Update #1 · May 31, 2012 · comment

A full week into my Kickstarter campaign, we're off to a great start thanks to the help and generosity of all of you wonderful backers.  Thank you all so very much!

My thanks also goes to those of you who've helped me spread the word.  Getting the word out to as many different people is an essential part of what will hopefully make my Kickstarter campaign a successful one.  So please, if you haven't already, take a moment to let your Facebook friends, Twitter followers, Blog readers, email lists, friends, and relatives (especially your wealthy, jazz-loving uncle) know about my fund-raising efforts.  Please use this link: http://kck.st/JGUrv0 or use the 'embed' or 'tweet' buttons below the video on my Kickstarter project home page.

We've raised nearly 40% of my $5,000 goal in just one week.  But let's hold off on any celebration for now--There's still a long way to go over the next 3 weeks. With all your help, I'm confident we can pull it off!

To put a smile on your face today, check out the video below of a very brief outtake from the Modern Inventions recording session featuring the fantastic drumming of Pete Van Nostrand and the infectious laughter of Alex Hoffman.

Thank you.  ~Frank
