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!
Years ago while in high school in Orange County, a shaggy-haired kid knocked on my door and said “Hey…your garage door was open and I noticed the drum set”. I immediately asked him if he wanted to but it – I was looking at another kit. He replied “Why are you SELLING it? Let’s Jam!” So that’s what we did! And man could that kid PLAY! It was the only time I played with Jason but I have followed him ever since. Many bands have come and gone but I always come back to Jason’s music – it is so simple and pure. Groovy Acoustical Soul – GAS music. His music perfectly described – and as I expected, the new album is a total GAS!
Thanks Alex! And thanks to everyone else who responded today. It’s a beautiful thing. The only downside today is that when I retitled this post “Halfway There” I got Bon Jovi stuck in my head. I’m sorry for any grief that may caused anyone else. 🙂 Very glad to be “there” now.
