As you know, I am a great fan of eFolkMusic. There are hundreds of folk music artists on eFolkMusic from a wide array of musical styles. And now, it’s even easier to get in on all the good music there (and, download it to your computer or ipod, too!).

.

I have 39 songs on eFolkMusic (in the digital albums Weird Duck, Hungry When I Wake, Lean In For A Kiss). 26 of those songs are free to members. If you are a member (one month costs only $4.95), you can download any of those 26 songs and any other member mp3s up to a total of 100 mp3s every month. And, if you don’t use up all the 100 downloads, and you renew for the next month, you get rollover download credits, like rollover cell phone minutes. It’s a pretty cool deal.

.

I also have one song which is free to everyone (members or not), Lean In For A Kiss, in the Vol 3 Digital Sampler. (And, you can download songs by 11 other artists and bands, too.) The information for acquiring those songs is after the fold. (more…)

I’ve written about this before, but the sampler is still up and there may be people who don’t know the song is out there as a free download. It’s offered by eFolkMusic as one of 10 free downloads.

eFolkMusic is in the process of making some big changes. Over the past year, efm has given away over 25,000 (TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND) free mp3 downloads. Membership has been only $30/year. Membership gives you access to over 2,000 free mp3 downloads (probably more than any of us will ever download).

.

Here’s what’s changing. There will still be free mp3 downloads offered. There will still be 10-FREE-MP-DOWNLOADS offered every so often. But, the individual free mp3s, on individual artists’ sites, will be available for free only to members.

.

So, to keep downloading tracks from eFolkMusic without actually having to buy them, all you need to do is join. It’s a really great deal. If you love folk music, in all its many incarnations, maybe it’s time for you to join eFolkMusic.

.

You can get lots of great music on mp3 downloads and help keep folk music alive (all at the same time!).

.

You’ll be glad you did!

Thanks!

I just want to say that I am crazy about eFolkMusic. I think it’s an incredible oasis for those who want to hear more music than what is available on commercial radio. There is some great music on the air, but there is even more music available here.

.

There are so many styles of ‘folk’ music, I know you will find mp3s you want to download. You’ll even find some of your favorite musicians in this space.

.

From personal experience, I’d like to say you can’t go wrong with a membership to eFolkMusic. For less than the price of two cds at current prices, you can have access to about 2,000 mp3 downloads (FREE ‘Member’ Downloads). What a deal!!!

.

eFolkMusic has been a leader in offering mp3 downloads for the past seven years. eFolkMusic offered mp3 downloads from a variety of artists long before other sites offered digital downloads.

.

eFolkMusic is a nonprofit organization and depends on your support for its survival. In the past year, visitors downloaded 25,000 FREE mp3 DOWNLOADS.

.

Now you have an opportunity to support eFolkMusic. Now is the time to do your part to help keep folk music alive. Membership in eFolkMusic begins at $30. Membership in eFolkMusic gives you access to about 2,000 mp3s. Do the math! It’s a great opportunity!

.

As a member, every mp3 marked ‘member download’ is a FREE mp3 DOWNLOAD for you. This translates to only pennies per song.

.

You won’t find a better value than eFolkMusic. Come on over and explore the music, listen to the previews and do your part to help keep folk music alive!

I posted several songs recently and promised them as free mp3s on eFolkMusic. A few hours ago, I realized they were not listed as free. If you looked for them and did not find them, please look again. They’re posted now: “Let Go” from the “Hungry When I Wake” digital album, “You’re Not the Only One Who Hurts” from the “Lean In For A Kiss” digital album and “Teddy Bear” from the “Weird Duck” digital album. The rest of the songs on those albums are available either as member downloads or mp3s for sale.

I’m working on a new round of songs. On http://efolkmusic.org , I have two digital albums up. One is Weird Duck. Almost all the songs are about animals and most could qualify as children’s songs. The other is Hungry When I Wake. It’s for adults, and the songs are stories about people I’ve seen or imagined. The digital albums are available for purchase. The individual songs are available free as mp3 downloads to eFolkMusic members.

.

Another cd, Lean In For A Kiss, is not yet available on efm. The (currently) free mp3 download “I Smile Again So You Won’t See Me Cry” is from that cd. Last year, I wrote songs for two more cds. I’m still waiting to record them in a studio. I hope to get started on that sometime this fall..So, when “Lean in For A Kiss” is available (recorded in 2003), and when the two cds from 2006 are online, and when the new group of songs are recorded and uploaded, there will be six cds available to download. Full length previews are available for every song that is available for download, so you can listen first and only keep the ones you like.

.

Thank you again for supporting folk music. If you’ve not yet checked out eFolkMusic it’s just a click away - http://efolkmusic.org .

At the back of the noisy café
bent over a table sits an old man;
a newspaper in front of him, without company.And in the scorn of his miserable old age
he ponders how little he enjoyed the years
when he had strength, and the power of the word, and good looks.

He knows he has aged much; he feels it, he sees it.
And yet the time he was young seems
like yesterday. How short a time, how short a time.

And he ponders how Prudence deceived him;
and how he always trusted her — what a folly! –
that liar who said: “Tomorrow. There is ample time.”

He remembers the impulses he curbed; and how much
joy he sacrificed. Every lost chance
now mocks his senseless wisdom.

…But from so much thinking and remembering
the old man gets dizzy. And falls asleep
bent over the café table.

Constantine P. Cavafy (1897)
