Pincher Creek October 18 Concert

Hello all!

I have concert coming up near Pincher Creek in S. Alberta. In case you happen to be in the neighbourhood...

Music forest IndieGoGo fundraiser - So close it's starting to squeak

Thanks a million for the generous contributions and good wishes that so many have sent out. The response to all this has been very encouraging and, of course, will be incredibly helpful.

There's just over two more days to go before the !!September 14!! end of the campaign and I could use just a bit more help to reach my goal.

If you'd like to read more about my dream of getting my instrument and music making studio/workshop in the north of Thailand off the ground… and perhaps even make a contribution, please make your way to: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/music-forest-dondtreebpa

I hope this finds you all well and happy and I beg supreme forgiveness for this (and all the other) intrusion(s). 

It'll be my last send-out in connection with this massive begging effort, thanks be to God. (let's finally face facts and call it what it is!)

With the help of all this incredible help and goodwill, it's looking as though I will truly be able to live my grand dream of sitting around on a big hill banging on pieces of wood not knowing quite exactly what anyone around me is saying.

Cheers and happy almost no more summer and yet the autumn is so nice and fresh in southern Canada except in southern alberta where we have just got over a big two-day freeze and snow storm.

Music forest IndieGoGo fundraiser - Final Week!

A quick post here...

I've got one more week to go on my IndieGoGo fundraiser and my hoped-for goal appears to be in reach… with just over $600 to go!

I'm raising funds to help set up an instrument making studio on a mountain in the forests of northern Thailand in case you were wondering what this is all about.

If you'd like to read more about this mad endeavour and perhaps even help me reach my $2000 goal (Yikes!! but don't stop there!), please go to:https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/music-forest-dondtreebpa

This campaign ends on September 14. Funny using the word 'campaign'. Makes me feel like I'm Napoleon or something but with no hat. The IndieGoGo people use the word so I guess it's fine for me to use it too.

There's still a bunch of perks available to be got, if you like that sort of thing.

Cheers!
Cath

An Indiegogo fundraising 

Hello everyone out there in internet land!

Well, I'm starting my big Indiegogo fundraising push to get myself over to Northern Thailand to set up a small instrument making studio in the mountain forests east of Chiang Mai. I'm currently camped (literally!) in SW Alberta working towards this great goal. As I write this, I am both halfway through my six months in Canada and almost halfway towards my full goal of reaching $10,000 before I leave on November 1. Here in Alberta I've been working with horses doing a lot of trimming, a bit of training and a bunch of other stuff. I also found a wonderful new home for Dakota which is a great relief. I miss him so much and often wish he was grazing near my tent as he often would do. He is not too far from here and so I can visit him now and when I come back to Canada to visit.

On my Indiegogo site, I have a whole bunch of perks connected with this fundraising starting at $20 and going upwards including some awesome instruments. The fundraising campaign ends on Sunday September 14, 2012.

I won't write too much here, but if you would to like hear about this next adventure, the fundraiser and maybe even make a contribution, please go to: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/music-forest-dondtreebpa

Please help if you can!

I hope this finds you all well and happy and enjoying the summer.

Cheers

Catherine
