Blind Willie's Lighthouse Update! Drums, Drums, and Drums.

Update #2 · May 10, 2011 · comment

Hello friends and fellow hooligans,

I am thrilled so many of you have taken part in my Kickstarter campaign.  We are already over 50% of the way there, and only have $1300 to go.  This is beyond where I thought we would be to this point, and I am so very greatful, but I also realize the next 50% is going to be the hardest part to raise.  I could use any help I can posting about it on facebook, sending out emails, and letting friends know by word of mouth.  Remember, "Blind Willie's Lighthouse" gets nothing if we fail to reach $3000.

I'm also excited to tell everybody that the drums have been all recorded during a brilliant two all out days sessions in Gloucester.  Yes, I agree that Gloucester is the perfect town to record an album about the sea and lighthouses.  We finished off 8 songs, and I could not be happier with their sound.  I can honestly say that this will be the best work I have ever done.  I will start posting demos from the CD soon to show the progress.  Watch out for some electric guitar too.

Thanks again for your support.  I can not make this CD with out you.

blessings,

-Dan
