Changing E-Mail Software

We have changed our email list software in order to give our friends a bit of control over the mail they receive from us. Originally we simply kept a big old list of emails/names of everybody we knew who had expressed interest in attending a house concert.

This week we are setting up a professional email list service to help us handle the success of the Auburn House Concerts. The new software uses a confirmed opt-in policy to ensure, by email, that subscribers intended to join your mailing list. When subscribers join the mailing list through the subscription link on our Web site, we send them an email message that contains a confirmation link. Subscribers must click the link to confirm they want to be added to your mailing list.

This new policy guards against the possibility that a third-party added the subscriber without their knowledge or permission.

Once on the Auburn House Concerts list you will be able to indicate your interest is any of the following areas:

• House Concerts
• Irish Sessions
• Song Circles

Auburn Journal Article

The Auburn Journal featured an article about our concerts today. House concerts offer intimate show setting, by Loryll Nicolaisen a Journal staff writer.

I like the photo she choose (Melanie O'Reilly's 2007 performance), it really captures the intimacy of our concerts.

A Train Set

This was recorded at the Stevie Coyle concert on January 17, 2009.

The Last Steam Engine Train is a finger-style guitar standard written by John Fahey. Train On The Brain is an original song that Stevie Coyle wrote for his 2009 solo CD Ten-In-One.

Winter Sun

Gerry O'Beirne plays his tune Winter Sun at the Auburn House Concert, November 20, 2008.

Gerry recorded this beautiful instrumental on his 2008 CD The Bog Bodies And Other Stories: Music For Guitar.

Listen through to the end because the last minute is extraordinarily beautiful. The room was full of overtones and celestial bells that record/playback just can not capture. If you love to "listen" to music, do yourself a favor and plan to spend this Halloween at Gerry's next Auburn House Concert.
