Hi VanceFans!!

Nearness Of You - Vance's Solo Jazz Standard Album

Jane Hallman is a genius. Here's a sneak preview of the first rough draft of her work for the new CD. Oh emM Gee. After selecting the picture out of the bunch I sent, Jane says,  "…also, I dropped in 'Nearness Of You' as a title until you find one."

OK, not only is the artwork about 98% done, but there's the title, concept complete. The title…why didn't I think of that? Done and done. She also did BaD Dog Buffet & Old White Men, and those covers speak for theyownselfs. She has the knack to illuminate on CD art what many clamor to do on a full vinyl LP. She is a Goddess.

You can find her here - jane@hallmanstudio.com

See the purple part? Where your name would be? Well, Jane says that I have till Thursday evening to finalize my text, and that there is room for more names. So you have till Thursday evening to pony up:

WLF = you give money = your name on the CD alphabetically = $2 to $500 or any amount = you get a CD if you ask and probably a download.

How lazy is all that? Send PayPal to rubberscaleairlinerboy@gmail.com or just write there for my office address. You got till Thursday nite. Then Friday we send this off to the printer, and I'll probably have them in 2 weeks or so.

~ Private voice, performance, songwriting, guitar coaching - Yeah. I do that. Email me.

~ Gigs - Yep, I'm working:

Down the street from my Alma Mater, Connecticut College, where I first ever plucked up a guitar. That was 40 years ago. I wonder if that !BM 1130 computer is still on campus. Computers.  First course I ever dropped. Look at me now, with a mouse and USB ports…and stuff.
