Website development is underway: Notes
from the Web site: November
2007 The
board wishes to improve the resources of the HOTCMA by including information on
local recording studios within our area that members can contact for projects
without involving exorbitant costs. With new technologies available and the use
of computers, what took major recording studio equipment can now be done in a
person’s computer room. So, if you are aware of persons having small private
studios willing to record music perhaps not commercial, that would contribute to
saving the old-time music, please contact me or some member of the board with
the information and I will add it to our web-site list. Another area of interest
is square dancing classes. We are in the process of making a list of those who
teach either privately or in schools or at dances
the art of square dancing. You may know of some organization that holds
regular dances where novices are welcomed and have members willing to teach
others. Again by contacting us you could have their name added to the website
for our members as well as others to be able to get involved. I
have one more request from members. Could you please provide us with any sources
of old-time music that you are aware of that we can catalogue for the site? This
could be other websites, cd, albums, record stores or individuals. Any
information would be appreciated. I’d
also like to wish everyone all the best throughout the coming season and the
coming year. Dann

October
10th 2006 Over the past few months our website: http://www.hotcma.com/ has seen a number of
changes. These changes reflect the needs of the HOTCMA members in their efforts
to promote the historic musical culture of our region. At
present I have included Photographs taken at HOTCMA events, promotional
materials for these events, news of interest to our members, as well as upcoming
events in our communities not directly connected to HOTCMA but of interest to
our members. about events in their area as well as information about past activities with
contact information so that we can all participate and enjoy these events. The
website is another way that we can all get he word out as to what is happening.
We could
sell advertising space on the website and make it a lot flashier. I hesitate to
do this because its purpose is to give you information, not to sell you
something. My feeling is that our members are generally down to earth folks that
value substance over flash. Thanks Dann
