Final burn date moved!

Having just found an old email circulation list, I have decided to move the final burn date back a few weeks to give the people on this list a chance to respond... and as there are also other fingers in other pies too, it makes a lot of sense to put the date back!

The end (and FINAL final) date is now set for the end of August, ie Saturday 31st August.

It seems silly to stop progress when it seems to be in full flow and with a few unresearched areas that could still result in sales (and thus money for the charities).

If you're new here, and would like a copy of the CD EP, please look at the following page on this blogsite for details of how to get one: http://gesturesongs.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/how-to-buy-reminder.html

SO.... PLEASE keep pushing the word for the project around as much as you can.

Ten more burning days

The title says it all. Just ten days to go until my planned end of burning day for the "Lest We Forget" charity CD EP, so please get your orders in as soon as you can please.

And once again, thank you all for your incredible kindness so far.

16 Days To Go

Sorry for "radio silence" here, I've been involved in getting the CDs all produced for everyone who's asked for a copy. 

I am still aiming at FRIDAY 2nd AUGUST as the last day for burning these CDs,  so please get your order in for a copy soon if you've yet to do so.

I am looking at a couple of other outlets for pushing the CD; if these are successful then I could delay the end date, but in reality I need to have a line in the sand to aim at for the two charities. 

As always, a big thank you to everyone who has donated already, I'm very appreciative. 

Let's up the effort for the last big push, y'all!

Deadline set for orders

I have now decided to set a date for an "end of CD burning", after which I will archive the job. DON'T DESPAIR...you have a few weeks yet, and I only need to know that you intend to buy a copy by then - but to ensure that I get the monies off to the two charities in timely fashion, please try and get the money to me, or whoever is collecting on my behalf, as soon as you can.

The date? It will be FRIDAY 2nd AUGUST.

Each CD is meticulously prepared by hand, and each one takes almost an hour from start to finish, so I don't want to be doing it into my dotage, fun as it is!

So, to reiterate, you still have FOUR WEEKS to decide to buy a copy... and I sincerely hope you will, if you have yet to do so. An mp3 version is also available too, please email me for details (to tokengestures@yahoo.co.uk).

Some people have asked about the discs that are used in this project; they are the highest quality professional use Taiyo-Yuden "Watershield" writeables, more expensive than others but guaranteed to play on most players. I've not experienced anyone with issues with any in my research, so these are the ones I use for any serious project.

Elsewhere on this site, I've listed some other titles that I've also made available for this charitable project; if you're interested in any copies, please email me (again, to tokengestures@yahoo.co.uk).

Thanks as always to everyone who has kindly donated so far. Can we try and double the efforts in the next four weeks... that would be so brilliant if we could!!

Many thanks everyone,

Steve, 6 July

How to buy - a reminder

In case any of you want to buy the charity CD but can't be bothered to dig down through the postings to find out how, here's a little reminder.

PAYPAL
This is the easiest to me. Just use PayPal and send money (preferable £5 GBP as a minimum donation) to me using the following account email address:

stevestringbender@yahoo.co.uk

making sure that you include details of where you would like the CD sent to.

CASH / CHEQUE
Off course, this is also acceptable, but please write to me at the same email address asking where to send payment.

That's it for now, I'll keep it brief. Any questions do please write and ask. PLEASE keep the CD requests coming in.

Thanks as always.
