We did it! Well sort of lol 🙂 I thought $10,000 was a fair fundraising goal for my album but I needed to lower my expectations… and who says I’m a pessimist? I really thought 10K could be achieved – but none the less humbling and inspiring to know I have fans/patrons/family that supports me. […]

It’s Beautiful (*New Song)
