Mark Knopfler – Postcards from Paraguay

Mark Knopfler - Postcards from Paraguay

Berlin 10-09-2007

I found a video that illustrate the postcards. I hope this video can explain more our understanding about postcards

Folks, I got an email ask about postcards. Please, if you know better I hope you will help me to answer it.

What is the best way to print my own shipping labels for postcards?
I will be mailing out postcards to advertise my business. I would like to print the receipients address myself and stick the labels to the postcards.

    do you know how to play the piano in this song?

  3. Have you tried searching for the tourist bureau in KY, or any specific tourist sites? They will have postcards and can probably sell you some.

  4. Have you tried ebay? You will probably find a treasure trove there.

    1. If you have a coffee table, dining table, or desk you can have a piece of glass cut to fit. Put the postcards on the table (some upside down if they have good stamps and fun messages) randomly at different angles like they were just scattered there. Toss in some ticket stubs or other interesting flat things. Put the glass on top. Since you don't glue them down, you don't destroy the postcards. Change when you feel like it. It's fun to make a theme — a place, a country, plants, food, anything that makes the cards into a story.

    You can also put down a map or decorative paper that speaks of the region the postcards come from as a background. Fold the extra edges under and flatten down with the side of a pen if you don't want to cut the map and put the post cards on top of that.

    2. Get a large frame with glass and do the same thing for a wall picture.

    3. Get stretcher strips at an art store and build a big frame. On the back, string rows of wire tightly and staple down. Hang postcards from tiny binder clips as a sort of gallery. Also changeable according to your whim and doesn't destroy the cards. You can paint or cover the stretchers with ribbon, staple down a fabric backing, whatever you like to make it decorative.

    4. If you want to destroy the cards, you can get some decoupage glue and permanantly put them on furniture, suitcases, closet doors, any flat surface. But I like non-destructive ways as you can change the cards around.

    I work for a photography studio that uses http://www.zazzle.com as our main outside custom product manufacturer. They do a great job and have pretty affordable prices with a VERY wide variety of things that you can do.

    Just my 2 cents…

    I just bought a uke, I hope this helps. Soprano ukes are the most popular and have a very high pitch, concert are similar but are larger making it easier on your left hand (My personal favourite), tenor is larger still, and baritone is the same size as a half size childrens guitar and sounds a lot deeper, is is also the least popular. Both Tennor and baritone are tuned differently from the first two. The first two being tuned G-C-E-A and the second two being tuned D-G-B-E (Commonly).

  9. Heck no!
    I am 15 and I collect postcards as well.
    It's fun than collecting stamps!
    Don't think about what others collect, collect what you like!

    I am not sure there are many cheap items, but I hope I helped some.

    i tink if u get too big of a uke then u just bought a guitar

    This video has been very helpful! Thanks dude :D
    I am however having one problem! My G string is hardly audible over my C string, the C string is very bassy and seems to dominate the rest of the strings which makes this tune very difficult to play seing as most of the activity is on the G string! I’ve tuned my uke perfectly and even bought an electric audio tuner to double check it was right. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  13. V4zCeNt says:

    Haha, I just found a ukulele in my closet that apparently was a bday present to my mom like 40+ years ago. The C string has a bit of trouble staying in tune (unsurprisingly, the uke is 40 years old and beat to crap), but it actually sounds alright. I learned this easily too cause I’ve been playing guitar for years, thanks.

    First, as long as it's for your own personal use, you can also just print out postcards that you find online from all over the world. If you really want them to be as thick as postcards, you could print them on photo or brochure paper (to get the best color), then glue them onto cardstock and trim to postcard size.

    I'll do a Google "Image Search" for you to see what I can turn up. Actually, it would probably be better to do an image search for a particular state or country… Here are some examples:
    http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T5GGLL_en___US278&q=India+postcard
    http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T5GGLL_en___US278&q=postcard+Montana

    By the way, here a link to the page at Google which is for their "Image Search" so you can ask for any other state or country, etc., you want:
    http://images.google.com

    If you don't know how to "grab" photos from the internet, then print them out or save to print out later, basically just right-click your mouse on almost any image you see online, then select either Copy or Save.
    If you copy it, you can "paste" it into photoediting software or even into Word, then print it out.
    If you save it in your computer system, you can keep it and print it out any time you want.
    (You'd have to consult your own software for how to change the size of the image, etc, before printing.)

    HOWEVER, it also looks like there may be individuals and maybe even groups that like to exchange postcards for their collections too, like this one:
    http://gemsworldpostcards.blogspot.com/2007/12/first-postcard-from-velu.html
    You could ask that person how to get more postcards too, or you could look for more people who do that (check out these good links):

    HTH,

    Use Microsoft Word's label-making utility and Avery label #8160, with 30 labels on a sheet.
    You can also buy a mailing list with bar-coded labels from a local supplier. Look in the Yellow Pages under "Mailing Services"
    And don't forget to get a bulk rate, first class mailing permit from the US Post Office, which can save you at least 1.5 cents per card.

    i went to a site that showed me wer to put my fingers 4 chords on an uke and the chords u showed me are dif chords on the site

    You have two options here.

    1. Find a quality postcard printer, have the postcards produced at your own expense, then find yourself places to sell them online or in stores. More work for you, but the work stays your own.

    2. Submit your work to postcard publishers. Should they decide to carry your designs, they will cover the production and marketing costs, then pay you a percentage of the sales.
