    To Those Still Wanting to Pledge....

    Word has been trickling in that a number
    of folks had trouble pledging or missed the
    deadline altogether! I alerted Kickstarter
    to the former, and no worries, you can still
    support this project.

    So if that was you, or you know of someone,
    just send me a message by clicking the
    (Send Message) button under my name,
    and I will walk you through the process.

    All pledge levels are still available!

    Drew - You're welcome to still pledge for any of the backing levels listed. They are all available. I'm a bit new to Amazon, so I'd say the easiest way to pledge would be to send money through Paypal. My Paypal handle is: dcwatson19@hotmail.com. Go here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/ema/index-outside Once I see your pledge I'll be in contact!

    An Update From the West.

    I've been the past four days with my good friend,
    the wonderful Sean McKiernan in gorgeous Coillin,
    just outside of Carna in County Galway. The recordings
    from our time are among the most special I possess.
    I can't wait, down the road, to share with you all.
    Stay tuned!

    And...THANK YOU ALL for your investment!
    You enable me to carry on to completion.

    Also, for the $25 and $65 pledge range, I will be providing
    Regular Updates (if you want them!!).

    - Davis
