SSD Lesson Number
We recently added "SSD Lesson Number" to ChinookRecords.com website. This can be helpful for your beginner dance program. You can easily find choreography based on the highest SSD Lesson (1 thru 12) in the supplied or "called" figure. You can sort on SSD Lesson Number (or any other column) by simply clicking the column heading. You can search on any column by clicking "Advanced Search".
Multiple Figures for a Song
Some Chinook songs now include more than one called figure. When you select a Chinook song with multiple figures, you get all the vocals and all the cue sheets.
For example, CK-265 "Blue Skies" was released last year with a Mainstream figure. Today it has a new figure for SSD Lesson 5 and another new figure for SSD Lesson 6. Therefore "Blue Skies" has three listings in the catalog.
- CK-265 is Mainstream
- CK-265A is SSD-5
- CK-265B is SSD-6
No matter which figure you choose, you get the complete download package: instrumental, all vocals, and a big cue sheet with all the figures.
But Wait, There's More!
- If you bought any Chinook tune back when it had just one called figure
- ... and if it now has multiple figures
- ... and if you want the additional figures ....
Just drop us a line and we'll gladly send you the additional vocals and cue sheets, complimentary.
You probably wonder, "Why does Chinook Records do all this for little old me??". Simply put, we love it when your beginner dance program is successful. We especially love it when your beginners learn to dance to Chinook music. :)
The Mother of all Bargains
Wanna know where you can get the cheapest square dance music? The answer is probably "Chinook Records". The price has remained an ultra-low $6 for over 10 years. We could raise the price, but we don't.
You might wonder, "Why is Chinook music so inexpensive?" For starters, we own our recording studio and everything in it, and it's all paid for. We had successful real-world careers and thus we don't actually need to raise the price. But the main reason is that we want you to spend less on music (or perhaps spend the same but get more music).
Yes indeed, Chinook music is cheaper than most, because we want the same thing that you want. We want you to get more music for less money.
