[Grant Dermody <gdermody@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Mick
Very kind of you! 
This is going to be an acoustic American roots recording; blues, old time, and some Cajun/creole/zydeco as well.
The Indiegogo fundraiser has ended.
If anyone still wants to contribute, please e-mail me and I'll fill you in.
Happy Solstice everyone!
Grant
