Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Cappuccino Date: 14 Oct 02 - 02:54 AM Thanks, Amos and Sorcha - I read it in the English dialect, as you might use it in the phrase: 'that was boggin' awful...' !!!! - ian B |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 13 Oct 02 - 01:19 PM What a remarkable opportunity to acheive and acquire high value at unusally low cost, Mister B. :>) Stateside, we Colonials refer to such opportunities as "bargains", but in New York's Garment District, the term is always pronounced "boggin".

Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Stephen L. Rich Date: 13 Oct 02 - 01:29 AM Amos -- Glad to hear that you're back at work on the project. It's been said before, but bears repeating. Thank you for all of your efforts to make this thing happen. |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 13 Oct 02 - 12:59 AM Well, it is not really my question to answer, khandu. Until I hear from Mudcat Middle Management I can't say what the logistics path willl look like. But you'll know as soon as I do, A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Chip2447 Date: 12 Oct 02 - 10:36 PM Amos, except for a crappy sound card, a lame assed microphone, and a limited memory pc I would send you some Chip the Ocarinageek ocarina songs. Maybe I'll be able to have something ready for volume two. Chip2447 |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: khandu Date: 12 Oct 02 - 10:28 PM Amos, again I thank you for the kind words. Perhaps this has been asked before, Amos. If there are four CDs, will they be "released" as a boxed set, or will they be marketed individually? Or, am I jumping the gun here? Is it too soon to answer? khandu |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 12 Oct 02 - 10:20 PM Sorry if I gave a false impression about a "CD" -- I meant the medium, not a "full CD of songs". However, my imnpression is that Khandu can do and is definitely worth waiting for. As far as I know we are now in the "Sort and normalize" phase of the initial work plan I laid out so long ago. Although we are well behind schedule, we are definitely still within the budget -- meaning volunteer hours and postage only to date, plus the costs of a lot of disks and tapes distributed across all those who sent stuff. For which, my eternal gratitude! I should be able to provide an initial breakout list soon for the CDs I am proposing. Meanwhile Mudcat Management is reviewing options on how to manage the logistics of production, payment and delivery. So we should hear more on that. Right now it is looking like a series of four CDs, estimating about 80 minutes playtime per CD. WOW!! What a great concatenation of fine singing that is!! By the time you've heard it all once you'll have forgotten what the first cuts sounded like. And of course, as you get older, you forget more, faster. So in effect this one series is a lifetime supply of good music!!! How about that!! Wodda boggin!! Pity we don't all have DVD players!! But we are on track and moving ahead as fast as discretionary time will allow. So don't despair!! They SHALL be there!! Warm regards, A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: khandu Date: 12 Oct 02 - 02:05 PM No. Unfortunately, khandu's CD is not finished. What Amos has received is a rather raw recording of a rather raw live performance of one rather raw song. Alas, I do not have any music on the web. Perhaps soon. At the present rate, it seems I will be 60 before I finish my CD (not really that long!). But the day it is done, I will certainly post it on the 'Cat. Also, on that day, I will fulfill my promise to send a copy to a particular Mudcat member (whose CD I listen to and enjoy often)! :-) Thanks for the interest! khandu |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Stephen L. Rich Date: 12 Oct 02 - 07:17 AM So,Khandu, how can the rest of us find this CD? Have you, at least, an mp3 or two posted somewhere so that we can hear a bit of it? |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: alanabit Date: 12 Oct 02 - 06:43 AM So Khandu's CD is finished. This is good news in itself! |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: GUEST,Sonja Date: 12 Oct 02 - 04:58 AM You mean I'm not the only one, reg? *G* SWO |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: GUEST,reg Date: 11 Oct 02 - 05:51 PM Of course you realize, as with any performance of mine, there are at least 10 mistakes. See how many you can find. ;~) |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: GUEST,reg Date: 11 Oct 02 - 05:48 PM Yee! haaa! Reg |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 11 Oct 02 - 05:03 PM Reggie: Got your package today!! Thank you!! Can't wait to listen to it! A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: khandu Date: 10 Oct 02 - 11:55 PM Hurray! Thanks for the kind review, Mr. A! khandu |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 10 Oct 02 - 07:53 PM Khandu: Heard it! "A Cool Cup