cost of manufacturing an album, which is included in the $9.98 price, includes producing an acetate disc from a finished recording tape (called a mas- ter tape) through a compli- cated magnetic coding pro- cess. A metal cutting plate is made from the acetate disc. This metal plate stamps the grooves on the From the time the first guitar chord is played to the packaging of the album for shipping, the cost is about $5.50. It breaks down as follows: $1 for pressing the album; 25-50 cents for cover- sleeve design and printing; 50 cents for federal sales tax on production costs; 20 cents for writer royalties; 50 cents sto $1.60 for artistroyalties; 10-50 cents for producer fees; and $1.50 for record company profit (out of which comes promotion and freight costs). ADDS 20 PER CENT The packaged album then goes to a distributor who adds about 20 per cent to the price. The rest of the $9.98 is paid to the store for overhead and profit. This can be as much as $4 on some records. Al Mair, president of Attic Records, an independent la- bel in Toronto, said the cost of recording an album can range from $7,500 to $1 million.

The report says that so far, pay television is largely a U.S. phenonenon, but when it arrives in Canada late next year, the American experi- ence could be matched here quickly, raising by that in homes with cable, tel- evision is watched more hours a week than in homes without.
