I didn't post it earlier because I couldn't see the point - anyone on this thread knows where to go for the CD's anyway, and it wasn't meant to be an opportunity for shameless self-promotion - I've maybe
done enough of that recently.

Still, for the terminally curious, it's
http://www.treewind.co.uk The Mudcat CD links are only a bit of text - don't get too excited...

I suppose I could put links on the 'duo' pages too.

I know someone who does NOT post here who has already e-mailed the ordering info to all her relatives with a big hint she would like them for Christmas. The Word is spreading....

There's a little arts ship in Jerome, AZ which is contemplating selling them as an impulse item. We'll see. Someone sent the information out to the librarian's league, too, I believe... My secret vision is to make a camp underground fad out of them!! Thusthe really in-crowd, the super-hip, will be those who know what "Mudcat CDs" are and have the whole set! Penthouses in New York and LA will be grooving to the rhythm of Kendall, Rick, Jed, and MMario!! Far OUT!! :>)

A thought occurs:

What happens if a British non-mudcatter wants to order a CD? The web site says PM Bill\Sables, which doesn't mean anything to the uninitiated. I believe a GUEST can't send/receive a PM, and Bill's email and snail mail addresses don't seem to be published.

(this is in anticipation of posting a message to the newsgroup uk.music.folk, which would seem sensible thing to do but not until simple ordering instructions are available)

Of course I have Bill's address but he may not want it advertised outside the 'cat...

Yeah, that's a bit unclear. Usually, Dick handles credit card orders from anywhere, and the only problem is when somebody wants to send a cheque/check. The wording inmplies that all UK orders should go throeug Bill Sables, and I don't think that's the case. Can somebody check that with Amos or Dick and get a clarification?
Ordinarily, the number of cheques may be small, and there wouldn't be any need for provisions for those few non-Mudcatters who are unwilling to use credit cards.

I believe Bill was also managing bulk distribution rather than shipping individual orders across to UK, but that was set up between Dick and Bill. Anyone who wishes to order directly through CAMSCO may do so, I imagine -- if Dick wants route the deliveryt hrough Bill he can do so-- it's just that Dick doesn't want checks in quids. Most credit cards handle exchanges automatically in processing the charges.

Dick?

And another from the Credit-where-it's due Dept.:

The idea for the graphics came from LEJ, and it was thru his descriptions and feedback that I built the (virtual) set. It was his vision - I only supplied the tools, and sent the final rendering to michaelr.

Well, that is a pretty big "only" Homeless, and LEJ, forgive me for not mentioning your stellar contribution to the success of the projhect.

I am totally stoked that this is coming off at last!


Thanks to everyone who chimed in with ideas, songs, and so many other kinds of action to make it a reality!!

How about (when you get the chance) send me a list of ALL contributors and mebbe we could put a credits page to go with the one that's started now.

Hey Boberdz! Here's that banner you wanted;~)

The Mud Banner

If any of the rest of the websters out there want to swipe it and put it on your sites, please feel free to. I got it at the top of the Tweedboard even now.

Here's what Dick says about ordfering info:

It doesn't matter whether you order from CAMSCO or from Bill Sables. It's just that Bill can accept cheques in pounds and CAMSCO can't while CAMSCO takes credit cards and Bill doesn't.

The language should be modified to say

"UK residents wishing to pay using cheques in Sterling may do so by contacting Bill Sable by PM to bill\sables or email to [e-mail]. CAMSCO cannot process cheques in Sterling or other international currencies.

Do not send credit card orders to Bill, as he cannot process them.

Any order using credit card may be communicated directly to CAMSCO by phone, PM, email or letter."

OK... here's how it worked from OZ... so the UK should be the same...

Dick can take credit card orders... but NOT via a secure server... so you send your credit card details broekn down and split between a few emails..... and he'll sort it out from there...

What wasn't clear, and still isn't from your re-wording, is that (apparently) Dick Greenhaus is still mailing out all the CD's himself.

I sent Bill a cheque in sterling because I thought he was distributing the CD's for UK purchasers - but I've just had a PM from Bill to say the money has arrived and Dick will be sending me the CD's.

In that case all I needed to do was send my CC number to Dick in the first place.

Oh well - I'll go and post something to umf anyway.
Oh and I like the banner - I'll put in a link to that!

To all UK catters, Dick decided that it would be better for him to send the CD's directly to individuals because to send a batch to me might have incured import charges, VAT, etc. As stated above Dick will take credit cards but if you want to pay by cheque in £ sterling it would be easier to go throuhg me. either PM me or drop me an email at [e-mail]

Amos, Dick Greenhaus, and Bill\Sables. The wording's been changed for the UKer's per your requests. Any other updates? Let me know, as it ain't a problem.

Remember -- you CAN have all these CDs in YOUR home, and they use LESS FUEL THAN A HONDA!!! They do not litter the living room, need diapers, smell up the Cat box or wake their owners up in the middle of the night.

Can't BEAT em!!! :>)
