I am pleased to report that Michael’s crowdfunding campaign (see post on The Tramp) has successfully concluded. It has been a turbulent journey with wonderful support from myriad avenues, both known and new.

Thank you to all those who believe in Michael enough to pre-order books and CDs and to others who generously pledged support without reward. Congratulations to the new custodian of The Beast, the hand crafted cigar box guitar that will be heard on the CD.

If you are contemplating crowdfunding your next project you will need a very thick skin and be prepared to learn some lessons on friendship along the way. There are still many hours of work ahead for Michael and I wish him much success, he deserves it.
