      Helen, what happens if you don't reach your goal?

Update #1: One month left!

Posted on March 26, 2010

We had a great session at Piety Records and I have four cd's worth of material to pull from to make this record. I am so excited about this project - Tim and Doug and I are in a listening phase and editing material. I want to make the artwork on the CD really nice to match the mood of the music. It looks like the release will be for the fall of 2010.

Silk worms are on my mind as the weather turns to spring here in new orleans. I hope to see the full amount reached so if you know anyone who is interested in my music please let them know about the pledges and video on kickstarter!

Tim Green and Doug Garrison are fabulous musicians. Please check out their work too!

thanks for your interest in our music!
