Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on June 6, 2012.

5 more Togo Roads have surfaced

Update #8 · Nov 11, 2012 · 2 comments

Hi Marimba Suite #2 backers,

Yesterday I received 5 more copies of Togo Road from Jamie! This CD was part of the reward that many of you signed up for, but as you recall I hadn't received enough copies from Jamie to send one to everyone who'd been promised one, so many people didn't get one.

I think these are very likely the last extant copies on the planet. So, rather than pick and choose who gets them, why don't we just do it first come, first served. If you'd really like a copy, let me know, and I'll mail out the 5 I've got.

To everyone else, apologies. I don't know what else to do!

Thanks,

Dan

The CDs are here!

Hi backers all,

August 31; and the CDs arrived today!--after the usual to-be-expected unexpected glitches. They look, and sound, great.

September 1 is tomorrow; that's when I thought they'd be in your hands, not just in mine. But, I'll be able to put them in the mail 9am Tuesday.

Starting to pack them up, I see I don't have nearly enough copies of Jamie's CD, Togo Road. So those will arrive under separate cover for some of you. 

I also see that I still don't have some addresses, and some other questions, for some others. I'll get in touch with you individually about those things.

But, once again, thanks to you all. I do hope you enjoy the CD; and I'll look forward to getting your feedback. Feel free to reply to this message; but in the future probably the best way to reach me is at my usual email, danlevitan@mindspring.com.

Best,

Dan

I forgot to add--if you had a choice of rewards, please let me know which one you choose!

addresses, please; and a bonus!

Greetings, backers!

It's looking like the CDs will be ready sometime in mid-August, which means it's about time to gather everyone's preferred snail mail addresses so that we can mail out your rewards and have them to you by September 1. It's probably easiest for me (Dan) if you email me at danlevitan@mindspring.com; but you can also reply to this email, since I'll be back on the Kickstarter site on and off.

And, as it happens, I'm producing another CD which will be ready around the same time; an unpitched percussion quartet performed by the Queens College Percussion Ensemble. I'm going to add that to everybody's reward as bonus.

Thanks again--

Dan

To all you WONDERFUL backers:

One day shy of our deadline, and thanks to all of your generous support, we have met our funding goal! It's been quite an experience, watching from here as everyone has stepped up to the plate, and I can't begin to tell you how grateful Jamie and are to have had your backing. 

Now the ball is in our court--to finish off the CD, gather together the rewards, and get them in the mail to you! I do hope you'll like the CD; I think you will, and I have a feeling you'll soon be hearing marimba in a whole new way. Never having done a Kickstarter project before, I'm not exactly sure how it all works. I imagine that I'll be able to keep you updated on our progress through posts like this, and that there is some process in place at Kickstarter for collecting everyone's snail mail addresses. But that's for tomorrow; for today, I'm just going to celebrate! 

And extend again, to all of you, our heartfelt thanks--

Dan
