Second Album for Girl Friday and the Sepia Tones
It's been over six years since the last album and definitely time to get this second one out into the world. There are all sorts of obstacles in my way. Many are in my head, some are questions of strategy. Is it worth it? Do people really care? What's the right way to do this to get it to the ears that will enjoy it? Strategy of course is important, but just doing the thing is also important.
Will you help me do the thing? One way to do that is to show your support through pre-sales and donations. There are a number of reward packages to suit your needs and/or budget.
