Hey Hey! It's my birthday! I turn 42 this year, which is a huge milestone because my dad always told me as a teenager that I could date and I could drive when I turned 42. Well, I've already done those two things, so the next big thing is to release a faith-based album, entitled "Gratitude & Grace." This album will be full of songs I've written about faith, some hymn covers, and songs about gratitude for all the blessings in life.

It's always awkward asking for money, but I can't do this one on my own. So I'm calling on my friends, family, and support network to contribute just a little bit to help cover the costs of recording the album. There will be 12-15 songs, and the songs cost around $300-$350 each to record. My goal is $3600. I hope to begin recording in April, so this crowdfund will last a month, starting today - on my birthday!
