Oh For the Getting and Not Letting Go
Hello Everybody!
Happy Tuesday.
I come to you this evening with a victorious head and a heavy heart.
Our album “Oh For the Getting and Not Letting Go” is finally here.
Hence the feeling of victory,
It’s out and available on our store page in digital formats as well as CD and Vinyl. It’s for sale at a few other digital outlets as well. The usual suspects.
Head to the store to listen and purchase, if you’re so inclined. The entire album is there. To hear. For now.
We really hope that you enjoy it. We’re very proud of it.
This new album deals with a few ideas. But it speaks a lot to making sure that we make damn certain the people around us know we love them. And somehow, once again, that seems more important than ever.
Please enjoy the album. We hope you get as much out of it as we put in to it. There is a lot of joy in there. We hope that this message finds each of you well.
Very soon.
More.
XO
Jim

Hello Friends.
Unfortunately, along with our sense of pride and accomplishment with having released the album comes a sadness…
My friend Pablo Castelaz, an extraordinarily strong and charismatic little person of just six years old passed away on Saturday, following a thirteen month battle with cancer. He fought courageously, lived with a severe grace and left the world with more light than was here when he came in to it. If you’d like to know more about his journey, please check out: getwellpablo.blogspot.com/
To his eternal and magnificent glow.
Jim
Hi Everybody and to whomever this may concern:
Welcome to the brand new All Smiles web site.
We thank you for being here.
Pleasantly and currently gorgeous in Portland, OR.
And we hope with you too.
Lately, Patrick Stanton, Joe Plummer and myself, Jim Fairchild, have been poking around Portland and surrounding environs making visual accompaniments for our toons.
Patrick carries a camera, Joe carries a drum, and I hold a guitar, while belting out tunes in my best and most ramshackle outdoor voice.
We’ve been busking for trees, waterfalls, concrete and passersby, filming a video clip for the song “Our Final Roles as Birds” off our new album, “Oh For the Getting and Not Letting Go”.
We finished the album a while back. We, in this case being Solon Bixler, Mike Cresswell, Nik Freitas, Joe Plummer and I.
The video will be viewable in the coming weeks in hopefully obvious places.
And the album will be available here and at a number of fine record shops throughout the country starting on June 30th.
If you choose to buy it from us, you can select from vinyl, CD and various digital formats. The Physical editions are hand silk-screened and assembled by us and include an immediate download of the entire album on purchase.
Other bits, bonuses and celebrations will be available as well. And only here.
You’ll also be able to find it digitally at ITunes, Lala, E Music and Amazon starting then.
In the very immediate meantime, if you’d like a free…and quality…download of the song “Our Final Roles as Birds” please go check out the media page.
If you type in your e-mail, we’ll send you the song.
And keep you up to date on our goings on with the album, even more new recordings, and live dates.
No creeps will wind up with your details either, obviously. We hope that since you’ve read this far, we’d be immune to such appellations.
But still…..
Okay, much more information coming down the pike, and often.
We’ll keep you updated.
And we can all share what’s sure to be a glorious Summer. Together.
Soundtrack to be determined.
But we hope to be a part of it.
Until when…
And then…
All Smiles Jim
