December News From Chris

Hi my newsletter friends,

It’s been a while since I sent out a newsletter, so I decided to blow the cobwebs off things over here and crank this out.

It is now the first week of December and even though winter solstice has not yet arrived on the calendar, it is definitely “feeling” like winter outside.  I even read that there has been snow in parts of Mexico this week.  So, that makes staying inside and getting indoor things done even more attractive.  I hope you are all doing OK and enjoying this time to prepare to celebrate Christmas and the dawn of a new year.  This year has been a busy year in many ways and I have a lot to be thankful for.

First CD – The Musing Mana Song Project

I reached a new milestone recently.  I have produced my first ever CD!  All of my work on the Musing Mana Song Project has been compiled onto CD format and is now available to order directly from my web site.  If you were following my MMSP blog postings over time you know these songs are from my very first songwriting and recording project, “The Musing Mana Songwriting Project” that was published on the Internet on this web site, between March 2008 and September 2009. In this project I produced a new song as often as possible and released it for free as a Podcast.  These songs are available here in their raw form, exactly as they were podcasted including some with my “Hey, this is Chris from Chris Hartzog.com……” introduction.

It’s got fourteen songs, you can either purchase the whole CD, buy one song at a time or buy the whole group as a zip file. There’s no DRM and it’s Creative Commons licensed. CD purchases get a real CD signed personally by me mailed directly to you.   Learn more by clicking here.  http://www.chrishartzog.net/new-cd-the-musing-mana-song-project/

Future Stuff

I am working on a studio version CD of my songs which will feature songs that have been re-recorded, remixed and remastered.  Stay tuned for more updates.  This is coming along soon.

Woodinville Concert Band

I play electric bass in the City of Woodinville’s community band, The Woodinville Concert Band.  We are essentially a wind symphony with string basses.  We play a wide variety of music including Broadway show tunes, classical, marches and contemporary band literature.  Some concert videos are available here:  http://www.chrishartzog.net/woodinville-concert-band-videos/
