As I prepare for going passed 3 MILLION song plays... My Indiegogo project is live Well, I Did It. Help support "Lonesome In Virus Town, U.S.A. My Indiegogo project is live for the funds to finish production, pay advance royalties, and admin fees. Simplified Summary Lonesome In Viris Town, U.S.A.: A collection of songs I have "felt my way through" as the pandemic rolls on. This is my new means of supporting the releases to Professional status on CDBaby, where I now have about 240 releases in limbo, awaiting funding for final production. While I have labeled this a a single release project, I will use every penny possible towards getting the rest licensed and released, as funds allow. What We Need & What You Get Let me break it down for y'all: The initial plan was to generate enough funds to pay advanced royalties and some much simpler administrative fees to CDBaby. My hopes are greater. Physical CDs and a producer, those are dreams of what I deem to be an "ideal" outcome. While I am dedicating a couple of the songs to individuals... I am mainly dedicating this to all my fans and listeners on NumberOneMusic.com! I have been asked again and again where folks can purchase my music. Now that the CDBaby Digital Store has closed, that is no longer an option. I need funding to properly distribute through all the normal modern music outlets. The Impact To be honest, I don't just want this, I need it: If funded, this will be my first fully world-wide public release, other than "The Public Domain Project" that I pushed through to make sure I knew the process. I have moved my studio 8 times and morphed it and the sound as many times, but recording projects like this have become second nature to me since I started the "Sing Into My Can Network" broadcasts years ago. Also on CDBaby waiting. A little will mean a lot, and a little more can mean much more than you think if enough agree that this project "should be". The release will also include a special pandemic parody that I am hoping can go "viral"! Risks & Challenges I could die tomorrow... number one challenge. But to quote Willie, I woke up, not dead again today" That aside from that, for the moment... I am well know for stating, "I win, 'cuz I don't quit!" The entire project has already been recorded and mastered, so the only obstacle might be awaitng shipping on the physical CDs if we receive enough pledges at that Reward Level. Other Ways You Can Help Some people just can't contribute, but that doesn't mean they can't help: Please help to get the word out and make some noise about my campaign. Please use the Indiegogo share tools! Remember, if you help me with this project, I will create a very special reward level for each that follows, where earlier contributors get a rebate of some portion of the next donation on my projects. Ask yourself: if you wished to help me as a "credited" producer for residuals, would you like to make a larger contribution? Then again if the desire to support me as as artist is welling up in you, I will entertain engaging a full time producer, but with limited powers and responsibilities. https://igg.me/at/VSRdvkUSC7w/x/13521#/ If you read all the way to here, you are a champ!
