Kenny's Newsletter

Lots to read and look at, so get to it! Lots of text. I have a lot to say today.

Listen, buy and download songs from my latest cd here.

Summer is here. Ayahhhh! I'm sitting in my office on the 3rd floor of my humble abode, somewhere in Lexington, MA. It's so %(@^&$@!& hot up here. I think I'm hallucinating. Keep Cool....

**** I need your help! I'm going to be moving over to a professional email host. I've been mailing all of these newsletters I send to you from my home email program. It's become unwieldy. With the pro system, I'll have better delivery (less rejections) and I'll be able to keep track of everything.

So, over the next few days/weeks/months I'll be doing this. You will receive an email from the new system asking you to confirm that you want to be on the list. Your choice, of course. You can't be on my list without you confirming/ agreeing to this - those are the new rules that I have to follow. I know I'll lose many of you - probably a huge amount of you. But 'dem are the breaks.

I'll be doing this over the summer. I'll be emailing you my newsletters to you until September and then on to the new system. If you realize, sometime in the fall, that you havn't been getting my stuff, you can go to my website and sign up if you desire (or write me). Otherwise it's been a good run and I'll miss seeing your name on my lists and remembering you. Now on to my gigs.....

CD review from The Austin Daze:

Kenny Selcer – Don’t Forget About Me: A total blend of folk, Americana and contemporary sounds. Using instruments as varied as the glockenspiel and lap percussion to the commonplace guitar and drums the production is unconventional and it’s sound reflects that. Selcer produces well-crafted songs with a variety of deliveries that makes the album an unexpected listening experience. (review web page)
