Nearly Really

“THANK YOU for supporting this new album. It could not have been done without your help. And while we are all in this together, a few of us – me, Steve James and the “Dream Team” – have actually been though The Best of Times – not one bad vibe in any of the recording sessions! NOT one single ONE! However, many of us have had to endure The Worst of Times – yes – the collapse of PledgeMusic.com and all the subsequent outrage and heartache. But we have got this far, and hopefully now there can be good times for all. These songs are meant to be shared – as music is meant to be shared. Thank you ALL!”
