Good Morning!

Update #2 · Sep 14, 2012 · comment
Good morning everybody!! I wanted to once again express my gratitude to all of you who have supported this project. Your generosity and support for my music and the hard working, New Orleans musicians who are performing on this record is truly inspiring. This entire project has thus far been funded strictly through word of mouth. No media, just you, my friends and fans who have helped spread the word. The funny thing is, media and my industry are starting to take notice of the success I am having. Nothing is finalized but there is interest for a national distribution deal for the album. That's great news, and it wouldn't have happened without your support!! So thank you so much! 

We are now 2/3rds of the way to my goal with a little under two weeks left. We are entering the stretch run, so I once again ask that you share the project with anyone and everyone who might dig what I do. I have 100% confidence that we will reach the goal and surpass expectations. Hurricane Isaac was a bump in the road, but just like my beloved hometown of New Orleans, we came back stronger. So let's get it to the finish line, folks!!! 

All of your support is appreciated, but I wanted to give an especially big shout out to all the people that I grew up with and went to high school with, many of whom I haven't seen in years. The overall support from the Mandeville community has been unexpected and quite humbling. You all hold a very special place in my heart. I'd also like to especially thank esteemed filmmaker Jesse Dylan- Bob Dylan's son- for tweeting the project. That was just way cool! 

I've attached a preview of the album cover, a beautiful painting by my friend John Bukaty, from my now legendary 40th birthday party. Hope y'all dig it!!! Everyone have a safe and fun filled weekend. I'll be back strong next week with some cool, little video of Westbank Mike and I jamming on "Biggest Little Shrimp In Town". Let's bring this baby home!!! I'm Grateful, Dave
