Howdy Friends!
Hey, we wanted to take just a minute and let ya'll know that the transition to our new web server has finished successfully! We've done a ton of testing, and everything seems to be working just the way it is supposed to! (Of course, if any of you find a problem while using our site or the shopping cart, please let us know ASAP!) Our shopping cart system has been updated, and it is secured with a brand new, state-of-the-art 2048-bit SSL certificate! Without resorting to a bunch of techno geek-speak, This means that placing an order with us online is actually safer than physically going to the store! So go ahead, give it a try! You know you want to!
In honor of our new shopping cart software, we thought we'd feature our two newest products! First up is our latest book: Count your Blessings! With "Count Your Blessings" Kendra has arranged 30 of your favorite hymns and gospel tunes specifically for the hammered dulcimer! (If you are already a fan of Kendra's Old-Time Religion book, then you'll love this new one too!) Thanks to the unique way Kendra constructed these arrangements, the songs can be enjoyed by all levels of players, and will "grow" with a player as their skills increase! The arrangements are complete with chords and lyrics, and many of the songs feature historical information about the song or its composer! Count your Blessings! really is a must for everyone who enjoys playing inspiring songs of faith on the hammered dulcimer!
We're also featuring our new Rides Again! CD! Yep, the incredible Lost Echo Stringband is back and better than ever! Along with our pal Michael Allen (the very same Michael Allen who has been creating those amazing Cloud Nine Hammered Dulcimers for 30 years!) we stepped into the studio and laid down some smokin' hot old-time tunes! There's almost a full hour of fun to be had with this new CD, so before you do anything else, click on over to the brand new Rides Again! page, check out all the details, and get your copy now!
We'll be at several new festivals and a bunch of our old favorites as the months of 2009 roll on by, and you can stay up-to-date on all of our comings and goings by visiting our Appearance Schedule page. It has recently been updated so take a look right now!
Well, that's just about all we've got for now. Don't forget about the performance videos that are posted over on our YouTube site! We hope you'll give 'em a look, and post your comments!
One final note; remember to check out our MySpace profile! regularly! You can listen to some tunes, check our schedule, and be our friend!
That's it for now! We hope to see you out on the road and back here again soon!
