04 Jul 03 - 08:11 AM (#976575) Subject: RE: My CD won an award! From: black walnut (Sorry. That was not for suspense. I meant to say it all in one posting but pushed a wrong key.) From Canada's PARENTS' CHOICE FOUNDATION: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "Up and Over the Moon! 2003 Parents' Choice Recommended Award The Parents' Choice Awards program received many strong entries this season; these products are among the small percentage selected to receive a Parents' Choice Award. If you're visiting our website and do not see your product information posted, please don't despair. Parents' Choice is launching a new website design on July 10, 2003, and we have decided to release the newest Parents' Choice Award winners when the site debuts. I hope this brief but hearty congratulations will suffice until you receive the Parents' Choice Awards certificate honoring your work.

04 Jul 03 - 09:12 AM (#976600) Subject: RE: My CD won an award! From: black walnut Thanks so much! Yes, soundclips can be heard at my website: www.debbiecarroll.com Ordering information is on the website. Wholesale orders should go through Merriweather Records: www.merriweather.ca Here's a quote I love, from Dwain Wilder (Bear Meadow Dulcimers - Rochester NY): "I've spent the day with your CD. It is rare for me to spend a whole day with a single CD, but "Up and Over the Moon" is irresistible! You really have achieved a humor that is fresh, unpatronizing, and completely other than the corporate cuteness and correctness (e.g. Disney Studios) that so plagues thinking about children in the U.S. And, needless to say, I found it appealing even though I'm about ten times the age of your target audience." ~b.w. |

16 Jul 03 - 10:53 AM (#984439) Subject: RE: My CD won an award! From: black walnut Must share a wonderful review I received this week from Bram.... "One of the most difficult challenges in songwriting is to create a new song that has that feeling of well-worn and comfortable familiarity that so many old folk songs possess. This wonderful collection of old and old-feeling new songs is perfect for young children and their families. Debbie Carroll and her musical friends have created a thoroughly charming listening experience featuring clear and sweet singing in the best folk tradition, with an engaging variety of instrumental accompaniments produced by the versatile Ken Whiteley. Up and Over the Moon clearly belongs in the company of the finest folk recordings for young children in North America." Bram Morrison of Sharon, Bram and Friends |
