Enough chopping the onions!
Apparently, someone has been slicing onions in my kitchen, because my eyes are all watery and whatnot. (And the Bills haven't lost the Superbowl in forever, so I know that can't be it.)
I just couldn't go to bed without saying three things . . .
1. Thank you
2. You rock
3. We love you
We kind of expected people would rise up and fund the project. But we weren't sure people would catch the bigger point that every "pre-order" beyond the basic costs would also help us move boldly into the future, confident of your support in the difficult days ahead.
Well, you have reassured us . . . ten fold . . . or, actually ten thousand fold.
If you know of others who might want to also support this little band of two in getting this album out, please send along the video. Your own sentence or two of endorsement will make a big difference, I can assure you.
Again, we're not asking for a handout. But we are asking for a chance to be heard, because we think we still have something to say.
And what is that something, you might well ask? It's actually three things . . .
1. Thank you
2. You rock
3. We love you
George
