Sound Financial Advice
We have a friend in town who is a financial consultant, though I think he might think that term too limiting. His day job allows him to meet with people and discuss their individual situations and determine what ways they can best take advantage of their current financial situation and what ways they can improve it. Not a scheme, just affordable tools that work. I am also a Primerica client, and officially licensed agent, but I would refer you to Ben Schoenfelder as he is much more in the know. Ben also "moonlights" as the worship leader for Cross Creek Church in Palmyra, and was the bass player on both God Came and Live at the PCTC. He's a phenomenal musician, a great friend, and he can help you manage your financial world. Really. He's that good. :-)

Send Ben and e-mail today, and learn more about what Primerica has to offer!

Primerica did not pay for nor solicit this Ad. I just wanted to let you know about what Ben and his team are doing! So please do check into it if you are so inclined. :-)

Book Signing & Review
Friday, May 20th - 6:30pm - Palmyra, NY
This Friday night, we'll be doing a gig of a different sort. A local bookstore, Kavanagh Books is going to carry copies of my book in their store, but the owner asked if we could kick that off with an event where I could not only sign copies of the book, but also describe the process of how the book was published, and share some stories from the book as well.

The event will begin at 6:30 and will run approximately and hour. Snacks will be provided. It is a free event, but it's recommended that you call ahead. (It's a relatively small place!) Their phone number is (315) 597-0210. Contact Beth Haswell. Kavanagh Books is located at 207 E. Main St in Palmyra, NY. Click here for directions.



New Locations

We are branching out a bit again. You can already purchase basic CDs through our website, and a few others scattered around the net like, AudibleFaith.com and Amazon.com. And you can even find them at a few local stores like the chain of Alpha & Omega Bookstores in the Rochester, NY area. But just this last week, we expanded that list a bit. Below is a list of the new locations.

Christian Video Warehouse
A new online store offered by some friends of ours who operate a video editing business near here. They do phenomenal work, and some of it is now available through their online store. They have also included some of their local friends (like us) as well. They are selling all four of our studio projects and Greg's book as well. They are still in the process of getting everything up on their site as I write this, but should be done shortly.

www.christianvideowarehouse.com
CD 316.com
These guys contacted us and we had heard of them through another friend who is somehow affiliated with them (still not exactly sure of the connection.) Anyway, looks like a pretty neat site they have up. You can purchase our music through their site. You can also add your personal reviews about each CD. Some folks have already done that for a few of our projects.

www.cd316.com
CD Baby.com
This is one of the coolest independent music sites on the net. Yes, they have an enormous selection, yes, the site is well laid out and works well, and yes they are innovative (like, the $5 CD bin). BUT, that's not what makes them the coolest... They are just HILARIOUS!!! :-) It's been a pleasure submitting our music to them. :-)

If you are a fan of Another Road Trip, they offer that project in their $5 bin! It should be up within a week or two! So stop by soon.

www.cdbaby.com
iTunes Music Store
Perhaps an even cooler perk to the coolest website (as mentioned above) is that they are able to submit our music in digital form to many of the top download services available today, including the amazing iTunes Music Store! Our music is not there yet, but all four studio projects should be available for download sometime in June. We'll keep you updated at our news page.

New Ventures
In addition to increasing the amount of work I've been doing in graphics and website design, we have also begun a new venture on the side that we wanted to let you know about. It's called GregsApples.com. It's a sort of portal where you can learn a bunch about Apple Computer products (including the wildly popular line of iPod MP3 players) and purchase at great prices through Amazon.com. The way it works is I compile all the links to the best Apple products on Amazon, and then as people purchase through GregsApples.com, Amazon pays me a comission. (It varies according to what links were clicked and whether purchased directly from Amazon, or from another seller on Amazon, but I won't bore you with the details.) :-)

I plan to offer occasional product reviews and other information as it comes along. I love computers, always have... so this is a fun new venture on the side for me. Hopefully it can also provide a little income on the side as well. Not to mention hook people up with computers that not only work (as opposed to their Microsoft counterparts out there...), but are actually fun to use! :-)

We have a newsletter called News From The Orchard for GregsApples. You can sign up here. You can also view the current newsletter or archived newsletters.

Currently, Amazon is offering up to $200 off the purchase of a new Apple Computer (including the previous generation computers already at marked down prices!) The rebate is available at our site, and expires TOMORROW! So, if you are thinking about it, stop by and check it out today!!

Amazon.com Purchases
If you use Amazon a lot for book or music purchases or other stuff, you can also help us out by visiting GregsApples to begin your Amazon search. Use the little search window at the top of the page to find whatever you are looking for, and when you click go, you'll be taken to your search results page on Amazon.com, and when you make your purchase, Amazon will pay us a comission. So, you get your stuff at a great rate from Amazon, and you help out basic at no extra charge!

So remember to click over to GregsApples.com for all of your Amazon purchases! Thanks!


Shwoo!!! Boy, I certainly can say a lot of stuff!!! :-) Speaking of that, don't forget to check out the blog page every once in a while. Usually some good stuff going on over there. We look forward to seeing you at the book signing this Friday, and enjoying a quiet evening together if possible. We are much more free these days to hang out, so give us a call! Thanks for reading, and please do check out all of the stuff I mentioned in this newsletter! Lots going on, even in down time! :-)

PS... Happy 4th Birthday to our niece, Sidney!!! We love you!! :-)
Hope to see ya out there sometime soon!
