Thank you to every person that posted this fundraiser on your Facebook & Twitter feeds. These people show me their goodness, through love & support.

If you’re not signed up for the newsletter, than you should do it here. Be sure to keep an eye out for updates on the new album.

Then, with little to no rehearsing, Marc journeyed to the streets to create all new performances.
First he upgraded his gear, which included creating his own portable and rechargeable power source (we hope to write about this soon in an upcoming article).
