It was suggested recently… “Move to Phoenix..it’s beautiful here!!”

My reply was as follows…

"I’ve been there, and I agree, I saw the most beautiful lightning and thunder storm of my life there in the summer of 2006, but…

I am living in “The Live Music Capital of the World”, and sing Willie Nelson better than Willie, some have said, and I am getting ready to start turning loose the first of my music in January.

I have already mastered over 50 CD releases (79 CDS), and have 53 others already started, too…

So why would I want to leave Austin, … ?"

So far, I have recorded 863 covers… and yes, my middle name is William, a.k.a. ‘Willie’. Of those eight hundred fifty plus songs, more than one in seven (over 130) was recorded by Willie Nelson, himself.

This project will only be funded if at least $5,000 is pledged by Thursday Feb 2, 12:41am CST.

I have received my first pledge on this project today.

It's only a dollar, but a very wise old man told me years ago, "Despise not, small beginnings", so I will keep my ever hope-fuLL attitude, and encourage others to join in the support of my first CD project for release in 2012.

I need $5000 in pledges in the next 18 days, or the CD doesn't get funded, in this round.

I win, 'cuz I don't quit, has long been my motto.

Any amount will help.
