About The Music Sig

HVT&C Music SIG Officially Established
This is to let you know that HVT&C's new Music SIG
has been officially sanctioned by the board and is
officially under way.

Our first project is to put together a compilation CD for distribution to visitors to Woodstock and worldwide. It is called "A Taste of Woodstock". Copies will be made available in local restaurants and gift stores, on our website, to music and film industry people , as well as through our website.

Michael Veitch came up with this idea last year and Grammy award winning Producer, Malcolm Cecil , made it happen.
We have Volume 1 and Volume 2, which have 18 local artists on each CD and lots of great, original music, will be out by end of December 2003.

We are now looking for submissions Volume 3. We welcome new SIG members and sponsors (a sponsor page for this website is currently "under construction") and value your contributions.
May peace prevail on earth,
Dan Schneider
Chair, HVTC (atlaw4you@aol.com)

A Note from Malcolm Cecil our SIG Chair:
The CD series is open to all who want to participate
- NO CENSORSHIP and NO SELECTION PROCESS.
Participants are invited to submit a FINISHED CD QUALITY TRACK up to 5 minutes long (on CD, DAT or cassette). Each participant will submit CONTACT INFORMATION and up to 200 words of promo material that will be put in the CD booklet. (Contact info & musician's credits are counted as part of the 200 words, as is copyright information). Each participant will sign a release form that confirms that they are the copyright owners of the submitted material and agree to its release in this CD and on our website, www.woodstocklive.com, in MP3 format.
Each participant for Volume 3 (and after) will contribute $ 300 and in return will receive 50 of the finished CDs for their own use. The money received will pay for professional pressing, packaging, mastering and artwork (for the CD label, booklet and tray card). Any money left over will go intothe Music SIG kitty for future projects.

We really want all professional help to be local (preferably Music SIG members) and if you are interested in providing these services please contact me- WE DON'T WANT PRO BONO WORK - this is a professional job and we want to have the same treatment as any other client - including riding your ass to get it done EXACTLY RIGHT and ON TIME!! I will be personally supervising this process and he's a very finicky guy when it comes to this kind of work - I feel we owe it to the participants to treat this project just like any other major project I've ever been involved with.

Michael Veitch has agreed to act as the recipient for the physical materials for all submissions. His mailing address is :
Michael Veitch
PO Box 33 West Hurley NY 12491 .
His e-mail is mveitch@aol.com Phone # (845) 679 1108
Checks should be made payable to "HVT&C". There is also sponsorship opportunities for local businesses
(see: Dan Schneider, Esq. at : atlaw4you@aol.com)
This should get our Music SIG off to a flying start. Let's get this show on the road!
Peace,
Malcolm Cecil (mcecil@hvc.rr.com)
