      I'm glad I get to be a part of this. I admire people that do something about the dreams they have, but more so those who aren't afraid to go out on a limb and ask people to help them reach their goals after doing everything they can. You embody both those characteristics and to top it all off you have amazing talent. Have fun recording!

      Matthew, You have shared your amazing gift with all of us. Tracy and I were talking about the coffeehouse back in the "old" days and how much time and support you gave all of us there. Thank you for this chance to give back to you...we are so excited for you and consider it a privilege to do so. God bless you and yours!

      I loved your music before I knew your name. Once I saw you come across Noise Trade, that's when I connected the name to the voice. I feel so honored being able to help you out on your next big step! This is only my second time being a backer on Kickstarter, so that makes it even more special for me! Good luck and God bless!
