Hey Jake,
Glad you are actually going to sell really copies of the CD. I don't download music, so I couldn't support your original efforts. I will buy some CD's to give to friends. Shelby

Creator rusty turner on December 11, 2010
How did I find out about Jake? I saw and ad in OUT for a concert you were doing. I went to Amazon and listened to samples and fell in love with your voice and message. I have "Jake Walden Radio Station" on Pandora. You have lead me ot other artists.
I was going through cancer treatment and had trouble focusing. I found out music was the one thing I could listen to over and over. You didn't save my life but, you enhanced it. When Kickstarter sent out the first e-mail I knew I had to help back you. I had to support my community and help you. I did what I could to help you with your dream and get the opportunity to hear more of your passion and genius.
I feel very lucky that I can help to get you to more listeners. I feel lucky you are a role model for your generation. So, as much as as would like to feel I am help you out. You are the voice that can give me a place of peace, passion and make me feel. For that I thank you.

Creator Cheri on November 1, 2010
Dear dear Jake ~ Once again, my congratulations! The intensity and thrill of this project has been incredible and then to witness the magnitude of love and support that has been shown.... and to know that we are all here for the same reasons... to make dreams come true, to say thanks for all that you give through your music and through your passionate and hopeful quest to live your best life.... And now to look ahead to all that is to come..... for you... for all the dreamers.

Congrats buddy!
Creator Linda Barnette-Seaman on October 31, 2010
Hi Jake. When I made my pledge I also opted for the purchase of the digital recording of both albums @ $15. I believe somehow this was deleted or replaced by the straight monetary donation. Please charge my card for the additional $15. that I may receive these. Best of luck to you (love your music) Linda Barnette-Seaman
Creator Micci Waldinger on October 30, 2010
Oh my. I never anticipated when I woke up this morning that I would see this amount. I went to bed at just under $17,000 and look at where we are now. I don't have the words to say to all the dreamers who supported Jake. This is so amazing. Thank you one and all. I believe in my heart that he will produce a record that each and every one of the dreamers will be proud to be a part of. Jake has always said that hope is the most important. He had hope, we had faith and now a dream is no longer just that. As Jake would say - be you.

Creator Lisa Simpson on October 30, 2010
I am sure that everyone else will share the same warm fuzzy feeling I have after seeing that you have smashed your $20,000 goal. Dreamers together will support you now in getting your album out and promoting it like mad. I am sure you could even get some press coverage from your fantastic achievement! Much love X
Creator Karen Brown on October 30, 2010
Congratulations, you GOT it. Which is amazing, since this means we get to hear more (really got to find more superlatives) heartfelt, heart touching music from you. Wish I could have given more, but the quantity of people who believe in you and your music matters, I imagine, too.
Now hurry up and get that album made. *laugh* And see if you can stop by and play in Virgina Beach when you tour.
*hint hint*

Today, I got to meet Jake Walden. He is every bit as genuine and captivating as he seems in video and in song. His is a creative voice that MUST be heard! Help Him. If you have been thinking about backing but have not yet made the commitment - do it right now. Years from now when this record has become a part of the "New Amercian Song Book" you will look back in pride knowing that you played a part in making it happen.

I have never been involved in a project quite like this before, but very happy to support you, and all that you do. Sincere greetings from the UK
Creator Jake Walden on October 16, 2010
these comments for once leave me speechless. I couldn't be more thankful or excited....This album will no doubt be special not just for every word and note, but for the intention and dreams behind it. We are only about 8500 bucks from the next goal which will allow us to fully market and distribute this record along with touring to all the corners of the country (and world??) I have never touched. Today is a good day!!
Peace, be you, jake
Creator Bruce Kohl on October 16, 2010
Jake, Jake, Jake -- How you so fully and gently find yourself in your music encourages us all to do the same in our lives. Thank you for that. It's an honor to support your honesty and vision. May this support from all of us bring you the care and comfort to do what you do best -- be you. -b
Creator Diana Anderson on October 15, 2010
Thanks for giving me the chance to help out. "Alive and Screaming", has become part of the sound track to my world, and I can't wait to add this new album to it. I'm also very touched that you have opened yourself up to us and invited us in, it really shows how much the music, and and us your fans, mean to you. Take care and keep making my world a better place to be in:)
