My latest update posted on GoFundMe:

WOW! This fundraiser just surpassed my $4,000 goal! I am so, so grateful and amazed. Thank you everyone, from the bottom of my heart. I just finished two eldercare services today [Friday, Aug 10] and as usual, I saw how much these songs and spiritual care mean to these dear people — so making this music widely available, SOON, is a dream come true. If there is anyone you know who needs these resources, let them know they’re on the way!

Nuts and bolts: Dave and I will be on vacation for the next 3 weeks. The 50 already recorded songs are with the sound engineer, who will be tweaking them according to my editing notes. When I return, I hope to set up some vocalists for a “gospels/spirituals” set … and polish off the last few songs on my wish list … AND possibly, given that the funds are there, set up a Christmas songs recording session!

It’s all blowing me away. Seeing this dream coming together is just … well, I have no words.

I can’t wait to let you know when they’re all finished. Thank you all.

Peace be with you,
