- What started off as a simple demo CD entitled "Fade Away" has grown and
- evolved into an enhanced multimedia project entitled Northwoods Nights, Issue #1.
- $1 from each CD sold will go directly toward the Akeley Public Park and Playground fund,
- to aid in building a park and playground for the youth of this small northwoods community.
- The CD contains enhanced features for those with a computer and some web-
- browsing software such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Netscape. Among these
- added features include: over 250 high-quality digital images capturing some of the
- beauty of our northwoods area, taken by local photographer Russell Bergstedt. Also,
- click-to-listen links for each song on the CD, my own celebrity impersonation skits, and
- other features, while still usable as a 'plain-old audio CD' in the car or stereo.
- The Northwoods Nights CD project is the first of a series of CD's I hope to produce,
- drawing from local talent and choosing other local park projects or other good causes
- for the $1 per CD charitable proceeds portion for each issue. In a perfect world, each year a
- new CD will be recorded, working with a new (local) musician or group and photographer, craftsperson or artist.
- The CD's are available at local outlets, the website www.northwoodsnights.com,
- and each of the retailers are listed on the site, along with other pertainant information,
- a local entertainment guide, and perhaps even some local advertising eventually.
- For those interested in a previous plan for the CD,
- Some songs made the cut, some didn't..
- (and some were added afterwards)
- and.. well, look for yourself..
