For those who have recorded, how much did you pay for studio time? I'm putting out a CD called Mama Songs:

I have everything written and all my co-writers and co-singers and musicians set up. We're trying to work out a schedule for getting it recorded since everybody works at various jobs and stuff. I've been checking around Cleveland and have gotten such a variance in quotes for studio time! Some want you to buy a block of time, some go by the hour, some are pre-paid, some bill you after.

so looks like there are 10-11 bands/artists on here, reprezentin about 6 different locations...

stay tuned for more info as it gets finalized!

YEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHH!!!

Wanna sing with women all weekend? Just washed your mandolin and can't do a thing with it? Want to dust off your guitar? Then you'll love my music camp, Women in Harmony, July 9-11 in the mountains near Asheville, NC. You don't have to play an instrument but if you do you can take classes in drumming, mandolin or guitar. Loaner instruments available. Classes and song circles for singers and songwriters too. Held at Camp Pleiades (www.starcamp.com), you'll find comfortable cabins or camping space, all on a beautiful land that includes a swimming pond.

Lone American Girl

If it's the thought that counts, well you can take me back to Ireland.
Roving the Sligo hills, riding a bus to Charelston.
Hitch hike with my guitar, catching a ride a lone American girl.

(that's the chorus)shall I go on? Any takers!?
