Details:
From Vic Heyman:
Magic has come to folkdom. A magnificent 2-disk set of Rachel Bissex''s songs sung by some of the best performers performing today has been produced and distributed in less than 5 months since Rachel''s passing.
As Executive Producer I thank Producer Tom Prasada Rao and the many performers who have recorded songs at their personal expense----Dar Williams and Patty Larkin, Ruthie Foster, Tracy Grammer, Jennifer Kimball with Catie Curtis, Greg Greenway, Groovelily, The Kennedys, Tret Fure, Ellen Bukstel, Kate McDonnell, Siobhan Quinn, Sloan Wainwright, Rachel Garlin, Stephanie Corby, Kim & Reggie Harris, Lucie Blue Tremblay, Diane Zeigler, Ronny Cox, Eric Schwartz, Amy Carol Webb, Jim Henry, David LaMotte, Emma Goldberg, Daniel Bissex, Holly Figueroa, Annie Wenz, Freebo & Photoglo, Annie Gallup, The Dreamsicles, The New Hicks, Kristin deWitt, among others.
Even more remarkable, Oasis is donating the manufacturing, Airshow the mastering, CD Baby isn''t taking any cut on distribution, Hostbaby no cut on hosting, and Ellen Bukstel''s Design Workshop the designing. Moreover SONiA (from disappear fear) created an original painting that Ellen has married to Rachel''s lyrics to become a commemorative poster available for sale. And thousands of dollars worth of publicity from Dirty Linen, Sing!Out, Performing Songwriter, Kerrville Folk Festival, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, among others.
By buying the CD and poster or making a donation, you are helping to make a dream come true. (You need to go to https://www.tradebit.com for the poster.)
Rachel Bissex left us on February 20, 2005, a victim of breast cancer. Her friends from all over the US were devastated that this loving and so lovable artist could be taken so quickly after giving herself the maximum chance to survive. Shortly before she died I asked her what I could do for her. The one thing she was concerned about was getting her children, Emma and Matt, through college. I said that I would do everything in my power to enable them to graduate.
When the initial run of 2,000 CD sets and 1,000 posters are sold, our pledge to Rachel will be honored. You get a class CD set and assure Rachel''s kids the college education Rachel wanted for them. That is Win-Win bigtime.
Warm regards
Vic
