Best,

Sounds great!
I like Track 6 “The Time We Have” best.
Good job,
Jon

really nice!

hey there, sven!

is this CD with your newly-acquired Boosey?

And my Wilkes Bb is figuring prominently in my own upcoming recording project. Thanks for putting it my way.

Jon and Eilam,

Thanks for the feedback.

Sven

Hi David,

No this CD was recorded with my Wilkes Pratten except for “The Time we Have” which was of course recorded with the Wilkes Bb.

We are currently working on a new album which will definitely feature the Boosey!!!

When is your recording coming out?

Sven

when? ah…well…best guess is “whenever”

I’m such a slug to get into studio, much preferring the pub session thing. Anyway, one thought has been to do a “live” recording in a session-type setting. I don’t know, we’ll see.
Currently I’m working a track for the WFOIII recording on request from its creator/producer. Whether it makes the final is his decision, so that too “we’ll see.”

What was your Boosey serial number, by the way? My own Boosey-Pratten is 5231 (c.1859)

David,

Yea live recordings can be good. Good luck with the project.

The Boosey was 11043 ca. 1879

Sven

Sven, very nicely done!

Strong band. Good, solid intros. Great dynamics.

Congratulations,
Denny

Yes. Very, very nice music.

Yes, so good, I had to order one. I thought the confirmation email from CD Baby was pretty funny:

"Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with
sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.

A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure
it was in the best possible condition before mailing.

Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money
can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party
marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of
Portland waved ‘Bon Voyage!’ to your package, on its way to you, in
our private CD Baby jet on this day, Wednesday, March 30th.

I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did.
Your picture is on our wall as ‘Customer of the Year’. We’re all
exhausted but can’t wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!"

Bob

sven,
yes, apparently yours is one of the first made at the Frederick Mews manufactury after Boosey shut down the Red Lion Yard.
Very interesting. I wonder how it “measures” to the previous ones?

dm

Denny, Henke, and Norseman,

and Norseman enjoy the CD!

Thanks for all the good feedback, much appreciated.

Best,

Sven

hey - me too! can’t wait.
sounds great :party: :party:


eilam.

the thank you note alone from CD baby was worth the money!
it’s so funny!

cd baby rocks, the 2 minute samples is one of the best ideas ever.

Sven - The CD is so good, been playing it since I got it, I can’t get “Green Grew” out of my head, there is not one dud tune on the CD.
there is more flute then the sample showed, which is really nice.
would have loved to hear Reel de Solisa with the flute and a bit slower, but at 100 MPH!! it’s impressive!
again - great CD! would love to see you guys live.
eilam.

Hi Eilam,

Glad you’re enjoying the CD so much!
Now please tell all your friends :slight_smile:

Look forward to seeing you at a live show one of these days…

Best,

Sven
