30 Aug 10 - 06:41 AM (#2975757) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: GUEST,surreysinger sans cookie And if you're going to be at the East Anglian Traditional Music Trust Day in Stowmarket this weekend, I should have had a small supply of "Eloise" from Ralphie by then which I will have available for sale on me at the non-postage and packing price of £12 ... in the time honoured words of the ice-cream van .. ."Stop me and buy one" !! (Feedback that I have had from two or three who purchased and heard the merchandise at Whitby was that they considered it to be lovely). Unnamed guest ... yes indeed . I assume you're referring to the composer rather than the tune though ?? LOL |

02 Sep 10 - 03:15 AM (#2978225) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: GUEST,Ralphie Thanks all. olddude. There are some early mixes on the "onmvoice" website, but for the life of me, I can't find them at the moment!! (And you'll be pleased to hear, there is no singing!) |

02 Sep 10 - 03:49 AM (#2978239) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: GUEST,Gadaffi Be outside The Sun at Chaversham on Saturday lunchtime, Ralphie, and persuade me to dip my hand in my pocket. I'll be the one NOT wearing a kaftan! |

02 Sep 10 - 06:36 AM (#2978302) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: GUEST,surreysinger sans cookie Having been asked to help Ralphie "find himself" herewith the link to his Onmvoice page You'll find some of the tunes which can be found on "Eloise" on there (albeit with an earlier mix for one or two) which will give you an example of what to expect with the CD.Hope that helps, Old Dude? |

02 Sep 10 - 06:59 AM (#2978313) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: pavane Ralphie, if you set up a Paypal account, you can take credit card payments from anywhere. Of course, they do take a cut, and I have seen a lot of criticism of them online, but I have never had problems myself. |
|
02 Sep 10 - 11:26 AM (#2978478) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: GUEST,Gadaffi Next questions, Ralphie: (a) will you accept euros? (b) Mike Wheeler, who he? (you must be aware of my useless memory for faces ...) |
|
02 Sep 10 - 11:31 AM (#2978486) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: Will Fly I use PayPal to both pay for goods and take payment for my own DVD sales. They do take a small cut of sales but I've never had any problem with them, and it's a very convenient way to do business. |

02 Sep 10 - 12:24 PM (#2978532) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: The Sandman I have a website that takes pay pal, I have found it very good and would recommend it, best of luck with your new cd. |

02 Sep 10 - 01:58 PM (#2978622) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: GUEST,Ralphie Gadaffi. You won't miss Mr Wheeler. Big bearded Melodeon player. Will be leading the troops for the opening sets on the main stage in the market square..Sat/Sun....And Yes. He will accept Euros! (I'm expecting an avalanche of Euros from my Belgium friends anyway!) Enjoy! |

02 Sep 10 - 04:09 PM (#2978741) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: GUEST,surreysinger sans cookie Sadly I shan't be going to Stowmarket this weekend as planned due to ill health, so will not be selling any of Ralphie's CDs for him there after all. However, as I understand it, they will be available from the CD stall on site ... so if you're going, and haven't already purchased a copy of this little gem, keep your eyes peeled, and ensure your own copy!! |

03 Sep 10 - 01:01 AM (#2979013) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: Liz the Squeak It is indeed a little gem, and not of the lettucey kind. I'm not the world's biggest concertina fan, but these tunes are delightful. They're played skillfully, thoughtfully and enthusiastically; there's contrast; there are some old favourites and others completely new to me, although not the world. It is a collection of different pieces, rather than a conglomeration of the same 3 tunes, played 14 times which so many CDs these days sound like. Only one bugbear - when ripping the CD to the computer (we store all our music on a separate hard drive, for transferral to MP3, or in case of accident/fire/divorce proceedings), there is no info on the CD, no track listing, no artist or even a title. Or is it just our computer being touchy? It is a very restful album, even the artwork is calm and gentle. Well worth the money and one that will be played often I think. It gets **** and added to my 'favourites' list! Thank you, Ralphie. A far cry from the last CD I got from you! :D LTS (That's four stars by the way, not an expletive). |

03 Sep 10 - 01:35 AM (#2979029) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: Ralphie Thanks for the kind words Liz. It was recorded during the winter, and maybe looking out of the attic window at all that snow we had put me into a more reflective mood! It's particularly nice to hear that you like the arrangements. I spent a long time thinking it through. Knowing that it was destined to be a "tunes" CD...(You don't want to hear me singing!), it was important that I provided some light and shade in the material that I chose. I could have done an hour of English dance tunes, but so many people have done that. So, I just trawled through what I laughingly call my brain, and picked the tunes that have a relevance to various parts of my life. (Yes, I hear you say..."Glad that wasn't my life!") As for the lack of digi info on the CD....I know nuffink! I've never understood how that sort of thing is done. I'm still living in the LP era!!! Thanks Liz. See you soon hopefully. |

03 Sep 10 - 04:59 AM (#2979102) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: GUEST,Gadaffi Ralph, Have you the nerve to drop one in to Gav? He just lives up the road from me, and know he loves the sound of a duet concertina being played properly :0) Okay, then - REFRESH! |

03 Sep 10 - 05:33 AM (#2979108) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: GUEST,LDT I enjoyed it....very regal. :) Must get back to trying to learn to play navy lark... ;) Signed, 'a yoof' |

03 Sep 10 - 09:25 AM (#2979222) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: olddude Absolutely wonderful !!! been listening to the website ... Thank you for the link ... great great job |

03 Sep 10 - 09:43 AM (#2979227) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: Will Fly Liz - did you use iTunes, while online, to import the CD to your hard drive? If you do, the iTunes will automatically quiz the central database to find the artist, CD title and tune titles when you insert the CD in the drive. All should then appear in the iTunes window. You import the CD into your iTunes Library and - lo and behold - there you have all the info! It worked for me, at any rate. |

03 Sep 10 - 11:23 AM (#2979286) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: GUEST,surreysinger sans cookie So are you going to order the whole CD Old Dude? Go on, you know you want to! LOL |

04 Sep 10 - 01:26 AM (#2979686) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: GUEST,Ralphie Hi Gadaffi Yes I know that Gavin likes the sound of a Duet being played properly (Lol!). When he stumps up the cash he can have mine!!!!! (It's OK, he's a friend and a fellow Hackney Martian. Doesn't mean he gets a freebie though!) |

07 Sep 10 - 10:51 AM (#2981578) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: Surreysinger Ralphie's CD got an airing on Genevieve Tudor's Sunday programme ... she pronounced that she could have played anything from it, and that it was "glorious" ... what more could one ask for? Go buy one :-) |

02 Oct 10 - 05:13 PM (#2998302) Subject: RE: Ralphies new CD 'Eloise' From: Surreysinger If anyone is going to Lewes Folk Festival, I shall have a supply of Ralphie's CD on my personage on the Sunday ... stop me and buy one! (Your opportunities to do so are dwindling by the moment ... he has already sold 60% of the copies he had pressed, and doesn't plan to run a second batch) ... to use that good old phrase, once they're gone, they're gone! LOL |
