volunteer needed!

(1:10 pm update: Thank you so much to all of you who volunteered to help me with my liner notes dilemma! David Barker and my sister are helping me out.)

Congratulations to Bill and Brenda Sutton on the birth of their grandson!

I got a message from Amazon yesterday saying that my copy of the new Harry Potter book has been shipped, woohoo!

I am working on the liner notes for our new CD and am finding it more difficult than I expected trying to edit them through ViaVoice. If you have an hour or but possibly two to spare later today today or tonight, I'd love to hear from you! In exchange, I could offer you fame and glory (er, or rather a listing in our liner notes :-) and a copy of the CD when it's available (and my undying gratitude, of course!).

Professional proofreading, editing or writing skills are NOT necessary, only accurate and quick typing skills and attention to detail, and reliable access to e-mail. I've discovered that our lyrics are lengthy enough that I need to replace some carriage returns with slashes to conserve space. We have 13 songs.

for example:
"Just another night alone with my cat and my laptop
Maybe we'll go out to a movie, or maybe not
Maybe I'll just stand on my head and then see
what the evening brings
As I wait for Lord of the Rings."

needs to be changed to:
"Just another night alone with my cat and my laptop / Maybe we'll go out to a movie, or maybe not / Maybe I'll just stand on my head and then see / what the evening brings / As I wait for Lord of the Rings."

If you are interested, please let me know through e-mail (remove spaces) as soon as possible. If I have not replied by 4:00 p.m., you can assume you are off the hook. I will try to respond sooner, but it will depend on how many people reply (if any!) and how easily I can reply to them. I will be out until around 2 pm. I will post at the beginning of this entry when I have someone.

Thank you! (as Debbie crosses her fingers)
