    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .... .. .... ...... .... .... This space is managed by the folks at The Hector Fund (www.thehectorfund.com), not by Linda herself - however, Linda is now checking in from time to time and we will see to it that every email will be returned. Linda thanks you for your interest....... .... A MESSAGE FROM LINDA ON HER FORTHCOMING ALBUM .... My name is Linda Thompson. When I was twelve years old, a career counselor visited my class in Scotland and asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. When I told her I wanted to be a folk singer, she told me not to be stupid! .... It's many years later. I still want to sing songs and it's even harder to make a living as a folk singer! Since I returned to making music, the business has gone through a lot of changes. I'd like to make another record, and I think I can make a really good one (famous last words!). .... I'd like your help. I'm trying to raise money so I can record the music, and be able to pay the excellent musicians, engineers and studios a fair wage and release the album to the public. So I am asking for financing -not charity (please save that for a more worthy cause) - but a business transaction. You, the audience, put up some money and I return the favor by sending you the music and much, much more! .... I'm trying to raise $50,000 to cover ALL of the costs associated with independently producing, manufacturing and marketing an album in today's marketplace. .... When I started playing music in the sixties and seventies, we shared everything-- perhaps some things we shouldn't have. I'd like to return to a little bit of that spirit now. You the audience can share in the experience of making my record with me and be the first to hear it when its done - and I get to stick it to "the man" (whoever passes for the 'man' these days) by working outside of the system. .... Thanks for your support throughout the years and into the future, .... Linda .... ..Please visit The Hector Fund at www.thehectorfund.com to help support Linda... .... ..Download Linda's New Track, Never The Bride Right Now For Free.. .... As a special offering to all of her fans - and hopefully potential donors to her Artistfunding Campaign - Linda is giving away the recently recorded track, "Never The Bride" and releasing it at The Hector Fund exclusively - www.thehectorfund.com - as a first taste of what her forthcoming album will sound like. The song features a stellar cast of musicians and was co-written with her very talented and very handsome son, Teddy Thompson. Visit www.thehectorfund.com to find out how you can help Linda finance her new studio album and get hooked up with cool stuff direct from Linda herself..... .... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ............
