Ah, tax day in America, the day that I used to proclaim as the "Get My Wife Back" day. She is a tax accountant and spends many overtime hours in rushing to meet the deadline for filing taxes. This is year was somehwat less stressful due to her switching jobs last fall and having far fewer responsibilities.

Anyway, an update on my GoFundMe campaign: I have not had as much success or as many donations as I would like to have thus far into the campaign, however, I am very grateful to those of my family and friends who have chosen to support my cause. I am raising funds to help toward the completion of what will be my first solo CD project. I have various orchestral, choral and jazz works that have been released on different compilation projects, however, this will be my first SOLO CD, which includes only my music. The CD will include up to ten of my small jazz ensemble pieces, mostly quintets and octets, as well as a reprisal release of the two big band pieces that were recorded in Havana, Cuba in November 2015. Those were released by PARMA Recordings on their newly minted label Ansonica as a part of the ABRAZO: THE HAVANA SESSIONS project. PARMA is also releasing my solo project, called A DAY IN THE PARK sometime later this year, however, it is contingent on being able to raise enough funds to complete the project. Unfortunately making a CD costs money, and sometimes we just need a little help to make it to the finish line. I hope that you will take time to read more about my project, and then chose to make a small donation to help see it through. You may learn more by clicking HERE.
