		The 10 Months that were *a Tribute to Ha Ha Records*

	With Ha Ha Records shut down, slamming the doors for business, it must be remembered and not forgotten. For it was Ha Ha Records that formed the recordings and burning for Mat Productions. In its hey day, cd's were produced within a 2 day notice. Cd's were flying out, with the highest demand being a total of 10 people. The following is written by Mat (Mp) and it shows a view from the co worker or "side kick". Christmas Day 2001 The burner was installed at CM Riverwood (with CM forming on the 16th November). This day mostly saw "tester" sounds which were never put in the public light. A couple of days later the first sound cd was made. "The Adventures of Snuffy and Big Bird" which started the 10 month boom January 2002 Its a new year, and a couple of days after the fireworks settle, the first freddy cd was made. "The Freddy Show CD" and it was followed by "Snuffy and Big Bird STRIKE BACK CD". The first plans for Pelican Pensioners 5 were drawn up. Feburary 2002 Back to school, and what better way to release the anger by paying out the teachers. "Teachers at Their Best CD" was made, with 2 days production. The CD is still receiving its glory day, with a slow scheme to release orginal sounds to other students March 2002 Music enters CM Studios of the sound series. THE SOUL SIDE CD was made, and was the most demanded Cd yet. There was even a CD drought April 2002 The big one, THE LAST RUN cd's are in production, streaching a life span in production of 2 months. Teachers at their worst CD was made May 2002 Sliver Sky Cd is made! July 2002 This month saw old sounds repeating itself. The Vaults CD are made, repeating its use of old sounds. This year saw Mat Production have a major computer problem, with old sounds wiped out. Thankfully, most sounds were saved. August 2002 As it were CD was made, making number 4 for music.
