29 Nov 02 - 01:45 PM (#837285) Subject: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: Amos Guys, I don't know or much care what the politically correct term for the forthcoming holiday is, but I do know one thing -- we owe Max more than lip-service for keeping this forum together in spite of hard times and a lot of flak from the ungenerous among us. Let me propose that everyone turn out this Xmas season and provide a small amount of support and exchange by getting yourselves and your friends Mudcat CDs from CAMSCO. The bulk of that money goes striaght to Mudcat support. Those of us who pushed the project through -- Dick Greenahus, myself, MichaelR, Homeless, Sorcha and others -- did it on a volunteer basis for this reason only -- to give th3e Mudcat a better shot at long term survival. What you get is a wonderful collection of music! Five CDs stuffed with Mudcat singing and playing from all over the world. Songs from the ancient centuries right up to this decade. An amzing spectrum of folkie talent deployed at your command! What we get collectively is the excitement of swamping Max with a surge of support greater than he's ever seen before!! Ya think that would make his holiday, maybe? Sure it would!!! Get behind this wave, order your CDs from Dick Greenhaus right away!! Get a whole set!! You save money!! And Max has a GREAT Xmas. And so do I!! And so does our cyberhome!!! What d'ye say??? Orders in??? Go, go, go!! A |

Shipping is via First Class Mail (for single CDS); Priority Mail (for sets) Disks are done and ready to send out. They sound fine! |

29 Nov 02 - 05:57 PM (#837419) Subject: RE: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: Amos (Lord, grant me the patience needed to see this through.) There has been a thread on the Cat for many days now called For Sure Order Info For Mudcat CDs which contains all the data you need to make sure you get your CDs as soon as possible. They will be SHIPPING ON MONDAY. They contain lots of good music. Sung by friends. You can see the playlists in the individual Mudcat CD Series threads: Mudcat CD Series: Plum Mudcat CD Series: Orchid Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry Mudcat CD Series: Violet Mudcat CD Series: Rose Guest -- send me a PM about the CDR issue. We need to talk. Meanwhile, let's flood Dick with orders. A |

29 Nov 02 - 06:20 PM (#837431) Subject: RE: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: GUEST Amos, With due respect, and I know that you've worked incredibly hard on this, I need to speak to Dick What the hell does a "lifetime warranty" actually mean? |

29 Nov 02 - 06:53 PM (#837443) Subject: RE: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: Amos Well then call him up and stop peeing in the soup, mate. He made it pretty clear -- if the CD is defective or fails he will replace it. Jesus, you're talking about CDs, not Boeing 707s!! A |

29 Nov 02 - 07:39 PM (#837467) Subject: RE: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: GUEST,Different guest Just a question on Sorcha's instructions. Don't you accept plastic from UK? I send credit card numbers to UK bookstores and music shops all the time; can't UK customers order from camsco with their card numbers? |
|
29 Nov 02 - 07:50 PM (#837471) Subject: RE: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: dick greenhaus Different Guest- CAMSCO accepts plastic from anywhere. The business about ordering from Bill Sables is a convenience to those overseas Mudcatters who don't use credit cards. Lifetime warranty means that if your CD ever goes bad, send it to me and it'll be replaced. The lifetime referred to is Mudcat's (which is apt to be longer than mine, I hope) or CAMSCO's, whichever holds out the longest. |

29 Nov 02 - 08:21 PM (#837486) Subject: RE: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: Uncle Jaque References to the individual CDs do not seem to be "linked", so in a nutshell... Are these albums arranged in any particular grouping - ergo; "Traditional" on one, "celtic" on another, etc., or are they all randomly assorted? I would be interested in particular genre's, such as "Gospel" or "Early American", for example, while not so enthusiastic about "contemporary" or "Protest" themes, per se.. I assume that it would be easy to arrange a gift CD sent to another address in Europe as well as here in the US - does CAMSCO handle the currency exchange, for instance? I'd want to listen to the albums before sending them as gifts, but if what I was hearing back on the old "Paltalk" cyber-song-circles (those were kind of fun, weren't they?) is any indication, I have little doubt that it is top-drawer music. And it surely is for a splendid cause! |

29 Nov 02 - 08:54 PM (#837501) Subject: RE: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: katlaughing They are that and then some, Uncle Jaque, hands-down. And, yes, those were wonderful times! |
|
29 Nov 02 - 09:28 PM (#837522) Subject: RE: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: Amos Jacques: The playlists are on the threads mentioned -- excuse me for not linking them but if you just put Mudcat CD into the filter and set it for 30 days you will have them at your fingertips. They are not organized by themes, simply by aestetic intuiition as to what would make pleasant groups of songs and also include all those who sent in material for inclusion at least once. A |
|
29 Nov 02 - 09:56 PM (#837530) Subject: RE: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: dick greenhaus All the major credit cards handle currency exchange. Cheques in, say, shekels or deutschmarks could be a problem, though. |

30 Nov 02 - 10:46 AM (#837712) Subject: RE: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: Amos OK, gang, order 'em now!! Shipping satarts MONDAY. This is a historic Mudcat event. That's historic with an "i", not a "y", for the wise guys out there!! Seriously -- think of this -- a voluntary collaboration and compilation of private citizens singing from all over the world, representing the whole spectrum of Mudcatlandia ! Planet-wide folksing!! I don't think its ever been done before!! And you can get that first release!! Wow. It's amazing!! Flood Dickl! A |

30 Nov 02 - 11:18 AM (#837723) Subject: RE: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: treewind I'm in the UK... I PM'd Dick with my CC number, then realised I should have sent to Bill Sables as a UK buyer so I sent my CC details to him too. What will happen now? Will my order get processed somehow? Will I get charged twice and get two copies? (as if I cared really, I'll find a home for them...) Anahata |

30 Nov 02 - 11:23 AM (#837725) Subject: RE: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: treewind Cancel that - I've just had a PM from Bill S. For the avoidance of doubt : Bill Sables cannot accept CC payments so UK 'catters have to PM Bill and he'll give you the address to send a cheque to... which I'm now about to do. Anahata |

Might put the pore GUEST'S fears to rest as he seems to be certain he'll get him/herself screwed one way or the other. HEY MAX!! Need some marketing ovah here Sir!

30 Nov 02 - 03:50 PM (#837854) Subject: RE: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: Joe Offer I think it's a great idea to buy Mudcat CD's and help Mudcat, but it also might be an idea to remember our friend Max during the holidays, and send him a card or something.

01 Dec 02 - 11:03 PM (#838624) Subject: RE: Max's Christmas: ALL HANDS!!! From: Amos I agree with Joe that cards and personal notes will warm the cockles of Max' heart. But flooding Dick with orders for the Mudcat CD will replenish the Mudcat Operations reserve and make him happier in the long run. To lose those men, our captain cried, It grieves my heart full sore. But to lose that GOD-damned twenty-ton whale, It grieves me ten times more, Brave Boys! It grieves me ten times more! So scrape up your pence and get your orders in for Christmas!!
