I want you guys to know that I'm making a new record and I need your help.

We had an unexpected surgery in a family that wiped out all the money that we had set aside to make this record.

And, you know, we do everything out of pocket. We're just, there's no label or any investors

or anything like that. There's no big company behind this. It's just me and Amy doing whatever we can.

So to fund this record, we decided we would do a Kickstarter campaign.

And if you'd like to kick in whatever, you know, you can do that. Just go to Otisgibbs.com

and there's a link on the front page there. You know, if you guys enjoy this show that I put out every week,

you know, I do this just here in the living room and

we don't make any money off of it or whatever. I just really enjoy doing it and getting to talk to

these people. And maybe this would be an opportunity for you guys to help support this endeavor.

If you want to, that'd be beautiful. If you don't, I understand. But just go to Otisgibs.com,

and we have a lot of different levels

that you might be able to do

a little bit of a pre-order and help us out.

But anything that you could chip in

will be greatly appreciated.

Yeah. Hi, friends, this is Otis Gibbs and you're listening to Thanks for Giving a Dam.

I'm sitting here in my living room in East Nashville, Tennessee. This is a personal journal. This is a bit of an experiment.

I like to say right up front that I haven't the slightest idea what I'm doing, but I decided to do it anyway.

And this show was founded with the idea that there are only two people in art that matter.

There's the creative individual and the person experiencing it, and everything else is an

artificial filter.
