Hello friends, family and fans,
As you know, I've been playing shows touring on the road and beyond since April of 2015. In Colorado I was blessed with "Clarice" a 1985 ford E350 tour bus that had been customized into a cool RV vehicle perfect for getting to my shows and living in. When I got back from doing shows in Germany for three months, the muffler cylinder blew when I started her up. I was relieved to know this was only a minor repair. So I picked up some rideshare people and headed to my next destination. I was on my way to Orcas Island, Washington for some shows and holiday rest. In Federal Way, Washington, funny noises from the engine started to appear, so I headed to nearest off ramp to check it out. When I got to the end of the off ramp something blew and Clarice stalled right there in the middle of traffic. I got her towed to the mechanic and got a ride from an angel to Orcas and waited for the diagnosis. Worst fears realized, Clarice needs a new engine and muffler fixed.
I know the total doesn't match the amount I'm asking for, but i'm choosing a realistic goal to raise and asking for miracles. My goal is to keep touring for the next 2 years, sharing my music all over the country and the world. I am also using Clarice as a mobile recording studio to provide my engineering and producing services for musicians in need to get there music out there. I'm am also providing a rideshare incentive to help share in gas expense and to help good souls get to their destination.
I have also accepted the fact that if Clarice cannot be fixed, your funds would go to helping purchase a new vehicle which some say I should do already. I believe the universe gifted me Clarice to help fulfill my purpose in this life. That purpose is to share my music and life with the world, and to help others on the path to their dreams. She is such a unique and special vehicle. No amount is too small and no dream is too big!!! Thank you very much for your time and your help. Many blessing to you all and lets get Clarice back on road to musical bliss.
