I'd been checking Marshall's website at intervals, looking for info on this EP project I'd heard about, so thanks for the reminder! I love Marshall, but $50 feels a bit much for the three EPs available from Kickstarter -- especially when all six EPs will eventually be made available to the public. (The downloads don't appeal to me because I'm an old dog who never got comfortable with that new trick.) I took a pass a while back on a similar project from another favorite of mine, Van d**e Parks: a series of six 45s for $75 ( bananastan.com/singles.html). But I still have a few days to decide, and I think what will make me take the plunge is simply my desire to show my support for Marshall and thank him for 30 years of great music and stubborn integrity. The Kickstarter site shows he's only halfway to his goal, and I would not want to be responsible for Marshall losing heart. P.S. Isn't it funny -- ProBoards won't let me write Mr. Parks's full name!

I hope you do take the plunge. The EPs are a great thank-you for having participated, but the main thing is to support an artist who's trying to do things independently.
I've participated in a couple of KickStarter projects -- Greg Trooper's Upside Down Town album, the documentary Don't Get Excited about Graham Parker, and Geoff Edgers' film about the Kinks, Do It Again. I never regretted a penny spent on these.

This will be my second Kickstarter project -- I kicked in to help David Mead make his "Dudes" CD. I hope I'll get to see "Do It Again" someday.

I just visited the Kickstarter page on what I thought was the day before the deadline, but it looks like I'm too late. Darn! That's what I get for dragging my feet. Glad Marshall met his goal, though.

Yeah, he pulled it out at the last minute. The EPs will happen!
