'SURGERY': new music and photography project

Hello friends!

 

Well folks, here it is, the brand-new music and photography project, SURGERY.

Eleven folk tunes and standards,

recorded last month at home in Montopolis, Texas during a rainstorm.  

 

As you may know, I recently had major surgery for a chronic medical condition.  

This project has been set up as a fundraiser, with proceeds going towards medical expenses.


The album was conceived in the weeks before surgery as a way to transcend fears

and the stress of chronic illness through music...and dangit, it worked!

I  am excited to be able to share it with you now.  

 

Please make a donation of any amount to the medical fund:

~~~~~~THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!~~~~~~~
