Hi= VanceFans!!

Well thanks to you, I can probably push this l= ittle album to radio and maybe the press=2E I wasn't gonna, mostl= y because it is a "little" bare affair, hand-distributed for fans only= =2E But your donations to the World's Laziest Fundraiser and what= a few trusted folks think of what I have here has convinced me that i= t's worth the push=2E

Thanking you doesn't begin=2E= But Thank You=2E I hope I spelled your names right (I'm sure I= 've screwed something up - I'll make it up to you on the nex= t one…)

If you miss= ed it, I posted this on Facebook last week:

So I'm sitting in this buffet Chinese place= in New London CT before my show this evening, about to write my agent= a long letter emphasizing my need for more high profile work, and for= giggles I Shazam the Chinese Pop music overhead=2E
Stupid arroga= nt ass=2E Of course it came up=2E The production is actually great, th= e voices in tune, emotional=2E Duh=2E
Everyone is trying to get t= heir musical legacy into someone's ears=2E Just like me=2E
G= et some more garlic green beans, your head outta the muddy, and to sou= ndcheck in time to do what thousands of others wish they could=2E
