      Mike, I'm down to sing "Bread and Butter" on the album. It would be sick. Happy birthday!

      Do your thing, man. I hope everything works out and glad I could support you in your venture into the music business. Best of luck, bro. Don't forget where you came from!

      If he includes a few guest singers and incorporates the dancing in that video I think we could reach 8K easy by the deadline!

      Thanks Vince. You brought back memories of Michael and his brother, Chris, singing "I like bread and butter. I like toast and jam" in the back of my car on the way to the Berkshires more than 15 years ago. So how many of you will up your pledge if Michael does a cover of "Bread and Butter," not for the EP, but maybe as a download for those that up their pledge!

      Here's the original:

      I knew from the moment I first heard some of your work that you've got a bright future. A special thanks to your Uncle John for sharing the link that introduced me to your music. Thrilled to be a part of it.

      Went to the AT&T store because I had to get a new battery for my cell phone. While I waited for it to charge, I set every iPad, iPhone, and tablet PC in the store to play Michael's Kickstarter promo video.
