KWIN

FINALLY, 9 pm EST we are going to greet the ones who have been waiting around the world, with some of our music. We are starting off with Facebook Live. What a learning curve and pile of work. To start with I will be fronting our basic 3 piece. Bass, drums and myself on electric guitar. Deter and Dean will be here but the 5 piece is not quite ready yet so I made a decision because it has taken so long and another delay does not fit my stubborn nature. I would like to have the 5 piece ready but it just isn't and besides, I fronted a 3 piece for many years and it is easier. We will add our page on YouTube as soon as we can, maybe next week (not sure). When we do, if we can get enough YouTube subscribers it will generate some revenues which will help. I am very anxious now and will be, you know, practice, practice and practice without getting sore fingers. Love Ken and thanks for your patience.

Hi everyone. Things are very busy here. Lots of news and the latest is this. Yesterday morning a friend and bass player dropped by and officially joined KWIN so now we are five again. I have known Tom ( Mud) Arney for many years and played music with him many times. All five of us sing. Dean Carr is back. Dean is the singer on the two jam edits. He comes from just outside London England. Photos and announcements will soon be out. On the webcasting, web cams won't do because it is a big stage and deep so we are using new SONY video cameras. I am no good on tech stuff and have had to delegate all that. Our keyboard player, Dieter is also our tech guy and he tells me remote participation like the news shows use should work well. We are using new SONY video cameras with interfaces for video and sound, that's why it is webcasting not podcasting. I am told it will be 720 P at less than 10 MPS, broadcast quality. Live shows with other acts as well as KWIN. I am overdue on a news letter to subscribers and am tired and hate typing with one finger so will probably copy and paste some of this. Tom and all five of us will be here Friday, (tomorrow) for rehearsal. On the analogue recording our OTARI MX5050 8 track, it has been overhauled by Teletech in Toronto and they sell brand new tape (reels) which are only made in France these days. If anyone of you special fans needs the info, just message me. Hope you are all well. God bless, Ken

To All drummers and band leaders. I (Ken Wintle) have a sign company in Canada and wish to introduce a product to you. I have called it "Peel & Stick" sign vinyl for years. I have lettered many bass drum heads over the years with this product and I wish to offer this as a self serve product at a very reasonable cost. It is easy to apply and will identify your band professionally. the base price for lettering in 1 color will be $20 US to fit a bass drum up to 24 inches. The shipping cost, worldwide will be $5 US via Canada Post.....$3 US to the USA via Canada Post.....and $2 US within Canada via Canada Post. All shipping costs are very reasonable and include Packaging and link shipping quotes are based on the product in a 10 inch x 15 inch envelope, which can weigh up to 100 grams. The sample I brought to Canada post weighed 62 grams and was the basic lettering securely protected within a plastic bag inside the envelope. Extra charges for multi colors, digital output, over size or over weight will be calculated with an economical attitude. The quality of the lettering is high, being the same as the lettering I use on trucks and banners. The artwork required, if you provide it, needs to be vector format for lettering but I can type it in for you and email a proof. My email is kenkwin@link . Detailed instructions will be included with all orders. My feeling is 1 color on lettering is best so the base price would probably be the best way to go. Looking forward to serving all of you worldwide and have so far opened a new account with the Royal Bank of Canada for US currency and am still looking into more options for Payment. As it stands now I can accept payment in US currency using what they call wire payments, showing up in 2 to 5 business days or by my email in Canadian funds, which is almost immediate. (equivalency calculated daily). Ken (KWIN)
