Heck has frozen over and Bob's set up his
own little online shop.
What it lacks in snazziness, it makes up
for in earnestness.
And it'll be Bob who packages, addresses,
stamps and drives your CD
to the post office. Support
staff? What's that?

SIX
STRING PRAYERS CD
Six
String
Prayers
is
Bob's
2007
release
with
guitarist extraordinaire John
Standefer. This collection marks their
first
recorded
collaboration
and
is
an
interesting musical departure for both
men. Normally Bob's guitar is front
and
center
on
all
his
recordings.
Here, he plays on two tracks with John's amazing
guitar arrangements and
creative
accompaniment
partnering
with
his
vocals on all the
album's eleven songs.
John
has
a
string
of
wonderful instrumental albums and many years of concert
appearances and guitar
workshops
across
the
country.
SSP
is the first time he's recorded an entire album with a vocalist.
John
and
Bob
handpicked
each
of the songs ... well, in John's case he sort
of handpicked them all (a little
guitar
humor,
folks)
...
an
eclectic mix to be sure. Bob
explains, "We didn't start out to make a worship music
genre
album,
but
there
are
elements
of that here. Is it a vocal album with lots of
guitar passages or a guitar
album
with
lots
of
singing?
The
answer is ... it's really both. We hope each of our separate
audiences will be
pleased
to
"meet
the
other
guy" and find the work we
did together as rich and satisfying as we felt about it when
we
were
making
it."
The
songs
(right-click
on
each
of the mp3 buttons for a sample):
About the
clips ... I had fun doing these. In some cases I rearranged the
actual song structure to give you a taste of John's incredible
guitar
work and some of my vocal as well. All web browsers (Internet Explorer,
Firefox, Safari, etc.) are different. I suggest "right-clicking"
on the mp3
buttons and choosing to open the file in a new window or
tab. In some cases, whatever player you have on your system
(Windows
Media Player, Quicktime) may pop up. Hope it works for
you.

FINISHED SHOPPING AND READY TO
CHECKOUT?
Before doing
that ... take
a
second to give this a quick read-through:
If
you're an experienced eBay user, you know about PayPal.
I've used
the service for years as a buyer and seller
on
eBay. This is my
first venture as an online, from-my-own-website seller.
And since
my little "shopping cart" actually runs through PayPal on their web
site, you may have questions.
I'll try to anticipate some of them.
--
You don't need to be a PayPal member or registrant to buy from me.
-- But if you are, you can use funds through PayPal or a major
credit
card (Visa, MC, Amex, Discover)
-- AND if you're not a PayPal member, you can STILL use a credit
card.
-- As
you add a CD to the cart, the price of the CD is tallied. Always
check quantities to make sure they're right.
Items can be adjusted or removed within the Cart.
-- Each time you add an item to the Cart, you'll be given the
option to continue shopping back here or to check out.
When you complete your purchase, you should reach a THANK YOU page back
here.
-- When you click on "Checkout" and you're not a PayPal member,
it can be a tad confusing.
So look for this on the page ...and
click CONTINUE
(the example below is a graphic, not a link ... so don't
drive yourself nuts):
--
Hint:
Rather
than
order
several of the same title as individual CDs
to specify autograph instructions for each,
choose
a
quantity
(1,
2 or more) and then give me
autograph instructions for multiple CDs in the "added notes" section.
-- Unless you tell me not to, may I assume it's okay to add you to my
Mailing List? (If not, let me know.)
-- There should be a box in the PayPal process that will allow you to
write a brief note to me if necessary.
-- If you request a Six String
Prayers autograph, it will be me only
UNLESS I have some booklets on hand from
John
that
I
can
add
my name to. I live in Southern
California, he
lives in Southern Oregon. Sorry about that.
Although
the Canadian dollar has historically been under the U.S. dollar, the
tables have turned. Now the currencies
are about even, if not
slightly skewed in the Canadian direction. But the bummer for
most of my Canadian friends is
that prices have remained static on a
lot of items they buy. Canadians routinely pay about $20.00 per
CD (before any
shipping). At least for now, I'm holding the line
on $15.00 USD for all North American CDs (free shipping until
Christmas Day).
So Canadian listeners, thanks for dropping by. I
love what you've done with the place and I always
enjoy my visits
there.
Hopefully this modest savings will allow you a little extra cash for
necessary
expenses.
