OUR LATEST CD:
MURIEL: THE LITTLE MOUSE WHO LIVED IN A PIANO
Muriel: The Little Mouse Who Lived In A Piano is a story that was originally told by Al Bachmann and his granddaughter Shawndel in 1986 on a cassette. On the 25th anniversary of its original release DJ Companion Records felt it was time to re-master the material, re-design the cover, and re-introduce it on cd to the world via the
internet as well as children's and classical music stores throughout the world. Muriel: The Little Mouse Who Lived In A Piano truly is a very entertaining story for children about the history of classical music.
When Muriel: The Little Mouse Who Lived In A Piano was originally released in 1986, Barbara Martindale of the Grand River Sachem wrote the following review:
"MURIEL'S MUSICAL ADVENTURES: ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL
I listened to an audio tape recording that was so enjoyable I had to play it again to get the full benefit.
A Children's Story called "Muriel And Her Musical Adventure" (note: it was earlier released with this title) is something music teachers would use. School teachers and parents who have aspirations for their children to learn more about good music and where it comes from will find it informative and educational.
Muriel And Her Musical Adventures is about a little mouse who lived in a piano. It's a fascinating 50 minutes of entertainment that introduces us to the world of classical music; the easy listening, wonderful, familiar kind of classics.
Produced right here in Caledonia, Muriel And Her Musical Adventures is the creation of well-known Caledonia musician and composer Al Bachmann. It's his voice, his piano, his piano performance, a few of his own compositions, his idea and it was produced professionally in his studio.
The voice of the mouse is that of Bachmann's 9 year old grand-daughter, Shawndel Bachmann; she is now 10. The story is portrayed in the farmhouse of a family of four where the mother and her two children are musical and all take lessons on the piano.
Muriel discovers the world of music through their playing and through the narrator, Al Bachmann who introduces the composers by telling a simple background story about each one of their 18th and 19th century lives. Czerny, Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Mendelsohn, Strauss, and Tchaikowsky are just a few who, through Bachmann's own piano interpretation , come alive.
His grandfatherly German accent is just perfect in the story telling of the famous European composers.
Bachmann came to Canada in 1956, has lived in Caledonia for most of those years and has entertained at clubs, fine dining places and functions all over Southern Ontario. He was a on a local FM Radio Station for more than four years, and he appeared on CHCH TV 11's The Best Is Yet To Come for two seasons. He has composed more than 170 of his own works which date back to 1948 when he still lived in Germany. He has recorded four LP records, five audio cassettes and one video
entitled appropriately "Grand River Reflections" which is a collection of his own original compositions.
Muriel And Her Musical Adventures is a beautiful story, beautiful music and it would delight you, your children, your grandchildren, your musical students or your school students."

To Whom It May Concern:
I have known AL BACHMANN for many years and was pleased to have AL perform regularly on CKLH-FM on his own show called "REVERIE" when we first launched the FM station.
Al has made me aware of an interesting new musical project called "THE MOUSE WHO LOVED MUSIC". What a fascinating way to entertain children while introducing them to the great world of classical music! I am hopeful Al will find a record label prepared to help him develop this production because it could be a lasting catalog item selling to children for many years and would no doubt be a welcome teaching aid in our schools.
Sincerely,
Nevin E. Grant

In the next few weeks and months I plan on very aggressively marketing this cd to children's stores, children's museums, schools of music (geared towards younger children), classical stores, classical radio stations and so forth.
I am interesting in hearing what you think of the cd. If you like it I would appreciate if you could go to http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/albachmann2 and post a quick review.
If you don't like it please forget what I just wrote. (lol).........Rob Savickis

Hey Abe Carrrick,
Hey Abe....Saw your email note of March 2009........I don't know if you remember me. I knew you were in the polka field, but I first met you when you were playing drums in the German HS dance band when there was another blonde haired drummer "Butch someone". I was sitting in the dance band as an eight grader student on the trumpet when Eddie Rozak was onr one the 4 great trumpet players they had in 69 or 70 was it?
My sister debbie kubica was dating eddie rozak, that's how I got my break playing with he and the sabatini's and rich kasmarzek in the Originals, then went on to play with the dominoes into the mid 70's.
I became an engineer and relocated to Wilmington, NC. That's where I am now.
drop a note if you read my message!
Eddie

DJ Companionrecords,
Since I listen to the WildWilson program on a regular basis quite frankly I was expecting a rehash of material I have already listened to. The truth is the CD is just the oposite of what I expected. Even though I remember some of the humor, the burlesque and vaudeville atmosphere you created on the CD made all the humor fresh and intertaining. And you somehow were able to capture all the best of Wildwilson. My litmus test of a CD is will I listen to it multiple times, and you passed my litmus test. I also want to compliment DJ Companionrecords on the physical quality of the CD, the multi page insert, the pictures, it is this going the extra mile that completes a superior product. I rate this CD at a Bill Crosby level.