of Water" is beeyooodiful, man!! Like wind on the Mississippi just after a sunner sundown, out where the doves are saying goodnight to the crickets. As nice a track as I've heard. Thanks!! A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 10 Oct 02 - 06:49 PM Khandu: Your CD arrived!! Thanks!! I won't be able to listen to it until tonight, but I wanted to let you know it was here. A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 10 Oct 02 - 09:46 AM Good-o, Reggie. Looking forward to hearing it!! A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: reggie miles Date: 10 Oct 02 - 12:30 AM I hope you'll get mine soon Amos. It was posted on Monday to you. |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 09 Oct 02 - 10:25 PM Not to worry, K. I am sure it is on the wings of a snow white dove or something like that. Margaret used FedEx. :>) A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: khandu Date: 09 Oct 02 - 10:09 PM What??!! No CD from khandu today??!! Dang it all to heck! Maybe tomorrow! khandu |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 09 Oct 02 - 09:59 PM Just arrived, Margaret V's lovely rendition of "Sally Gardens", with a delightful tracery of crickets playing back-up rhythm. If I was really sharp I would be able to tell what the temperature was outside when it was recorded, but me old ears aren't that delicate anymore!! :>) Thanks, Margaret! A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Tweed Date: 08 Oct 02 - 07:48 PM Snorting Dog in background?? That's gotta be one of mine! Hey OZZIE, We're IN!! No one else would ever send that off for consideration!!!BuuuwAAAAHAHAHAHAH. |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 08 Oct 02 - 11:38 AM Of course!! They're singing backup! The dog was a glitch! LOL! The only dog I know who sings backup is Angus! A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Margaret V Date: 08 Oct 02 - 10:55 AM "Forgot," that is. Not "forget." Margaret |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Margaret V Date: 08 Oct 02 - 10:53 AM Amos, I forget to tell you that I have a backing chorus of September crickets on my contribution (on your doorstep today?). We intentionally left a few seconds of pure cricket at the end of the track because after all crickets are as lovely or probably lovelier than any song (now snorting dogs, that's another matter entirely). So can you leave them on the track, please? Thanks! Margaret |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 08 Oct 02 - 10:15 AM I spent about an hour yesterday trying to track down the exact place in a song where a dog snorted in the middle of a song. Oi!! But that was an unusual case! Genie, thanks for the kind remarks. I try to help where I can, but I am about as far from sainthood as two rocks having a gossip. I hope the CD is useful. The tag end deliveries are in or about to arrive and the submissions door closeth. I'll have some assessment of how much and how many soon, Hes. A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Genie Date: 08 Oct 02 - 03:32 AM Gotta give special thanks to Brother Amos for transferring two of my tapes to mini-disk and then to CD while I was in San Diego last week. (If you guys like recordings that are not overly produced and polished, you'd love some of mine that I did in my living room with the old 4-track!) You're a virtual saint, y'are, Amos! Genie ¤:-D |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 07 Oct 02 - 06:20 PM Oh, Ian!! Thanks for the tip. I was just about to take out the laser shears and do a buzzectomy!! I agree with you, generally. I only filter enough to make the actual music being made stand out -- it's the tape artifacts--hiss and such -- I try to get filtered out. A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Cappuccino Date: 07 Oct 02 - 03:11 PM Amos, that buzz was authentic fret noise - took me ages to get it to sound right!!!! Personally, I'm happy for the collection to sound like raw material. I'd much rather that than an over-sanitised production. - Ian B |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 06 Oct 02 - 11:36 PM You guys are a herd of bloody angels, no mistake!! Thanks, everyone. I have spent the day working tranfers from mindisk and tape and trying to tweak sound files with buzzz so they sound like sound files without buzzz. Funny and trikly busines, but I learn with every file. But we are definitely getting there. If the final CDs sound a notch less than pure commercial CD, blame it on my affecton for raw material...and my weakness for the heart of an unamplified, unfiltered, untrained, and unengineered folksinger singing his heart out for public consumption. Crackle and pop or no. Love ya all, A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Mudlark Date: 06 Oct 02 - 10:24 PM Well done, Amos! Sounds like sounds will abound. Sign me up on your volunteer list...for you I'll even do dishes. Thanks for all your hard work... Nancy |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Art Thieme Date: 06 Oct 02 - 09:57 PM Amos-------Great work you are doing, sir. Thanks ahead of time. We're looking forward to hearing it. It'd be the perfect Christman gift. ;-) Art Thieme |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Peg Date: 06 Oct 02 - 08:56 PM thanks again, Amos for your dedication! Can't wait to hear it. I volunteer to help you with writing/proofreading/editing the liner notes, if ya need any help along those lines... peg |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 04 Oct 02 - 09:55 PM If you tell me it is in the mail, that'll do. Good News: Jed Marum's CD arrived!! Yayay!! And Jeannie sent in her samples!! A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: khandu Date: 04 Oct 02 - 09:43 PM Hello Amos! Just a question about "Second: ANY SUBMISSIONS FOR INCLUSION ON THIS CD SERIES MUST BE IN THE MAIL NO LATER THAN CLOSE OF BUSINESS MONDAY OCTOBER 6th without exceptions." Does this mean "in the mail" or does this mean "in your (Amos') mail box? BTW, have I thanked you for all your effort? If not... THANK YOU, AMOS!!! khandu |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 04 Oct 02 - 08:09 PM Well, Tweed, I am certain that no-one who can play de blues like you can would ever be involved in any hanky-panky...;>) A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Tweed Date: 04 Oct 02 - 07:47 PM Floridians?? Gahhhhhr!! There's that danged racial slur again, I'm gonna move back up north if this goes on much more. ;~) BTW....Way to go Amos, fine job bein' well done! |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Alice Date: 04 Oct 02 - 07:09 PM Give yourself a pat on the back, Amos. You've done good. |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Steve in Idaho Date: 04 Oct 02 - 12:06 PM You are doing fine Amos - and I appreciate it - Steve |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 04 Oct 02 - 11:43 AM Hes: The general vote was for an audio CD, although the voting might have been rigged -- I understand there were some Floridians in the machine... A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: hesperis Date: 04 Oct 02 - 11:18 AM One thing I'm wondering... would it make sense to do an mp3CD for those of us who listen to music on the ol'computer? That'd get more songs on a CD, though there would be quality loss... Otherwise there'll be quite a few audioCDs to make. We never definitively answered that, if I recall correctly. |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Genie Date: 04 Oct 02 - 02:16 AM Actually, Amos, I should've said "What Lutheran Church do you belong to?" *G* |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Genie Date: 04 Oct 02 - 02:15 AM You're apologizing for being behind in a self-imposed timetable for a job everyone wanted done but no one wanted to do but you volunteered for? Man, you gots ta give y'sef a li'l mo' credit! *BG* Genie |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Sorcha Date: 04 Oct 02 - 12:45 AM Amos, how many CD's and how much $$ total? Do you have a clue yet? |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amos Date: 04 Oct 02 - 12:43 AM Thanks, Amergin! Okay gang. The overwhelming tide of 3D noise has started to decline, and I have a little time to do what i love instead of what i must. The daughter is holding her own nicely in her first away semester at college, the dragons at work have either been slain or gone off to more interesting victims, and the Mudcat CD has risen again to the top of To Do List 1,234,967! NEWS: First, the trick of moving tapes to CD has been resolved with reasonably decent quality. Those who sent in their material on tapes are being transferred to digital form as we speak. Second: ANY SUBMISSIONS FOR INCLUSION ON THIS CD SERIES MUST BE IN THE MAIL NO LATER THAN CLOSE OF BUSINESS MONDAY OCTOBER 6th without exceptions. The door is just gonna close, okay? I have been able to leave it open way over schedule because I have been forced into all this serious schedule slippage. Third: I will be forming up playlists for the CDs once I have them all neatly in the library and backed up. I will publish a complete list. I will then be open for comments, corrections to any errors in fact, suggestions in matters of opinion, and blatant whingeing for a fixed period. Once that window is closed the lists will be finalized, Fourth: The issue of logistics for production was last scene in dialogue (presumed to have beens tarted) between max and Dick. Soon as I know more I'll tell you all. That's the current sityooayshun, folks...we're movin! Motion has begun again after an unavoidable interruption, and marching ahead is we!! I do apologize for the delays but I just don't do Superman as well as I did in my younger years. **bg** (Besides, he's really mean when he gets drunk, I am told!) A |
Subject: RE: MUDCAT CD VIII: Azure Morning Tunes!! From: Amergin Date: 03 Oct 02 - 12:11 PM just knocking this to the top.... |
