A digital download of the album (10-14 songs) sent to you on release date and two digital ringtones for your cell phone. Wouldn't you like to hear the hammered dulcimer ringing for you?
With this package you get to send us a small $5-$10 item that is related to something you love or the region you live in and we will link you up with another Fan, sending your gift on to them and sending their gift to you. Cool huh? Donna or one of the girls will also add a goodie from the Yoder house along with your 2 CDs and 2 ringtones. A one of a kind package! Free shipping.
Since we're talking about stories and songs, we've made a list of some of our favorite childhood storybooks. Pick one from the list below and we'll sign and send a used edition of one of these classics to you. Just for fun I'll video a bedtime reading with the kids and email it to you. (Donna thinks you all will enjoy hearing my interpretation of the badger in Redwall!) If there's a story from your childhood that you'd like to hear again, send us the title and we'll find a copy for you. 3 CDs and the ringtones are headed your way as well! Free shipping.
Here's a fun idea- Make your own package! If you have an idea of something you would love, send us a note and we'll create a package just for you. If the value you're thinking is different than this, just include that thought in your note. Think creative and outside the box... we look forward to hearing from ya!
Come to our living room some Thursday evening for a Fan Friday filming! Request the song of your choice and I'll create an arrangement of it that you can come watch me prepare for Fan Friday- live and in person! We'll provide pizza and some kind of yummy dessert and you can be in on the preparation of a special Fan Friday video. PLUS 5 CDs on release date and 2 ringtones! Free Shipping.
Come join us for brunch! I make a MEAN waffle, topped with strawberries and whipped cream! Come some Friday or Saturday morning for breakfast and a walk on our Farm. Imagine yourself eating bacon and sipping orange juice while we connect and share stories all morning long...Of course you get the 2 ringtones as well and when the CD releases we'll send you 5 copies. We'll also send you 5 videos of the songs while we are in the recording process so you get the inside scoop on the tracking, mixing and completion of the Stories and Songs CD! Free Shipping.
Be personally involved in the recording of one of your favorite Fan Friday songs! Sign on for this sweet deal and we'll send you inside looks at the production process of the song of your choice. You will receive emails with MP3 clips and videos of your sponsored song's development as we go. From digital downloads of Ted's rough tracks as they are sent to his producer, Gersh, in Nashville, to the final mixing stages, we'll be sending you sound bytes and videos of Ted in the studio. (Who knows, you just may get to see some real hammer throwing!) Don't have $700? Easy! Pool together a handful of friends and for $100 apiece you can make this happen. We'll send you the 2 ringtones and a generous bundle of 10 CDs so you have plenty to keep and even a few to give away. Your name will also be listed in the liner notes as a song sponsor. Free Shipping.
This package gives you a bundle! I will travel to you for a house show which you can hold in your home or at your church. (Within a 400 mile radius of northern IN.) We'll pack our favorite snacks to share- M&Ms, popcorn and pretzels for you and your guests. All you have to do is invite your friends! 2 digital ringtones, a handful of posters for you to advertise your special house show and a 10 pack of new CDs. Free Shipping.
This is one idea that Donna is super excited about! She is collecting fabric from Ted Heads all over the US and will piece together a one of a kind quilt to sell in this bundle to the first buyer. Watch the blog for photos of the quilt's development! This is going to be a beautiful work of art and a once in a lifetime opportunity to help us raise funds for the making of the Stories and Songs CD! We'll send you 2 new ringtones for your cell while the quilt is coming together and a 10 pack of CDs once your comfy quilt is finished. Free Shipping.
I don't know about your house but around here getting the mail is a highly sought after privelage. In order to curb arguments about whose turn it was to carry in those precious white envelopes, we set up a system last year that allows the older kids to each bring in the mail twice a week. Today being a Monday, it was Lindy's day to gather in the goods. Other than bills and weekly flyers we really don't get tons of interesting items around here. Imagine my surprise then when Lindy came in with not 1 interesting looking parcel, but THREE! Upon opening them we discovered that our first Fan Friday quilt contributions are already here! Thank you Robert, Scott and Janice, Paul and Heidi for the materials and for your kind notes! If some of the rest of you are interested in sending in something from your collection, please do! We want to see you represented in the Fan Friday quilt!
Musically the project is moving forward as well. Ted sent the first song out to Gersh last Monday and spent over an hour talking with him on the phone with him. Now that I think of it, I don't think their phone conversations are ever less than an hour, they have so much fun working together! This morning as I type Ted is now holed up in his practice corner preparing to send another song out today. :) I'm gonna go put my ear to the door and see what song he's working on...ooh sounds like "The Measure" and he has found some unique twists to add to it! This CD project is so fun! Thanks for joining us.
Thanks for taking a minute to watch our little introduction to the new project. We're reallly excited about the music you've helped us make and are glad you're with us as we take 2011's Fan Friday songs into the studio! Our goal is to raise $10,000-$12,000 so this new CD can be completed as soon as possible... we're ready to have a new CD for you! Please share this video freely with friends and spread the word about the upcoming new album!
Create your own package of goodies and support the making of the Fan Friday CD at the same time! If you have an idea of something you would love, send us a note and we'll create a package just for you. If the value you're thinking is different than this, just include that thought in your note. Think creative and outside the box... we look forward to hearing from ya!

In the early days if I could have chosen whatever I wanted from my favorite HD teachers, this package is what I would have asked for... I will drive to your house and spend a whole day coaching, teaching and arranging music with you. (I'm pretty sure just playing for fun will be in there too!)
