Since it's been confusing people, I'm starting a NEW thread about Volume 2 of the "Wooden Flute Obsession" CDs.
The original thread (mostly about WFO1) is at:
http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?t=5657
Here's an experiment: I've posted a single MP3 file ( beware 3.5 MB! ) with the first 10 seconds of each of the 22 tracks on Disc 1 of Wooden Flute Obsession volume 2, in track order (sorry, the track order list page is not loaded yet). Much as the index function of some CD players would preview them. I've now done the same for Disc 2. You'll find them at http://www.worldtrad.org/WFO2_CD2.htm
(edited to add): Similar samples also for WFO1, at http://www.worldtrad.org/WFO_CD.htm
I'll post a message here when the volume 2 CDs are available for sale. Right now, they should have finished at the printers, and the CD replication is underway. Silk-screening and assembly may take place later this week.

It is certainly the classic wooden flute CD, as far as I'm concernedDenny wrote:I'd bet that there are few regulars to this forum that aren't!Whistlin'Dixie wrote:Salivating........

In anticipation, I purchased An Gaoth Aduaidh (The North Wind), a CD of solo flute playing from the Irish Tradition. It was suggested to me by Philippe Varlet, and I have enjoyed it greatly.

Not as much sallivating here as biting my nails in nervous antecipation...
I love the North Wind, actually i think it's my favourite flute CD now. Did you notice it's just flute, nothing else? These guys play so well that sometimes i don't notice.
I have a North Wind CD autographed by all the players, which my friend Emily brought from Ireland to me!
Isn't that nice? I'd marry her if i wasn't already married (or if we both lived in Utah).

About 5 business days to arrive. Don't know how customs will treat it.GaryKelly wrote:Kevin, that 'special bundle' offer is great, especially for newcomers like meself who didn't know about Volume 1, much less Volume 2. Can't wait for them to arrive
I wish the exchange rates were more to our own advantage.

Just got mine today; it's playing as I type. Yay!
Thanks for the work it must have taken to pull this together, Kevin.
Doc, I was able to order the CD by login directly into PayPal (this will only work if you have a PayPal account, of course) and sending money along with a note to Kevin re: which CD I was ordering; Kevin will have to give you his PayPal account name for this to work (sorry, I don't have it to hand). The ordering links on the page didn't work for me, either.
It's nice, this CD. Tara Diamond is playing some jigs right now; good stuff!

The actual working links to PayPal for buying one or both are down at the bottom of the page. You have to scroll down a bit farther. I ordered both (what a deal) and my PayPal payment went through in seconds. Now if Kevin could just do something about replacing the USPS with a transporter beam ...

The issue is if you don't have a working PayPal account, or if (like me) your PayPal account is screwed up and their Customer Service folks (ha!) aren't responsive.
I can see why small businesses and non-profits like PayPal. But I far prefer to either send a check or use my credit card directly - and the direct credit card link seems to be broken.
Grump!
