Note from Steve Graham:

Like it's predecessor, Every Voice But Mine, this was a 'Just for Fun,' anyone can play production. Some tracks are obviously better than others, but there's some good stuff.

Write to me the old fashioned way:

Steve Graham
2277 S. Grove 823 W
Ypsilanti MI 48198-9291

Tell me you want the Festival of Friends album, let me know whether you want it on CD or cassette (or how many of each), and enclose either blanks and postage or the appropriate amount of $ (personal checks OK). Cassettes will be Dolby-B on Type-II tape by default, other formats on request. (Maxell CD blanks are not recommended.)

Price may be adjusted according to costs. To begin with, let's try $4 for a cassette or $8 for CD (U.S. addresses -- add a buck for Canada, $2 elsewhere, for the extra postage).

Finally, some CD players, especially portables and boom boxes which have low powered lasers, may have difficulty reading these CDs. I have had no trouble on any of the half-dozen or so home-type machines I've tried so far, including the cheap and the old.
