If you would rather not order directly from me,
Here are a few different ways to plug your credit card
into the internet and have my CDs
delivered to your door:
1 -- Elderly Instruments -- all of my cds available here [click here for details]
2 -- CDbaby (only my newest CDs are here) [click here for details]
3 -- efolkmusic.org [click here for details]
4 -- Waterbug [click here for details]
& -- iTunes, etc. My latest CDs are available either as complete albums or as singles through many popular download sites. Among them, Apple iTunes, Yahoo Music, Best Buy, Rhapsody, Napster, MSN Music and more. If you have a favorite download music site, browse for my name -- you might be surprised. More titles will be added with time.
[about Amazon: I do not sell through Amazon.com, but I notice they list a lot of my cds there. Some are at outlandish prices. Check with my site before you spend $30 for my CD through a third party retailer at Amazon.]
Ordering from Elderly Instruments
Elderly Instruments is a "brick & mortar" music store in Lansing,
MI
that stocks the world's finest array of stringed instruments and an incredible
selection of CDs, with many hard-to-find recordings
-- including all of mine. They have a great website and have been
doing mail order for years. Now with a quicker turn-around time and lower
shipping costs. I would recommend Elderly if you want to pick up other people's CDs
(imagine that!) at the same time as mine.

CDbaby is an online company that specializes in indy music. All sorts of styles can be found there, but no major label stuff. All my titles are not available there, but the very latest CDs are. I will be adding more titles in the future. At CDbaby, each CD title gets its own page, and the roster is gigantic. Easiest thing to do is log on there and search for "Joel Mabus" to find my stuff on consignment.
They accept payment by credit card, and will charge a shipping fee. They send the actual CD just like a store. But there is a download function there, where you can download an entire CD at a reasonable price. Again, you can shop for other artists while you are there. All reports I have heard about ordering from CDbaby have been good. They ship from Oregon, so west coast orders would be fairly quick, I imagine. And Oregon has no sales tax. To jump there click http://cdbaby.com/ and search for "joel mabus"
To find BANJO MONOLOGUES at CDBABY click this icon:
(CDbaby sells my CDs currently for $15, but that does not include shipping The total price will depend on the number of units ordered. Check it out at their website.)
Efolkmusic is undergoing a transformation. In December of 2007, a new business model was starting to roll out. I am not sure how it will unfold, but you should check them out for details.
[update for 2009 -- efolkmusic no longer sells physical cds, but they offer other services]

Waterbug Records is a record label started by my friend, Andrew Calhoun,
featuring mostly songwriters. As a website, waterbug.com is that and more.
Some of my CDs are on consignment there as well as many other folksingers and
singer-songwriters alongside the Waterbug label's roster. There are many
hard-to-find artists listed here, especially
some from the Midwest and imports from abroad. To go to their catalog, click
here: http://waterbug.com
(Waterbug sells my CDs currently for $15, but that does not include shipping or any possible tax. The total price will depend on the number of units ordered. Check it out at their website.)
