- Deb's first visit was in January of 2010.

As does the whole concept of CB Music, my friendship with Deb has its origins in RMMGA - the rec.music.makers.guitar.acoustic Usenet online group. Her first words on getting out of her car were "I love it!" Yes, it snowed. The gig was at CCLC on a Thursday night. Who would come out on such a night - a school night too? I'd talked the Chamber of Commerce into selling baked goods. Nobody's going to come... but they did!

Next day Deb performed for the kids at the Whiting School. That was a hoot, and I still have the "thank you" letter from the kids and teachers on my office wall. Maybe I'll scan it and add it here. 

More stories of Deb's many visits to come, but in the meantime I hope you'll visit her site and do some shopping!

Buy Music!

There are many places where you can purchase music, but the best place that helps the artist is when you purchase directly from them. One of the best messages that makes our day is when someone emails: "How can I buy your music?"

Buying My Music

CDs - Buy One, Get One!
https://debracowan.com/store/

For an unlimited time (in other words forever) I'll send you a free CD when you purchase any of the six titles that I have on the website. I have a lot of CDs that are looking for good homes and the only place where you can purchase my CDs is from me via my website or getting in touch with me. You may see my CDs on other websites and if you do, please know that these are being sold without my permission and I don''t get compensated at all. If you are uncomfortable with online transactions, I'll gladly take a check or take a credit card number over the phone. The bonus with the latter is that we get to have a conversation!

Digital Downloads - Bandcamp

https://debracowan.bandcamp.com/

All of my digital downloads are now being offered through Bandcamp. I have been with them for over 12 years now and I love their business model. Below is one of the many reasons:

This Friday (that's tomorrow!) Bandcamp will forgo its share of sales for a 24-hour period that will last from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. PST time. The initiative will also repeat on June 5 and July 3, and will last from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. PST time on all three days.

Another reason I love Bandcamp is that I am able to post individual tracks and make them available for free or with a pay-what-you can model. Take a look at what I've got over there. perhaps there is something you haven't heard yet!

Deb! What Ya Gonna Do With All the Money That Pours In?

All proceeds from all sales are going to help my Union's Emergency Relief Fund and will also help to pay an amount that I would normally pay to help keep the Local running. The latter is called work dues and with every performance, 2.5% of my earnings goes to the Union. Since there are no performances scheduled for the foreseeable future, I see this as as something that I can do to help this organization that I care deeply about.

You can donate to the ERF as well. Go to
