Contribute

Dear Cousins,

I have been able to produce big projects and continue to offer recordings due to the love of our fans and the music community. The gifted funds have covered the creation and distribution of 4 major album projects so far. 1) Chamber Blues Different Voices, 2) Chamber Blues More Different Voices, 3) Songs for Truth and Harmony, and 4) the magnum opus, Symphonic Blues No. 6, that has finally been manufactured.. These are community productions that I could not have funded myself. And “we” will always have more to do.

I’m also working on the album of works that I love but have never been released called; “Favorite Songs from the Cutting Room Floor.” This includes songs recorded in 1975, some songs recorded later, songs that were favorites like Linoleum, Skyscrapers, My Mind Has A Mind Of It’s Own, and new songs like Queen Ida.

I have decided to give away most of my digital catalogue for listing on this website. As I have been saying; “The music industry has gotten really good at giving away the artist’s works and I figured I could do it just as well.” Anyone who make a purchase on the site receives the catalogue.

However, purchasing hand-held products i.e. CD packages that I can sign and date and you can read, hold and hug are a good way to help support the work. For the most part, that is the only income I receive on my recorded works.

And for those inspired to help support my work in general, I keep this “Contribute” portal open.

Thank you for your kind consideration.

P.S. What now? Contributions did not cover graphic design or promotional costs, which were more than $2,000. And I would like to pay some bonuses to the other artists and producers. So I’m still accepting contributions for Symphonic Blues Nº6. Names won’t be included in this pressing of 100 CDS but may be included on the next pressing.
