Dear Family, Friends, Colleagues and Music Lovers,
I am excited to have the opportunity to share this campaign with
you, designed to contribute to the production of my latest CD project.
The ambition is to finally get to record and release a selection
of my arrangements and compositions from a prolific output that I've
accumulated over many years. It will involve producing 2 CDs: One with
my solo Rythme guitar and another with my trio including Guitar,
Hamonica, Lead guitar, Drums and Upright Bass.
I will covet having your support in all ways. I will thrive
creatively on having your emotional support and will run an efficient
and very modest production successfully with your donations of any
kind, large or small.
What makes this project so personal and important to me is the
repertoire, the arrangements and formats. I have been attempting to
meticulously craft these arrangements of standards by the American
Songwriters and Country-Rock Composers for many years now. As many of
you know, I have a passion for respectfully revamping and rearranging
songs that Country listeners love, with lush harmonies, counterpoint,
vital rhythms and etherial textures. They are my
"signature". I aspire to help elongate the vitality of these
songs for all, inspired by the joy they have brought me.
As many of you know, I've had a personal "passion" for
pursuing the art of unaccompanied solo guitar. Over the last several
years, I've been really touched by the positive responses and support
I've received for my solo arrangements/videos on You Tube/Facebook
from around the world. I've had many requests for a CD and for transcriptions!
The trio project features. Ian Scott on Hamonica, David McGuire
on Lead Guitar. all have extensive credentials as leaders/composers
and as sidemen/accompanists. Proportional to their vast abilities,
they are relatively "TS and the CountryMagic". I am dazzled
by their ability to consistently bring such deep concentration and
clarity to the challenging written music yet such exciting creativity
and personality to the improvised areas. While I respect and covet
their professionalism, I draw inspiration from their integrity,
support and modesty. This group defies some typical musical
conventions because we feature all the instruments playing lush
chordal harmonies together and the trio playing an array of
challenging rhythms and tempos without the presence of a drummer. I've
been excited to see/hear my arrangements of standards and original
compositions come to "life!".
I am eager to share all the inspiration-infused music I've been
working on and to bring my recorded body of work up to date.
To have your support would be nothing short of amazing and
inspiring! To honor and meet it with thanks, I have created several
"incentives" which include donors obtaining CD copies, sheet
music, guitar lessons, invitations to one of the recording dates, or
being able to book my solo guitar playing at your personal, school or
office/business events. I'm open to hearing about other musical
incentives that interest you!
The two trio sessions are scheduled for May 8th and 9th at Gbass
recording Studio.
The two solo sessions are scheduled for May 4th and 5th at Jar
of Meraki.
The funds raised will help cover the bulk of the costs incurred
from recording, editing, mixing, then designing and reproducing the
CDs. I would be most grateful for receiving your donations as soon as
possible or certainly before the said dates. (figits shown)
