New CD!

Thats right! I decided that I should make a CD to sell at the farmers' Markets since I go there and play my fiddle and everyone stands around and listens...and sometimes throws money in the donation jar. This way I could have an additional method of making some money. I think I am going to sell them for $12 each and if I have to ship them somewhere it is about a $3 shipping charge.

Below are a few pictures. No I am not mad in the picture of a picture but I was going for the "Old-Time" look and in old pictures no one ever smiles. I have a picture where I am smiling inside the cover.


This CD is Recorded, Mixed, and Produced by myself. This is so neat. I have this drive called a LightScribe drive and I can actually print to the CD using a laser. It looks very professional.

In all 12 of the tunes on this CD, I play all the instruments in each tune. The CD has that "Old-Time" feel to it.

Below is a list of the tunes I have on this CD:
1. Molly Put the Kettle on
2. Angeline the Baker
3. Amazing Grace
4. Arkansas Two-Step
5. Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine
6. Dance Around Molly
7. Come Thou Fount
8. Nail that Catfish to the Tree
9. Horse and Buggy-O
10. Louisville Breakdown
11. United States March
12. Shamus O'Brian


In some of these tunes I play harmony fiddle. I am also playing the clawhammer style banjo in a couple tunes. I really am happy with how it turned out and am excited to release it.


Anyone interested in a CD can send an email to me at xcalibursword@gmail.com . I accept pay pal over the Internet or check or money order.




If its people who are close to me that I know...I wont charge shipping I'll just take it to them but for those who live to far away, a $3 shipping charge will apply (for 1 to 3 CD's shipped at a time).

That looks like an interesting CD. I was curious why you decided to use a LightScribe to make the disc label though. I would think you would have wanted a label that looked "older". I have used my DiscPainter disc printer to make CD labels in sepia tones, black and white, and faded to give them the antique look I wanted. Plus as an added bonus, the text the DiscPainter prints can actually be read with out squinting. I'm not trying to be critical at all. I admire folks who have musical talent. I just wanted to pass on a tip for the future.

I wanted it to look old but I also wanted it to look professional. The old part I was talking about was just the Cover picture I was trying to make old looking. The LightScribe was actually Cheaper for me (Per CD) than if I had bought one of those epson printers that could print the lable on. Also, the very fact I am using a CD makes it not so old. So thats why I was going for professional looking CD but with an Old-Time photo.
