Remember Not to Forget: Songs (1993-2000)

In 1993, I recorded my first album of original music for Eagle Lake Camp, the youth camp of The Navigators in Colorado Springs. Over the course of the next seven years (1993-2000), I had the privilege of recording five albums of music – three solo projects and two with the band I started called Red Letter Edition, which was made up of a completely different set of college students each year. These were good days.

I loved playing music then, but I loved creating it even more. The art of song-writing and producing were always of the greatest interests for me – partly because I never had the pure musical “chops” to “make it” as a vocalist or an instrumentalist, but mostly because it appealed to my love of trying to hold in tension the big picture with the details. Playing live was okay (and I did that a lot then, especially in the summers), but the opportunity to hole up in a studio for days and weeks on end was always more fun for me. Always.

That said, I’ve thought for some time about putting together a “greatest hits” collection of songs that I felt were my “best,” at least from a song-writing perspective. Granted, none of these songs has ever actually been a “hit” in the technical definition of the term, but these are the ones I still occasionally listen to and enjoy the most, even fifteen years later.

And now, I offer them to you. The deal:

• $10 gets you 15 songs (that’s just $.67 a song); I’ve also included a CD liner PDF with the song lyrics if you want to print it out
• If for some reason you’d rather not (or can’t) download the songs on your own, I’ll be glad to burn you a disc and mail it to you for an extra $2 – just email me at cmdunham [@] gmail.com and let me know

Two easy ways to buy:

1. For those who would like to pay online, go to Revolution Money Exchange, log in, click “Send Money,” and enter my email address (cmdunham [@] gmail.com). (Note: If you don’t have an RME account, it’s a nice thing to have; just click below to sign up – it’s free – and we’ll also get a $10 referral fee.)
   
2. For those who would prefer to pay by PayPal (sorry: non-credit, non-debit payments only), log in, click “Send Money,” and enter Megan’s email address (halfpinthouse [at] gmail.com).
