Well spaw and all, you talked me into it. I just made a deal with Outer Green Records to make a limited number of CDs of Beginners Luck. They will be special edition without fancy graphics to keep the cost down.

I hope within two weeks. And they will be available only through me for the time being This will be a limited run, so, in order to keep the cost down, we will be doing away with the fancy art work and printing. I expect the price to be around $12.00. That will include package and postage (I hope)

Don't fergit my radio copy. It's been difficult to make you a star in Toronto with the cassettes. My engineer (Duckboots) refuses to wind and rewind!

I'd like one too, kendall, can you make arrangements for us UK'ers?

If someone could explain how to do that, what with the conversion of money and all?? Postage to the UK is a bit steep too...but, we will find a way :-)

I'll happily pay postage....just work out a conversion rate for dollars into pounds........or vice versa, and I'll dib up what ever is necessary.

More than one Kendall? How terrifying. Kendall does (to my understanding) stories of a comic nature, and folk songs in a voice I'm told is heartbreaking. Can't beat those Mainiacs.

I'm sure he'd be better at describing himself.

I sent a guy in Scotland a copy of my CD. Told him the price in US$, not knowing how in the world to figure out the exchange rate etc. I just sent him the disc, and lo and behold, a week later, here came the money in crisp US bills. I don't know how he did it. In the enclosed note, he said it was a lot easier than some sort of international checque. A bad way to do business, sending the merchandise and then waiting for payment, I admit. But this time I trusted my instincts.

Why is this a big deal?

I've had a CD by the Kendalls for years. "Love Is Just A Sin Away" has always been one of my favorite honky-tonk country songs.

Mazel Tov Kendall, this is good news.
You should call yourself Sir Kendallot so you don't get mixed up with the Kendals. If you create a band you could call yourselves Sir Kendallot & The Brave Knights.

Kendall:

I'm just full of questions tonight;

Is there anyplace in the local (Freeport/Yarmouth) area to obtain your CD?

For mail order - where do we send the check?

Could you post a list of songs on the CD here?

Are you going to be around for the "Chantey Swap" on the 27th? I'll bet if you had a stack of 'em there you might move a few. I also wouldn't be surprised if Cpt. Steve took a few to carry at China Seas - and I bet he'd move 'em for you, too!

Re. the cassettes: I'm always open to really good deals on cassettes; my '91 Voyager is equipped with a cassette player and I do love to crank up those tunes, don't ye know! Also, most of my sound equipment tends to be of rather primitive technology, coming from the Yarmouth Dump or yard sales like it does, and we only own one CD player - a portable at that.. I frequently "back up" favorite CDs onto tape (editing out the obligatory clunker tracks) so I can listen to them in the van.

I've never been disappointed yet when I bought a CD from a Mudcatter (Liam's brother, Martin Ryan, Art Thieme and Rick Fielding so far), so I think I'll jump this time too. However, a tracklist could help me deciding for a yes.

Put me on the list, Kendall, I want one too! Have you decided if/where/how to sell 'em on-line? amazon.com, cdbaby.com and cdnow all have programs for selling independents. They ain't cheap, but they do all the work - so it may be worth considering.

In the last days, all things will be known..oops..left over thought.. I. Kendall Morse, po 313 Scarboro Maine 04070-0313.
2. I will have some at the shanty sing
3.At this time, I dont expect to have them in stores, because, I'm not making enough of them to make it worth the effort.Another reason, these are tailor made, limited edition, and, too expensive to leave any room for a store to make anything.

Play list:
3 Legged Man (Shel Silverstien
The Haying Song (Dave Mallett)
Gently down the stream of time (trad.)
Mrs. Ravoon (trad.)
Phoebe Snow (Utah Phillips)
Palace Grand (trad.)
Ashes on the Sea (Utah Phillips)
The Band Played Waltzing Matilda (Eric Bogle)
Rolling Home (trad.)

Then, a collection of traditional Maine humor, mixed with my own observations. (Yes, the accent is quite real)

Is this CD just your tape burned onto CD-R or has it been properly remastered for digital playback?

It was professionally done by a studio from the original dat. The only thing missing is the fancy graphics.
