/basic e-news/ Vol 8. - Issue 1 [October 16th, 2009]

It's true... it's really us! Believe it or not, we are still here! We've added to our family since the previous e-news update, and we even still get to sing every now and again. (Those times are fewer and farther between, but a couple are coming up - and that's why you're getting this e-news brief!)

Please read on for when and where to join us, how you can help us, and a fun reminder!

Saturday, Oct 17 - 3:00pm - E. Palmyra, NY

We are once again joining our friends at East Palmyra Christian School for their Harvest Festival and Auction. We'll be singing for about an hour right around 3:00pm. The event starts at 12:00pm and the main auction is at 5:30pm. It's a fund raiser for the school, but all are welcome, donations or not.

Time: 3:00pm-4:00pm

Contact: (315) 597-4400

We have one Christmas concert scheduled at the moment (Dec 4th) and a couple more in the works. So stay tuned to our website for more on that.

If you are a regular visitor to the basicmm.com website, you know that it hasn't gotten much "love" lately. That's because most of my time is spent working on other people's websites and graphic design projects. Basic Web Design & Graphics has a full load at the moment, and that means (unfortunately) that our own websites suffer (including the BWD&G website!)

However... both websites will soon be getting a much-needed overhaul. If you'd like, you can get a sneak peek here. The new layout should facilitate people finding and purchasing our music, and just cut out a lot of the clutter that has built up on the site! (basicmm.com has been online for TEN YEARS now!)

So be on the lookout for a much improved website in the next couple weeks!

This month, October 2009, is the 5th anniversary of the release of our Christmas album, God Came! To celebrate we are offering a special deal, and telling all of you first.

See, we have sold a lot of the album over those five years, but when we first made the CD, we printed more than normal. So now, we have lots of CDs still... just sitting in boxes! That's no good! It's a really fun album (a lot of you have told us so!) and we think it would be better if the CDs were in CD players and MP3 players around the world rather than in our shed or attic!

To make it easier, we're offering the CDs for $6 when you purchase 5-9!!! (And for only $5 when you purchase 10 or more.) (They're still only $10 if you want to just buy a couple!) We've also made shipping a flat $5.55 for any amount of CDs purchased. (So, the more the better!)

You can only get the special discount by clicking the "ADD to cart" buttons in this email (it's also online here.) So take advantage now and help us get the music out of boxes and into people's hands!
