Folk/Rock in the tradition of Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span and the Byrds. Performed before an invited audience, this is a joyful recording that celebrates both Cheryl Cloud's memory and the exciting future for the group and their families. It includes some favorite tracks as well as quite a bit of new material from Cheryl, Marcy & Mark, new member Jamie Barnett and that elusive, yet ubiquitous fellow, Trad. Arr. This recording also features new member Karen Ambellan (Vocals) and sees the glad return of original member Bill Carrigan (Bass, Vocals). Expanding the line up has allowed the group to return to the folk/rock roots that brought them together in the first place.
Mark and Marcy would like thank Kari Cloud and Brian Hogan who helped immeasurably to make this project happen.
About the Artist
To explore the origins of Common Ground, we must travel back through the murky depths of time to the mid/late 1970s. This was a period in American entertainment when Disco was in full swing; Power Pop and Punk were just begining to raise their ear pierced heads; and the one thing everyone could agree on was that acoustic oriented music was deader than a three day old bucket of red wigglers. So, with a cheerful, if somewhat reckless disregard for any commercial consideration whatsoever, Mark & Cheryl Cloud decided this would be a perfect time to form a folk/rock group, mostly as a vehicle for Cheryl's songs
After a couple of false starts, they recruited Scott Van Dusen, Marcy Hogan and Bill Carrigan into the experiment (all of whom are still with the band today). They began a 20 year career that spanned heretofore unheard of pinnacles of complete and utter indifference on the part of the music biz establishment; a proud record that continues to this day. With audiences it has been a very different matter: their enthusiastic and encouraging responses are unabated in 1998 and are, in fact, what keep these guys going. Well, that and their friendship and love of playing together.
Sadly, Cheryl Cloud passed away in 1995. But she left behind a legacy of love and music that will be with the band always. Before she left, Cheryl asked the other members of Common Ground to keep her songs alive for her (she left behind hundreds); they have been happily doing so ever since through additional CD releases and performances.

For CD Player
WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
