CD dedicated to my father

Basically..I want to record my CD and keep the promise I made to my father before he passed away. I have 20 songs I want to record and copyright, but only 12 to 15 will go on the CD (The best ones). After the recording, the mixing and the final production is done, I plan on sending out the master and have it copied and packaged. If there's any money left, I'll use it to promote the CD via various internet outlets (Itunes, Rhapsody, ReverbNation, etc.) and try to get song placements through TaxiMusic.com. I know I'm a decent songwriter and just need the funding to give me that chance!! Thanks for reading ;o)
