It's Time to Wrap this CD!

As it's become increasingly more difficult for jazz musicians to support ourselves as the artists we are, we've seen a lot of requests for outside sustenance.  Well, my time has come!  Scraping by hasn't afforded me the opportunity to complete a decade-long project that has been my dream for a half century.  

I'm humbly requesting, to those who have enjoyed our music and been such amazing friends, to please give what you can so that we may present to you the fruits of our efforts.

If the goal is reached I will be able to:
~ pay the artist who creates the cover art
~ pay the digital and mechanical rights to the songs that aren't original
~ replicate and package the CD in an amount that allows us to distribute for publicity and enough for sales
~ complete a press kit
~ and if there's anything at all remaining, pay the band members and venue for the greatest release party of all time

The time is fast approaching for me to give it my all, with your help, or surrender my dream.  All participants will recieve not only my sincere gratitude, but invitations to the main event and a copy of the CD autographed by the artists present.

John Chiodini and I wrote 7 out of the 12 songs on the CD and the musicians playing include:  John Chiodini, Jim Hughart, Abe Laboriel, Luis Conte, Kenny Wild, Kendall Kay, Sam Riney, Ed Vodicka, Bob Leatherbarrow, and Enzo Todesco. 

The music is complete, the critics have spoken (quite kindly) and the rest is up to you.  My heart and soul are in this CD and I'll give them to you if you let me.
