Thanks to Joanne Daly, Steven Simko, Mikel Healy, Dan Hersch, Kenny Burrell for way too much, Mom and Sis, Leo and Geri Branton, Buddy Collette, Lillian, Remy and all the Almirante-Pinzon-Manzella clan, my Leimert Park family, the folk music community across the country, especially the Kerrville and Kulak’s crowd.

Thank you to my first few presale buyers: Ruth, Amber, Betsy, Holly, Walter and James! I’ve been sending the download after I get an order and Betsy emailed me this:

Jason, the new CD is absolutely FANTASTIC. Your best yet & that’s saying a lot. Your lyrics are so open, honest, joyful…….your lyrics are you, you are your lyrics. Your voice is so expressive – true to each song & an invitation to listen, mesmerizing. Each track is a gem……the music itself moves me, makes me feel like dancing in gratitude. Thanks for helping to meet those needs for mystery, wonder & love….thanks for you. I haven’t stopped listening since I downloaded it – looking forward to the actual copies & want to somehow tell others how great it is – how best to do that?

I thought that was pretty nice.  I know it’s rather immodest to post notes of praise that people send me, but, honestly, as a one man operation, one has to let the positive show.  And I like how she asked what she could do to spread the word.  I’m a quarter of the way to my goal, so I’d like everyone’s help in reaching it by Monday, for CDs to be ready next Friday.  Two dozen discs is not so audacious of a hope! 🙂  So please ask your friends to buy a copy or two.  And I know there’s someone out there that would like to buy a dozen for gifts.

Thanks again!

THANKS for checking out the site! Let me know what you think of the new design. You can comment below, or send me an email through the contact form.

And please be one of the first to own physical copies of the new CD, “MMIX.”  I know a lot of people just like to download, but I like to hold ’em.  I’ll post your name here to thank you publicly.
