BE A PATRON OF THE ARTS!

HELP ME RAISE $8000 TO CREATE ALBUM #20!

Last year at this time I invited old friends and new to help me make album #19.  People were faithful and generous, and the album "All I Am" was very quickly born. Twelve songs that no one had ever heard, and audiences have responded wonderfully. 


IT'S SPRING. LET'S DO IT AGAIN AND RELEASE IN MID-SUMMER!

VENMO HERE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!

PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL AND SNAIL-MAIL ADDRESSES!


AS BEFORE, THERE ARE GIFTS OF GRATITUDE FROM THE ALBUM MAKER:

• People chipping in anything up to $60 will receive a CD for each $15 contributed.

• People chipping in between $61 and $299 will receive three CDs and, if within a day's driving distance, a house concert.

• People chipping in anything above $300 will receive ten CDs of their choice (from among "Spiritual," "Front Porch Hymns & Humns," "Mostly Harmless," "Roses And Hope," "All I Am," and the new one) and, if within two days' driving distance, a house concert.

Because we're in a hurry:

$6770 in so far.

Phase One got us halfway to $8000, so there's a new 30-day clock to watch for the remaining $4000. (If there were an additional $6000 instead of $4000, some outside musicians could get paid what they're actually worth, the cover would get professional attention, and the artist could pay some bills that get racked up during production.)

It will sound like this.

Two songs that are done, and demos of couple more.

The back may look like this:

...if what you dream up between 4:00 and 6:00AM can be trusted to look good ON the morning after (between midnight and 4:00 on that April 6 night I was dreaming up the songs)
