WELCOME TO THE URTH Store,with some images from my CDs, my record company and original artwork of the URTH Virtual Ensemble. I've kept the greed factor involved with the markup price to a bare minimum to encourage your business. Hopefully, that little scheme will make everybody happy. Any product questions, please click on the picture of an item to explore it further. To get a closer look at any graphic, just click on an item and then "zoom in on picture". Click on the URTH Ensemble picture on the left to visit The URTHings Store, some interesting stuff there. I have another shop online at the raftman store Thanks for stopping by!A Brief History of The URTH Virtual Ensemble

The URTH Virtual Ensemble may be the finest group of untrained musicians that no one has ever seen assembled in a concert hall. Limited to the environment of the recording studio and bars with happy hour, these fun loving guys would get together and practice whenever they could coordinate their day job schedules and their kids' soccer practices and such. A few minutes before their historic first recording, this photo was taken on May 23, 1994. Bill Abambo, the 350 pound head of the Trombone section, had just slipped on some wet asphalt and bent his horn up when he landed on it. Some slight "nuances" were heard from the Trombone section on the recording, but Bill denies any responsibility for the clinkers (which were later covered up).
A guest violinist had been scheduled for the Coda Section of the piece, but she wanted way too much money. By some miracle on May 22, on a downtown corner, I found Dominic the Accordionist to replace her. I paid for all of his meals for the next two days and gave him a new pair of shoes I had in my closet and he was deliriously happy.
Standing next to Thomas Beepo, our retired park patrol viola player, there was what the scary lady down the street from me described as a "blessed surprise popup holy apparition." I don't know who she was, and nobody saw her around when the picture was taken.
Due to the poor condition and age of the photo, Walbert Starrkhausen, the timpanist (always in clown costume), is barely visible on the far left. The rest of the URTH Virtual Ensemble were only known by nicknames, and after I paid them in cash I never saw any of them again.Charlie Faege CDs are available at CD Baby.com
