Terrifying Elf Invasion leads to Musical Treasure!

ARLINGTON, MA. In this sleepy township just outside Boston, a terrifying Elf Invasion last week led to the discovery of a box of priceless first edition CDs previously considered lost. The Elves (pictured above) appeared cute at first, but later led office personnel from this independent music firm on a wild goose elf chase into the creepy basement.

"I never like going to the basement," said artist's assistant Beatriz, "But when I do, I like to stay near the door."

Last week, however, she and electric harpist Deborah Henson-Conant ended up in Deep Basement Space. "Bea can be a bit balky about the basement," said Henson-Conant, "but once those elves were down there, I knew we had to ferret elf them out. There was clearly something they wanted -- and whatever it was, we wanted to get at it first."

"We'd just finished uploading our new 'Holiday Download Collection,'" said Beatriz. "I think it's possible that was what attracted them." Whatever it was, the two independent-music adventurers lost no time going after the elves, venturing deep into basement territory, past the unused treadmill and the home-for-aged-printers ("Where we did stop briefly" says Henson-Conant, "You know how the old printers are - they miss the days of paper jams.")

"In the end, it was all worth it," Beatriz beamed. "Look what we found!" In the furthest shelf of the basement, the two had stumbled onto a find beyond their wildest dreams! A pristine box of vintage FIRST EDITION "Alter Ego" CDs, each signed, dated and numbered!!

"They look almost exactly like the "AlterED Ego" CDs we sell now," said Bea, "but, look! They're missing the letters "ED" in the first word of the title!"

"That's because the commercial version was completely different than the limited FIRST Edition" agreed the intrepid harpist "and these are the last 18 in the whole wide world!!!!"

"You mean the last 18 that we have, right?" said Bea, "because some people bought them 14 years ago when they were released,." But the harpist was too excited to talk. All she said was, "They can read all about it on the new "DHC Limited Edition" page."

And the elves?

"Well, they seem to have disappeared for now," says Bea, "But I do keep hearing tiny sleigh-bells. "

"Probably tinitus" said the harpist. "I understand holiday harp music is good for that." Maybe the new Holiday Download music in the next section of this email will help...

Stay tuned for the next Adventures of Adventure-Harp and Beatriz!

"DHC Limited Editions"

Gift-o-Matic!

You know how hard it is to figure out what to buy for everyone? Well, worry no more! The Super Amazing Gift-o-Matic does your thinking for you!

The Gift-o-Matic appeared in our last newsletter and we got so many great emails about how helpful it was, that we gave it its own page on the website so you can visit it any time and get its sage assistance while you buy. Or you can just visit the page to enjoy a larger version of the picture at right, which Deborah's Facebook Fans helped her create last weekend.


Artist Takeover!!!

The essence of an artist's "direct-to-fan" performance is for an artist to approach EVERYTHING with the same performance values that they bring to the stage. So Deborah has taken over the online store for the holidays... and... yep... it's definitely getting more creative!

For one thing, we now have two different stores:
- One for immediate downloads, like our new "Download Collections"
- One for the real, tangible merchandise in our Catalog, with the our NEW "Limited Edition DHC" annex page with one-of-a-kind and some-of-a-kind limited CDs

Is it confusing? Umm.... well, no. I mean, yes. Well, not really. OK, sometimes. So if you get confused, just email us, tell us what you want to order and we'll figure out how to get it to you.

See you soon!

p.s. I wrote this whole thing so if it sounds like I'm talking about myself as if I'm someone else, I'm just pretending.
