New Music Shirts!

More Long Sleeve T-Shirts. More Women's T-Shirts (also Women's Long Sleeve T-Shirts). More Dark T-Shirts. Still more color choices.

And, new color choices have been added to the Men's Dark T-Shirts (Navy, Khaki Green), Ash Grey has been added as an additional color choice to the Men's White Long Sleeve T-Shirts. The new Men's Long Sleeve T-Shirts come in either Black or Navy.

White Long Sleeve T-Shirts and Black T-Shirts now come in Women's sizes, with Women's Dark Long Sleeve T-Shirts coming in Black or Brown.

It's a lot to digest, even for me!

The new CafePress merchandise was added just last night. I've some examples of the new additions in the section linked to above, find more in the "NEW NEW NEW section" in "Sales & Features" on the Music Stuff & More storefront.

BTW, IMHO, the "gold" treble clef (and, surely, all the "gold" graphics...) look great on all the new colors. : D Check it out.

Watch for more and more of the music graphics to be added to the new merchandise. (I want to convert more music graphics for black/dark use as well.)

As lovers of music, 'We're brothers' - Los Angeles Times

As lovers of music, 'We're brothers' - Los Angeles Times

Great story. I've been following the "adventures" of Nathaniel the classical musician/homeless guy in Steve Lopez's columns for a long time. In today's column linked here, Lopez summarizes Nathaniel's story, writes about his future, and describes a meeting Nathaniel recently had with his once Julliard classmate (yes) Yo Yo Ma while they were all at Disney Hall. Yo Yo let Nathaniel play his cello, too. Apparently Lopez almost had to drag Nathaniel out of Disney Hall - he didn't want to leave. He was at home.

The title is about what Ma said about Nathaniel - how since both of them were such avid lovers of music they were like brothers.

All kinds of good violin and fiddle things - including featuring my music shirts. : )

Also find help with violin vitals, such as tuning. Also many other violin/fiddle resouces. And fiddle around with the fun stuff.

Music blog of interest, which has been kind enough to include this humble blog onto its Blogroll.

Worth visiting just the same for its extensive musical Blogroll and for its photos and descriptions of musical instruments (which are available for sale - note the live links).

Orchestras seek classical revival with downloads

Orchestras seek classical revival with downloads - Yahoo! News

Great idea! From the article linked above...

The first concerts released in the series will be the New York Philharmonic's February performances of Mozart's Symphonies 39, 40 and 41 conducted by Lorin Maazel, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic's March 24-26 performances of works by minimalists Part, Andriessen and Reich at Walt Disney Concert Hall.

They will be available at the end of March, priced at around $8 to $10 on Apple Computer's iTunes music store, with launches expected soon on services from RealNetworks Inc.'s Rhapsody and Napster.

Consumers will have the option of downloading a movement, a symphony or the entire concert, said Jonathan Gruber, Universal's vice president of new media for classics and jazz.

New Violin/Fiddle Black T-Shirts

The violin or fiddle graphic from an antique woodcut illustration found in Music Stuff & More is now in white on black T-shirts. As with my other black T-shirts it also comes in a Freakin' Big Graphic version and a Pocket version (graphic in the shirt's pocket area).

And this new black tee is also included in my February black T-shirt sale, so it is presently priced at only $19.99.

New - Cello Wear! & Wares

A full selection of CafePress merchandise featuring a cello graphic is now in the "Music Merchandise" section - Music Instrument Graphics.

Find short-sleeve shirts of many kinds, other warm-weather wear, cold-weather wear (school is coming), and cello items you do not wear, such as magnets, stickers, journals, pillows, mugs, bags...

Have fun, my string-ed musical friends!
