Help Walter Day launch his music career
Donation protected
Today, May 14th, 2021, is my 72nd Birthday, but it is also Akshaya Tritya (The Day of Lasting Achievement), so I am overcoming my fear of Crowd Funding to ask for help. Though this request makes me nervous and feeling vulnerable, it is time to overcome my fear and move forward and finally pursue my dream of bringing my music to life. But, I need your help.
Catamount Studios in Cedar Falls, Iowa is a professional-level music studio who has heard my music and is committed to bringing my music to life in the form of a 10-song album. The expenses are great, however, and the costs amount to $2,500 per song....plus I have to drive 300 miles round trip to the studio for each recording session and stay in motels for numerous nights during the time we are engaged in intensive recording sessions. The $2,5000 per song also covers the costs of bringing in an array of professional musicians to help perform the music in each song. The Studio is booked by me for May 30th up until December - a window of 6-7 months to complete the creative and recording work.
Ideally, we need $27,500 total for the campaign, but the studio is willing to start the process with a $5,000 deposit to get the ball rolling on May 30th and the studio musicians in the recording booth. So, if we can raise even a mere $5,000, the process will start.
Many of you know my songs because they were featured in THE KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS and CHASING GHOSTS:BEYOND THE ARCADE -- two very, very popular feature films that tell the story of my background as a pioneer in the creation of modern eSports. Brief medleys of these songs appear all over the internet and on Youtube to whet your curiosity.
The songs we will produce are:
Three Lies
You & Me's A love I'd Like to See
Don't Give Up
Darling, PLease Listen
Love in A Changing World
Tonight, Tonight
Hold Me
Half the Night
Eyes of a Stranger
