Dear Fellow Kawagamites,
In follow-up to my e-mail of December 12 (the main content of that e-mail is repeated below, for reference), I write to let you know that recording of the reunion song Same Old Tune is complete. The face plate for the discs is not yet done. I'm pleased with the recording.
I intend to wait another month to receive further orders before printing the disc, since I don't need a stack of discs that nobody wants.
Let me offer you a little encouragement to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!... yes, the cost of $7 may seem high for a single song, when you can download a popular song from the web for 99 cents, but, believe me, this is not a profit making venture. To put it in perspective... recording studio expenses were $450, and the old-fashioned costs of production, packaging and postage are on top of that. The effort and energy are free. I'm optimistic that it will be a worthy memento of our wonderful September reunion.
I'm keeping a record of orders received or intended. For those of you who also included payment for the cd album Such A Good Time, I hope the delay of a month is acceptable - I'll be mailing it together with Same Old Tune.
If I can arrange a production option to print copies of the reunion song one at a time, I'll get them out sooner.
with fond regards,
Arnie
details from the previous e-mail, with a few new options in boldface:
... those of you who are interested in receiving a copy, place an order by mailing a cheque for $7.00 (or $8.00 Cdn for American addresses), along with your legible mailing address, to
Arnold's Music
33525 Seventh Avenue
Mission, B.C.
Canada
V2V 2E8
I realize now this could be $7 in either Canadian OR U.S. funds (results after postage being close to equivalent).
If it would be easier, you can make a payment to Arnold Shoichet through Paypal. Cost through Paypal is $8, in either Canadian or U.S. funds (Paypal takes a cut).
I would invite you also to consider ordering a copy of my first CD album of original songs, called Such A Good Time. You can learn more about it (and hear a few of the songs) on my website, www.arnoldshoichet.com
If you use Paypal to pay for both CDs together, add $2 to the cost; that is, Paypal cost is $27 Cdn to Canadian addresses, or $26 in U.S. funds to American addresses.
