      I'd like to comment on Paul's fantastic music, his integrity and generosity and encourage others to donate to this good cause. I met Paul in a Colorado bar almost 15 years ago while traveling to the US from New Zealand. He was a highlight of our journey and I know has touched thousands of people along the highways and bi ways of a musical career. He also gifted me to use his music on a travel video back then just to support what we were doing. Its easy to underestimate the soul searching journey and perseverance that makes a great artist, particularly where they take a road that isn't mainstream or motivated by money. I'm very happy to see that so many of you in the US recognize how special Paul is, as one of life's great characters and have supported his project. As they say World Famous in NZ. Go Kickstarter!

      I have been a fan of Paul's since the beginning, meaning a High School talent show at Mt.Iron High School when I was ...well that was a looooong time ago. Anyway Paul has always been one to speak his mind thru his music and I and many respect that greatly. Paul's perseverance in a world that is very hard on Artists who do that is amazing! Speaking of Cats Under the Stars...Cats with Nine lives Under the Stars would be more like it!
      I really wanted that Sealed Album but not right now, maybe we can work that out later lol!
      Paul is, like Dylan, like the Jayhawks, like Prince and a few others, Pure, Minnesota music, big enough to go outside into the world!

      I have been a fan of Mr. Paul Metsa from the first day I heard him sing Virgina. Maybe it is the smile, maybe the stories, maybe just that friendly nod of the head when you walk into the saloon and he is up on the stage making the day seem less painful, less a drudgery and more an adventure. I support this project whole heartedly and look forward to hearing more of the story which never ends. Thanks Paul. You rock. Chum
