Hi, everyone. I am just a couple days away from completing the record.

I am loving it, and hope all that all of you that donated will feel the same. I will be posting bits and pieces soon.

The record has been taking less time than I thought, as we recorded most of the tracks live, with not too much overdubbing -- including the vocals. I wanted it to sound more old school, before everything got so quantized and auto-tuned. It has been great fun.

Again, I want to thank all of you patrons of the arts. Now, I have to figure out a name for the record, get artwork, and... figure out how best to promote it. I am always up for your ideas and thoughts. They have been more helpful than from those in “the industry.”

Also, I am thinking of starting “Pinko Records.” So far, all I have is the name and a T-shirt design -- but that’s a good start, no? The idea is to create a place and platform for other artists to do the same thing that I did. Do any of you know of any unknown artist that you would like to champion? Do you guys want to be executives? I don’t know what that means, but you could have a cool business card.

But back to the mixing board.

For years I've been handing out business cards that say "Producer" on them. Of
course it was a bold-faced lie. Until now. I can't wait for the CD to come out.
And, I'm sure that next year I'll have a reason to watch the Grammy's.

You go girl!

Wow! Talk about waiting until the last minute! Glad to see you reached the goal so quickly! I can't wait for the new album. I think we may be changing the course of music. Down the with the labels! Up with the people! We've upped our standards! Now up...well, you know the rest.
