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

Hello Linda,
I'm just stopping by to say hello and thank you. I recorded your song "No Telling" on my previous CD and sent you a copy a couple of years back. You had written a beautiful note back to me, and it's a rare thing in these times to have a reply from a 'star'. Thank you. I love your newest work and I wanted to mention that I have a new CD out this year myself. "Into the Stars" is a collection of star and night-sky songs and you can hear 5 tracks which are posted on my myspace page. Thanks for your beautiful voice, writing and for carrying on the music for so many years... this is my 34th and I know it's never an easy path. (You're lucky to have folks who manage your site and I say thank you to them too!) ~ Priscilla Herdman

am listening to Beauty and can see what you mean about Antony. I was lucky enough to see him with the symphony here-that show was amazing! You're very talented, keep up the good work.
