Kickstarter

Thank you again, for bringing the Chadd Thomas CD project to fruition! It's been wonderful for his fans and friends to be able to hear his final recordings, and it has been a huge part of the healing process for the Thomas family!

I've just put together a new Kickstarter project, which I hope you will want to lend a helping hand with.... This one will fund the T-Shirts and Posters that will be accompnying a BIG Norton Records fundraiser show I've put together in Austin on March 8th. In short, I've known Billy & Miriam from Norton records for 20+ years, and aside from being such wonderful people/friends, their love and dedication to documenting and preserving some of the finest, obscure rock-n-roll artists and their music, is astounding. Most of their label inventory, as well as a ton of historical photos, letters and memorabilia were destroyed in the flooding aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. After 30+ years in the biz, no one who knows the true value of these folks' hard work wants to see Norton come to an end, especially not Billy & Miriam.

Please have a look at the project, and consider pledging to this worth cause:

Thanks again for making the Chadd project a reality, and for your consideration with this "For the love of Norton (Records)" project!

The campaign has ended, and we're 157% funded! Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who contributed to this project! I can't tell you how much I, and the Thomas family appreciate your help & caring about this! The CD packaging is complete, and at the printer, and the posters & promo cards are being distributed throughout Austin and South Texas, to promote the tribute show and CD. The additional funds will go a long way towards furthering Chadd's musical legacy, and getting these great final recordings out to an even wider audience. It's amazing what a little bit of money, and a whole lot of wonderful people who care enough to help can do for such a worthy, heartfelt mission! Again.... THANK YOU to each and every one of you! I will be contacting you shortly to get your mailing addresses, so that I can send you your pledge premium(s), and a special "Thank You". <3

Just under 48 hours in, and we're almost at our base goal! to everyone who's contributed so far.... I can't tell you how grateful the Thomas family and myself are! THANK YOU! This project is close to so many hearts, and the fact that we have this treasury of unreleased studio recordings from Chadd & the boys is just amazing!

Once the initial goal is met, we hope that the support & contributions keep coming in at such a nice rate, because.... Any additional funds will be essential in the wider release of Chadd's "Unfinished Business" CD, and therefor in furthering his musical legacy! 

There is also a possibility of releasing a vinyl 45 by Chadd (if additional funding allows)! Keep in mind that there are some awesome "Live" recordings in the can, which could also be released!

So again, THANK YOU, and keep "Sharing" this Kickstarter project on Facebook, Twitter, and Rockabilly boards everywhere!

Less than 24 hours into this project being online, and we're over 20% funded! It's a beautiful thing to see folks supporting this worthy project! We don't need a heck of a lot to make this happen, yet it will make a HUGE difference for the Thomas family AND for Chadd's musical legacy! So THANK YOU for the support, and PLEASE keep SHARING this page with your friends! <3
