Books and CDs in Auction for Open Mike

Subject: Books and CDs in Auction for Open Mike
From: Seamus Kennedy

Hi. I blatantly ripped off Jacqui C's idea, and am contributing 10 copies of my book Clean Cabbage in the Bucket, and 10 copies of my new CD Sailing Ships & Sailing Men to be auctioned with 90% going to Open Mike and 10% to the Mudcat. Bid your little hearts out, it's for a worthy cause.
Thanks, 'Catters.

Some may wonder how postage will be handled for your generous auction donations.

Hi, Maeve - Seamus told me postage is included in the auction price for this one.
Now for the sake of honesty, Seamus isn't the only author of the collection of stories called Clean Cabbage in the Bucket - so if you don't like Seamus, you'll like the other authors. It's a great book.

Maeve - Joe is correct. I'll pay the postage.
And if you don't like the book, buy a CD!

Open Mike - best wishes with the rebuilding of your life and home.

Thanks, Joe.

Seamus, I'd love to buy one of each. I will have to wait for mine, though. That's generous of you to cover postage. I'm sure there will be plenty of Mudcatters to bid them up to a good level for this cause!

Just added a first edition of Pete Seeger's Bells of Rhymney - very rough copy.

Really sorry but I can't find a related thread - who is Open Mike and what happened?

Debra, look in the BS section. Open Mike/Laurel is a member in California who lost her home to wildfires while she was out fighting said fires to save others' homes!

How would I add some CDs to the auction? I'd be very happy to help.

I'd like to help as well! If my cds can help I'd be happy to donate them. But what happened? Don't tell me that the fires raging in the hills of CA got to your little corner of paradise. I've not heard anything because I've not been here in a while.

Just go to the auction and follow the steps, folks. Open Mike and others of her patch of land lost their houses to wildfires while she was out saving other peoples' homes from the same fires. See the BS thread about Open Mike Losing her home, etc.

I don't know how others feel, but it might be better to stretch these things out so that folks can afford to bid on several items without their budgets being overwhelmed all at once? What say you all?

Sounds like a very good idea Kat - I already suggested that to Peace, who wants to put some CDs into the auction.

Laurel probably won't need this cash too urgently so there's no real rush for everything to go on.

Okay, I've got three new releases of all original songs to add to the auction, "Handsful O' Blues" 11 Blues and Novelty songs, "These Old Shoes" my kinder gentler offering of 12 sweeter and sillier Folk/Blues and "War Mongerin' Man" 13 no holds barred seriously social messages. I'll check the procedures regarding how to add them. I can certainly abide by whatever process is acceptable for the greater good of the cause.

Reggie, that sounds great, but maybe set it for a long length of time or stagger them so we all can stretch our spending money and have a chance at them all?:-)

For you and Anne and anyone else who wonders, here are instruction on how to use the AUCTION. Thanks!

Thanks, Kat ..added my CD to the list. There are 10 copies available, so I'm not quite sure how this works - but I'll wait and see what happens!

When mentioning this to a friend from northern CA, he offered a cash donation to this cause via my Paypal account. Where can I forward his kind donation? Is there a bank account that someone has already established?

Many thanks, Reg

I've got my eye on several of the auction items.

I will send the money (when I win them - and I'm determined!)to:

90% micklane@comcast.net and mark it for Laurel

10% max@mudcat.org

Could somebody please let me know if any of that is incorrect.

i think big mick and or rapaire might have a pay pal deal going on..
i just got back from visiting the land and my former home...the bridges are burned--literally and figuratively, but some new leaves are sprouting on the grape vines, and there are day lillies poking up
thru the ashen ground. mother nature is resiliant, and so must we be.
it is strangehow some of the things that made it thru are ceramic...
just got fired again...thanks for all your help and support. Laurel
