Day 25 of 31 Songs in 31 Days – Cruel Summer by Bananarama

One week left of 31 Songs in 31 Days. Wanted to share the fact that many of the endeavours I’ve been able to take on this year have been because of Patreon and… donations from people just like you.

That’s right. Sometimes people on here adjust their monthly amount, for no reason, just to be nice. Sometimes, someone will send me a donation via paypal, venmo or… I’ve even gotten a check in the mail!

So far this year I released the album Can You Find A Way, started making a stop motion animation video for the song Hospital, remixed and re-mastered two albums I made in my house in 2019 and 2021 (that will be released in the next few months) and paid multiple artists (still raising money to make art for the upcoming new singles), engineers, producers and musicians to help me Make Songs. One February 1st (my birthday) the first Billy the Kid and Your Funeral Single will be released (you can pre-save it here if you’re so inclined).

Don’t get me wrong…I have a job. But the salary of online music teacher (I have some openings right now by the way haha…check out this link if you’ve ever considered booking a piano, guitar, songwriting, voice or consulting session) can be a struggle, if I’m honest.

So if you’ve enjoyed being here, or supporting me over the years from afar, below are some links for the other posts if you’d like to check them out, and here are some other ways to make donations, buy me a coffee, pick up some merch…or just stream my music every night as you fall asleep…with the volume off 😂
