Jazz Standard Album

1) This guy Mark, a funder for BaD Dog Buffet, comes up to me at a show a week ago and says, "I'm ready to donate to your Jazz Standards CD Fund". I says to him, "But, but...I'm just musing as to when, what..." He says "Whatever, just let me know". So I ask him the big question that I bet a lot of us indie artists just die to ask, but feel it's weird, however you must remember this is Vance asking this, so I ax him:
"Why?".   
Mark replies, "Because we want to be a part of it"

2) Dan, another major funder for the last album, comes for our weekly coaching lesson with a check for the session and a second check "for the Jazz Standards Album". After thanking him profusely for the fresh eggs (he's also a farmer), I reply that I'm not quite ready to record. He shrugs and says "Whenever". I tell him about my chat with Mark above at #1. He just nods.
 
3) My close friend's son after I sang at his grandfather's funeral: "Unc Vance ... See? You don't need all the other instruments. We want to hear just you..."
 
OK. The album. Solo. Me. Classical or steel stringed guitar, depending on the tune. All Jazz Standards. 3 mics. A day or two. Done. Just a late night, dim light, singing quietly at you, feel. Done
 
So here's the deal. You want to donate? Here are a) the suggested donation levels and b) the incentives. Ready?:
 
a) Any amount - Simple as that. 1$, $3, 5$, $1000, $7.95, I don't care. Whatever you want.
b) Your name will be on the album - Full-on Marxist alphabetical listing of names, or anonymous or "in memory of". However you want it..
 
Rubberscaleairlinerboy@gmail.com for PayPal and for address inquiry information as to where to send checks, cash, etc.
 
I'll start recording this winter. Once I have it done, I'll probably just give you one. Probably. If you ask. There. Done. But I will have a Jazz Standards Album. 
 
Tunes final to be determined, but definites are: "Moonlight In Vermont", "Round Midnight", "I'll Buy You A Star", "When Sunny Gets Blue", some Duke Ellington. I *might* be open to suggestions..
