Update #10: In a Mystery ("Train Song") being mixed
The first single, In a Mystery ("Train Song"), is now in the hands of my mixing/mastering engineer. It'll be a few more weeks, but I hope to release the song this month.
I'm also starting to work on the artwork.
I want to thank you again for your support and I'm looking forward to publishing this song.
Talk to you soon.

I'm on day 3 of what will be a 30-45 day recording process, to be followed by mixing, mastering, and duplication.
I'm working on the first song ("Travelogue") right now. I have a few guitar parts laid down.
Margie will soon be working on cover art.
Update #6: Thank you!
Thank you for backing this project and helping to make my funding goal successful!
From now throughout March, I will be focusing my efforts on recording the EP. I plan to do four songs.
This morning I laid down some guitar tracks for 'Travelogue'.
I'm really excited about the new sounds I'm getting from the new wiring configuration in my Telecaster. It's really a lot of fun. I can't wait to share the sounds with you.
Thanks again for your gracious support! I'll keep you up to date as things move along.

Update #5: Hooray!! We're at 100%.
Thanks to you for helping me reach my goal!
Together, we've raised 100% of the money needed to record the EP. There are still 16 days left of fundraising, so there's an opportunity to raise even more, but at the very least the goal is met and the project will move forward.
This is very exciting for me and I'm so grateful for your support.
I'm looking forward to recording. I hope you feel the love in it because it'll be filled with my gratitude. :)
Thanks. I'll keep you posted as things move along.
