    We Made It!!!

    Hello Everyone -

    wow - we made it!
    Thanks to your efforts and support we have reached 103% with 50 some hours to go. I can't thank you enough. I am so excited about this project - today I called the studio to book time, called my rep at the CD duplicator to tell them to expect the project - now into the studio to write, write, write.

    I have been a member of the KickStarter website for a long time, but waited to post a project until the time felt right. I had a number of ideas for projects, but I kept thinking to myself, what if. What if I could book an outside studio? What if I could hire musicians to come and play? What if I could have it professionally mixed and mastered? So I put together a budget and shot for the moon. I never imagined that I would reach my goal - I was sure it was too much to ask of my network. But thanks you, we made it.

    So what happens now? Well, we have just over 50 hours left to continue to fundraise. The more we raise, the more studio time I can use - or I can buy extra pizza for the band. But everything we raise will go to make the project as great as possible. So please continue to pass the links around and ask people to contribute. Use it as your facebook status, twitter and where ever else you can post it. Let's see how high we can go.

    Kayle.

        Congratulations, Kayle! My best wishes to you for a successful journey with your new album. You've come a long way since you played "Kayle's Song" during Hile School Elementary music class! I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I cannot wait to hear what you have to offer the world of music. Best wishes always, ~Laurie

    5 Days Remain!

    As we enter the final 5 days of my KickStarter campaign I'd like to first say thank you to every single person who has pre-ordered the album with a pledge. Thank you for contributing, reposting the link to your friends and family, upping your pledges throughout the project, and for simply believing in me. It is because of you I am so close to reaching my goal of $5,567, so THANK YOU (again and again and again!). It is now time to kick it into overdrive and hopefully finish this thing with a bang.

    Please keep making the extra effort over these 5 days to forward my emails, continuously repost the project link and spread the word to anyone and everyone. Update your facebook status with the link, post on twitter and myspace, etc.... Let them know they aren't just contributing to the album, but they are actually getting the album in exchange for their contribution. Repetition is the key! So, for the next 5 days please put my link everywhere you can! You have contributed 82% of the goal - and with your continued support, I know we can make it.

    Again - thank you so much!
    Kayle
