good stuff John!
i'l echo the thanks, its an honour to be on there with talented songwriters! hope this does well for the charity!

I wonder if Tone could make this a sticky, so that non-regulars can find it, as well as newcomers. It'll show them what we're all about :)

Thanks Clive Cherry!!!!
and Habitat!
I downloaded the cd (thanks!), and then wanted to make a donation, but it seems very difficult (i really didn't manage to get it done) to make a donation from outside the UK...you have to give a billing address if you pay by creditcard, but all the options you can click are parts of the UK???
i have no experience with the texting option, but i also wonder in that case if someone from outside the UK can do that????

Have you tried doing it by PayPal? if you have that set up..
On their donation page there is a log in box for paypal.. (this link might work.. ???)

Hope you get it sorted :)

You've done a great job Hab.. I've already posted the link to this website on Facebook.
Thanks for your effort and ideas behind this.
It's nice that amateur songwriters are able to support these types of charities. I look forward to supporting the next one........

Hi Hab..A BIG thank you from me. You've done an amazing job here, and are a 'well deserved' winner. This was my first 'on line' competition and collaboration, and it's been the most satisfying project I've been involved in for a long time ;D..I'm really impressed with the way everybody has helped and encouraged each other to produce such a wonderful album. It's more than just a collection of good, original songs....it's a beautiful sculpture of 'artistic energy' ;D which is reflective of the character of this forum.....who knows what could be achieved here if we put our minds to it.....bring on the 'Concept Album' ;D ;D Let's change the world ;D ;D....Anyway, it's been a real pleasure to be part of this, with all you lovely, talented and helpful people....thanks a million....love you all (especially flossie and tinam :-*)
-
Aww thanks everyone, I've really enjoyed it. I totally agree with Bin, it's a pleasure to be here. I like the concept album idea, we could do our own version of War of the Worlds! :D
I've been monitoring the activity on the Bandcamp page, it's quite impressive for only one day, although I do suspect most of it is just us lot listening for now :) Remember guys, stick it on your Facebook, Twitter etc.. send links to your friends and family, get people sharing it. We need to keep up momentum, get new people listening, reading the banner at the top and donating. It's also a great way to increase your fanbase. I have no way of monitoring donations so this is our only indication of activity, until I get feedback from BADAW.
Pawprint Album stats after day 1..

nice stats!
-
Great work, all of you! :)
I've posted it on my Twitter yesterday.
Might get to putting it on Facebook later, but that's a big step for me, since nearly no one of my friends knows I'm songwriting. And for me FB is more personnal than my Twitter :p

I'm sitting here after a manic day, chilling out, listening to my CD of Pawprint Challenge.
Guys, this is seriously good and sounds great on CD through a stereo.
Remember to keep telling people, Facebooking etc..
I might make some copies and give them as Christmas presents..
(no coaster jokes please :D)
I'll be posting stats updates for the bandcamp site every now and then. Traffic has tailed off quite a bit so keep on telling people :(

Yaaaay! ;D ;D
Thanks Tone :)

Still only half way through, but it's damn good. Very impressed with your work everyone. Feeling quite proud and very touched that you chose such a worthy cause for your music.
LOVE YOU GUYS!!! :D
-
Well done all. Sterling work. :) Congrats Hab, a worthy lead song. :)
Haven't had a minute to myself lately but finally relocated to the South Coast and out of London and will be downloading the album to listen to in the car.
Will get the link up on my Face-book page soon. ;)
Right ...... back to decorating... ::)
-
I am absolutely speechless and so so so touched. It's nothing short of beautiful in the most amazing way possible that you guys have done this. Hab, you're a legend for setting it all up, and you're all legends for creating this for the dogs!
Get ready for the stats to go through the roof! I'm about to post the link to all the supporters both for my rescue, and the original song for dogs project. Tone will add the entire album to the original website and amend it so it's the album for dogs as soon as he can :) I don't know what to say! But I'm desperate to listen to it all, just wanted to say thank you now!
Cathy xxxx <3

Aww thanks guys:)
Let's hope it makes people donate.
There was a nice little spike in the stats overnight so it seems to be working, let's hope they all click 'share' and keep spreading the word. The album has currently been downloaded 13 times, hopefully some of those were accompanied by a donation..
I'll post the 1st week stats over the weekend.
Cheers

Hey up song sculptors!
Remember the Pawprint Challenge? Well it's back, and this time it's personal.
As an extension of my own song for dogs project, the Pawprint album is now the album for death row dogs.
You can check out the new website here http://www.songfordogs.org.uk/ - please feel free to donate and download for a very worthy cause.
Pawprint Artists! You may notice that your profiles have yet to be added to the site. That's because I have only received about 3... GET BUSY, YO ;)

EXCELLENT WORK TONE & CATHY!!!
Let's hope everyone's hard work can really help raise some cash and save the dogs..
I've posted the link on Facebook, I urge everyone else to do the same.
And forum newbies, check it out guys, there are some awesome tracks on there from a lot of regulars, Nooms/Paul's 'My Own Bowl' is my current favourite..

Thanks Hab - the website was a pretty major update as you can see if you remember the old one.
Please do all post the links on your facebook, twitter, or whatever social platforms you use. All the funds raised go directly to helping save dogs on death row.
Because we only support grass-roots organisations, pretty much every penny goes towards either transporting, kennelling, feeding, or veterinary care for a dog. Admin costs are negligable, unlike with some of the larger, more corporate charities.
Here's the link again, we really appreciate your support http://songfordogs.org.uk

Morning guys :)
Donations via downloads of the album are coming in for the chosen rescues, but like all these kind of things, it's a trickle of donations....great to have some but the rescues need all the help they can get!
If everyone could share the website http://www.songfordogs.org.uk wherever you can think of, and join the facebook page which is here: https://www.facebook.com/YouCouldSaveMeTheCharityAlbumForDeathRowDogs it would be good to have you there. We've had some lovely feedback on the songs - well done everyone and thanks so much for your kindness :)
