It's the Middle of November. 

How the time is flying.  Christmas is coming soon -- maybe sooner that you'd like, but here at FiddleSticks Central, we want to help.  So from now until Christmas, we're going to make it easy to share great Celtic Tunes from the FiddleSticks family band with all your family and friends.  We're offering FIVE extra special ways to get FiddleSticks recordings for extra special low prices!  Here's the short version.  Full details below:

Deal Number One: Buy 'Farewell to Nauvoo' or 'Ampersand' and Get an Extra Disc Free!
Deal Number Two: Buy an 'Older' CD and Get another 'Older CD' Free!
Deal Number Three: Buy ANY CD and get a TSSA CD for Free!
Deal Number Four: Use Andi Pitcher's Obsidian Rain as a Wild Card!
Deal Number Five: All Cassettes for a Dollar!

CDs are $15 each, with $2 shipping per order (and shipping is free if your total is $45 or more).  But these five deals will double your money, or better.  Ordering instructions are way down at the end of this message.

Deal Number One: Buy a 'Recent' CD, and Get an Extra Disc Free!
That is, if you buy 'Farewell toNauvoo' or 'Ampersand' or 'Return to Nauvoo' you can have, for free, anextra unpackaged 'Farewell to Nauvoo' or 'Ampersand' disc.  Use theextra for your car, or your computer, or as a gift. (We hope this might help you avoid the temptation to BURNa copy to share!) And you can mix and match.  So, for example, buy an'Ampersand' - choose a 'Farewell' -- or any other combination.  Andthere's no limit: Buy two CDs, get two discs! Three for three, etc!
To listen to the tunes and help you decide what to buy, go to http://www.fiddle-sticks.com/FSListen.html.

But wait, there's more!
Deal Number Two: Buy an 'Older CD' and Get another 'Older CD' Free!
What are our 'Older CDs'?  Well, they would be 'Cat and the Fiddle'(2002), 'Time and Again' (2001), 'Cold Fusion' (2000), 'PlayingFavorites' (1999), or the original 'Sampler' (1998).  We hate to admit it, but some these lovely old collections are sitting on shelves getting just a little dusty.  We'd like to getthem out of our garage and into your CD player.  So here's the deal:Buy any of our 'older' CDs and you can choose any other of the 'older' CDs forfree.  So, for example, buy a 'Cat and the Fiddle' and get a 'PlayingFavorites.'  Buy two, get two more for free! 

BUT WAIT, THERE'S EVEN MORE !!

Deal Number Three: Buy ANY CD and get a TSSA CD for Free!
If you've been a FiddleSticks fan forlong you know we contribute a tune every year to the annual TimpanogosSinger-Songwriter Alliance (TSSA) compilation CD.  These are wonderfulrecordings, featuring some of the best, most original, authentic musicfrom around Utah.  Normally we give them away with each two CDs wesell, but right now, we'll send you a TSSA free with ANY FiddleSticksCD order.  And you're already getting a deal.  How can you say no??  Toread about the TSSA CDs, go to http://www.timpanogos.org/cds. If there's one you particularly want, specify it in your order and ifwe have it, we'll send your choice (but we don't have all of them anymore, so please list a second choice).

And there's even more:
Deal Number Four: Andi Pitcher's Obsidian Rain
Before she joined up with theFiddleSticks family, Andi released her own celtic CD, called ObsidianRain, with Kristen Washburn.  It's an album of original and evocativearrangements on traditional Celtic tunes on fiddle and hammer dulcimer.Obsidian Rain defies categorization, but haunts the margins of Celticand New Age and Fusion Folk.  And until Christmas, you can use it as a'wild card' in any of the above three deals... buy Obsidian Rain andchoose any of the other freebies: the loose disc, the 'Older' album, and/orthe TSSA compilation.  You can listen to samples at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/apkw.

AND FINALLY:
Deal Number Five: Cassettes for a Dollar!
When we first started making recordings, our distributor, Excel Entertainment, insisted that Cassette Tapes Were Here To Stay.  They made us print hundreds of them for our first two releases, Playing Favorites and Cold Fusion (Celtic Christmas). Needless to say, the marketing folks at Excel were lousy technology predictors, and as a result we have boxes and boxes of cassettes on our warehouse shelves.  BUT WE KNOW the Cassette Player is not entirely extinct!  It's all I have in my truck, for example.  For those of you who are behind the times like me, or who have grandparents or missionaries or other retro-techno friends who are clinging to their cassette players, THIS IS YOUR MOMENT!  Our cassettes are on sale this month for a buck a piece.  Yep, you heard right: one dollar will get you Playing Favorites or Cold Fusion, on cassette.  Stuff Stockings with them.  Use them for your next White Elephant Party.  Give them to all your neighbors instead of fruit cake.  At a buck a piece, you can't go wrong, and our dusty shelves will thank you.  $1 each, plus $2 per order (not per unit) shipping.
 
WOW!  HOW DO I SIGN UP??:
