It's a CD opener!

October 17, 2006

Everyone who became a Folk Alley member in the recent fund drive should be getting their thank you gifts in the mail right about now. Part of your "fan kit" is a keychain with a CD opener attached. Slide a plastic-wrapped CD through the channel and a small blade magically slices through the packaging so that you can get to the CD. Once you've used it, you'll never jab at a CD with car keys, a ballpoint pen, your thumbnail, a paperclip or anything else that kinda looks sharp ever again. But don't run your finger through the channel - just trust me, it's slicey.

Ann,

Believe it or not, I knew what it was right away, and to me, it was a wonderful surprise. Not excluding the 4 great CD's, it made my contribution to Folk Alley even more worthwhile. But perhaps the greatest gift of all was that Folk Alley has met it's target for the drive and that means another year of precious and free Folk music. In the words of Yakov Smirnoff "What A Country"!

As a radio show host who receives a bunch of CDs each week this is a valuable gift. Thanks!

Ah HA! The mystery of 'what is this thing?' is solved! What a great idea... Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know what it was--and a great idea. Sally

Hey - just noticed that the Dec. pledge drive goal was met (and exceeded!) - Great news!
Time to lick that candy cane!
