Digital Multimedia Solutions for the Business World
We have been featuring friends of ours who run businesses that we think are fantastic in quality, in service, and the owners (our friends) are just great people. We wanted to highlight another one for you. LaBarge Media has been doing phenomenal multimedia work for local and national clients for decades. Their work is stellar, and we can't recommend them to you more highly. If you have a project that needs professional video or audio or other multimedia solutions, please call (888) 394-2850, or e-mail Jason or Dave LaBarge. Dave has played the drums with us for many years, and you'll find his fancy ryhthms coursing through the Come As You Are and God Came albums. They do great work, and they are great people.

Send them an e-mail today, and learn more about what LaBarge Media has to offer!

We are selling our t-shirts at or BELOW cost this week only (Aug 30-Sep 5) in anticipation of a slight change in your basic merchandise. We have not officially decided what the basic clothing line will look like later this fall, but we do know it will be simpler.

So if you like the current basic wear, now might be your last chance to get it! And, at a great low price! T-shirts starting at $5! Stop by the basic e-store today!



On The Road Again

Yes, we are taking to the road again today, August 31st, and heading to the great state of Ohio. We will be doing a concert tonight at Miami University with the Christian Student Fellowship group. It's been a while since we have visited there, but we have a cool connection with this group as Greg served as a student campus minister intern during his senior year at Cincinnati Bible College. That was a decade ago now, so, not too many personal connections, but still great to be part of what's happening there.

We'd love to see you out there if you're near Oxford, OH. We even have some friends coming all the way from ICELAND to see us there tonight! :-) So, if you're closer than Iceland... we hope to see you there. :-)

Also, coming up this weekend, we'll be at my cousin's wedding! My cousin Jim is getting married on Saturday and I get to be in the wedding, and will be singing with my sister, Tara - the original 'S' in basic - and having a great time with most all of my mom's side of the family. Will be nice.

Next weekend we head to Meadville, PA and Owensboro, KY for a few weekend gigs. Check the left column for details, or click through to the calendar page for more. Both locations have websites and further details about the event. If you are closer than Iceland to those spots, perhaps we'll see you there! :-)

(Iceland is far away.)


iTunes Downloads
The iTunes Music Store has had such phenomenal success with their 99 cent downloads and albums for under $10, they are way past 500 Million songs sold, and some of them are ours! Thanks to any of you who may have taken advantage of the coolness of the iTMS and downloaded some of our stuff there. All four of our studio projects are available through iTunes. If you click the iTunes logo to the left, it will take you to an iMix listing all of the basic songs available for purchase there. In addition to our albums, iTunes also features podcasts (free downloadable radio shows) including now TWO of ours (basicmm radio and...)

Podcasting Adventures
Buffalo Bills Review Buffalo Bills Review
We have started a new podcast. In addition to basicmm radio, Greg will be joining two other Buffalo Bills fans to talk Bills football! (If you didn't know, we have been fans for a long time, and just love football season! So, this is pure fun!) My brother-in-law, Josh Bowers, and a good friend from high school and college, Dave Drake will be discussing the good and the bad from each week's Bills game, along with previews of the upcoming game, Bills news from the week, and yes, we're even taking listeners calls!!! We set up a 24/7 listener hotline where people can call in and leave comments we'll respond to on the show! Fun!

There are also forums where you can talk with other bills fans about anything to do with the team, and we're working on a chat area so you can do that real time. Plus there will be weekly polls as well. Just lots of fun stuff you can do with technology these days. And, fairly simply!!

So if you're a football fan, or just want a good laugh (these guys are hilarious!) stop by the website at buffalobillsreview.com. You can e-mail comments or call that hotline at (716) 989-4180. We're calling it a show by Bills fans, for Bills fans, so we're looking for participation! :-)

If you are so inclined, we'd love to have you join us for this weekly show.

You can access it directly at the iTunes Music store by clicking here. Or, visit the website by clicking the logo to the left. Have fun!
basicmm radio
We are also continuing the basic podcast, basicmm radio, now on a twice-monthly basis. We're posting episodes ont he first and third Fridays of every month. The next podcast has been recorded, and features an interview that the Family Life Network did with us back in January 2003. It will be posted to the basicmm radio site on Friday September 2nd. Check it out then, or subscribe now through iTunes to get it automatically when it's posted! How fun!


Hidden Treasure
So... to reward those of you who read this far... I'd just like to share some great, fun news at the end of this issue of the basic e-news...

There's another baby on the way. :-)

Many of you know the ordeal we went through this past fall, so when we found out about this baby, we did not publicize it as early as last time. But this time, all appears to be completely healthy and normal. Jen is very tired, and occasionally nauseous, and overall feels bad. But, that's good believe it or not, as that means baby is most likely thriving! We are thrilled. The baby is about 12 weeks along now, and we are very excited. :-)

Just wanted to share the good news. If you'd ask this baby's Father (I mean the heavenly kind) to grow it to fullness and allow us the chance to know this one better, we'd be greatly appreciative. We are trusting him with all of the lives he gives us: our kids we see, and those we don't see, and even our own lives. His love never fails. Of that we are sure.

So... here we go again! :-) :-)
Well, it has been another lengthy newsletter. Thank you for reading. It's always good to hear from someone who reads this far. Hopefully it has been entertaining, informative and has brought joy to your day to read this brief publication of our latest news. :-) Don't forget to periodically check out the basic news section of our website. Plus, if you want to read this or other e-newses online, go to basicmm.com/enews.

Thank you for your support of our family and this music ministry. We greatly appreciate every bit.

Hope to see y'all out there sometime soon!
(IF you live closer than Iceland...)
:-) Greg & Jen Campbell
