Michael Cooney RECORDINGS
If you’d like to buy a CD, use PayPal (below)* or send me a check.
(My address is right over there.)
$15 per CD plus $10 for postage, mailer, etc. (Postage is over $5 now).
I don’t have many recordings because I always disliked the process of making ‘em.
I just liked to play music for people. In order to avoid the stigma of Commercial Success,
I learned too many songs and, consequently, made lots of mistakes. Recorders memorize your
every mistake and replay them over and over; people don’t notice most “live” mistakes
and forgive you if you make ‘em.
I tried to extract some songs to put here from 30-
some DAT (Digital Audio Tape)
“live concert” recordings I made about 30 years ago but my DAT machine ATE
tapes; I bought another on eBay and transferred about five tapes before IT
started eating tapes too. Tim Hall came to the rescue - transferred the
remaining tapes then HIS recorder bit the dust. Soon I will learn how to put
some songs up for free download. PS - THANK YOU Tim.
MY RECORDINGS FOR SALE ARE:
1. My “newest” (and only all new) CD is Together Again, released in 2002.
2. Front Hall Records put all but six of the songs from my two LPs on their label,
"Singer of Old Songs" (1975) and "Still Cooney After All These Years" (1979), onto
one CD, "Singer of Old Songs". (I now “own” it and have new copies on my own label.)
The next two CDs are out of print but I can
send you a home-made CD copy of them - they're not pretty in a commercial way, but the
music's there.
3. My first LP, The Cheese Stands Alone (1968) has some good songs for kids.
4. My last LP, Pure Unsweetened - Live Family Concert. Songs for kids older than kindergarten.
FOREIGN BUYERS: The US Postal
Service now makes me fill out the customs forms online, print three copies and
cut them out myself (package up the CDs)
then take them to the post office. AND,
the postage is almost as much as the CD! So please send $35 for each
CD. As I near 80 years old, I find all of this, um, exasperating.
* 2021-02-15 - I have been trying to change the PayPal buttons to reflect new postage charges, etc., but I still don't know how. Hopefully
I'll figure it out
in the next few days.
