Greetings
all,
I was casually glancing at my past editions. I began this newsletter
around this time three years ago. It all began with a big bang and
really
great CD giveaway that featured about thirty different things
given away.
Man, that was a lot of work. And
it's kinda funny. Originally, I meant to feature my band, the
Brobdingnagian
Bards in every other issue. And now it's been a few
months since we've been
featured. Well, I'm sure you know all about
us by now. And this Tuesday if
you're in the Austin area, I would
love to see you at our CD Release for
"Memories of Middle Earth".
We are performing at the Cactus Cafe
starting at 8:30pm, and this
is a huge opportunity for us. So please consider
dropping by. You
can find out more here. FIONA
RITCHIE ON NPR
NPR's program "All Songs Considered" featured
Thistle and Shamrock
host Fiona Ritchie about the artists shaping new Scottish
music.
Great interview with a peak at some of the hottest new Scottish
acts. BAD ADs
& SUBSCRIPTIONS?
Last week, I received an "unsubscribe" notice
from one of my
readers because of a "cellulite" ad that was added
to the
message. Unfortunately, I have no control over the ads at the top
and bottom of my message. Those are all controlled by Topica
and Yahoogroups,
my list servers. You
see, this newsletter is a labor of love. While there are some
on this list
who support the products that I promote, most do not.
Therefore, any income
derived from this newsletter pretty much
covers my server costs and that's
about it. So a
thought occurred to me. Would you be willing to pay an
annual subscription
fee for this newsletter in order to make it ad
free? If so, how much would
be willing to pay for a guaranteed 24
issues a year (though potentially more)? 1.
$9 per year (75c/month)
2. $12 per year ($1/month)
3. $19.95 per year
4. $24.95 per year ($2/month)
5. $59.95 per year ($5/month)
6. Not
Interested Course,
the other great thing about a paid subscription is
considering there'd be
more dedicated subscribers, there'd also
be better chances to win free CDs.
Plus, there'd be the possibility
of offering other great bonuses too. So
what's this newsletter worth to you? Drop me a line and let me
know what
you think? _____________________________________SPONSOR__________

I've
had a few people ask for my recommendation for a web hosting

I created an index of the web hosts I've used
over the past view years with
reviews. Plus, there's some links

Celtic Music Band
Feature
Visit the artist's homepage by clicking the
link above Jim Block
is a former self-proclaimed Heavy Metal Rock Star
Carbon dated back to 1966.
He's mellowed out through the ages
has turned in the hot guitar licks for
a mellower sound. "Cry
of My Heart" will take you a mellow journey with the likes of
Enya.
It's Celtic New Age at its finest with synthesizer textures
blended with
acoustic instruments. The whole Noiseful Joy album
is very relaxing with
beautiful sounds and melodic imagery.
Beautiful music to listen and relax
to.
An
incredible blend of traditional Celtic music with modern rhythms.
The latest
album is the perfect representation of what has made
this band so incredibly
popular. The album features exquisite vocal
harmonies, plus some great songwriting.
Plus, you'll find some great
Celtic seafaring ballads. Highlights include
the title track "Sea
of No Cares", plus, "Scolding Wife"
and "French Perfume".
4. Celtic
Music Band Feature
Visit the artist's homepage by
clicking the link above Mad Rush
is family duo from Plymouth, Devon, United Kingdom
with strong solo and harmony
vocals, plus some stirring vocal
storytelling. "Music
of Time" is a song written by PG Hodge to which vocalist
Deni Couch
added a a haunting melody for this stirring ghost song
about an old man who
relives the passion and turbulence of the
war years when he danced with his
love on Plymouth Hoe. Deni
asked Trudie Hodge to write lyrics for a ghostly
waltz and was
blown away by the sheer longing the lyrics convey. It's one
of those
songs you have to rehearse over and over to sing without bursting
into tears. Mike O'Connor's haunting fiddle and the accordion and
guitar
breaks twist the knife even further. It's definitely one for
the sensitive
souls to romanticise over.
