Nate Gibson & the Stars of Starday Will Be Funded! THANK YOU!

There are still four days left, but for everyone who has already contributed to the Nate Gibson & the Stars of Starday Kickstarter, thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!! I learned last evening around 6:00pm that the project will indeed be funded! Woo-hoo! There are still more flex goals and things to aspire and wish for (like colored vinyl, heavy duty pressings, longer liner notes with more photos, nicer candy cigars, etc.) so please do keep sharing the project with your friends in these last few days, but just knowing that it WILL HAPPEN is beyond thrilling. http://kck.st/2OVxC0t

I can't even pick an appropriate adjective. I'm so grateful. I'm so relieved. I'm so excited. I'm so happy. I'm so exhausted. I'm so very thankful to everyone who contributed to the cause: each and every Kickstarter supporter, the musicians who played on the record, the studios and engineers who made it sound great, the academic conferences and music festivals who let me sing my songs and discuss the effort, the radio DJs who have shared the project with their listeners; the friends who let me crash on their beds and couches throughout my journeys, my puppet-making friend and all of the volunteer puppeteers, everyone who shared the project with their friends or who offered me encouragement or support or food throughout the stressful process, and most of all, the Stars of Starday themselves [Betty Amos w/ Judy& Jean, Bill Clifton, Rudy "Tutti" Grayzell, Wade Jackson, Sleepy LaBeef, Little Roy Lewis, Jesse McReynolds, Darnell Miller, Frankie Miller, Arnold Parker, Margie Singleton, & June Stearns] for taking part in this crazy idea!!! I give you all my sincerest gratitude with an all-caps THANK YOU and a hearty YEE-HAW! Onwards to the finish line! http://kck.st/2OVxC0t
