This is probably my last pitch to get you to back the Kickstarter of one of my favorite musical groups, Big Daddy. They're clever guys with an uncanny knack of sounding like not just one or two of the great bands of the fifties but at various times, all of them. Do yourself a favor and go to their website, click the tab for "audio" and listen to some of their incredible mash-ups. They take recent hit records and fiddle with this and rearrange that and somehow make them sound like fifites' tunes…and usually better.
They want to make a new album and will if they can raise $35,000 by 7 PM Sunday evening, Pacific Time. At the moment, despite many pledges from readers of this site and many friends plugging them (thank you, Neil Gaiman), they're still way short. That's a shame because I'll bet it would be/will be a great CD, well worth the $25 that's the lowest backer level that would earn you a copy.
If you've been considering sending a gratuity to this website, do us both a favor and instead go right this minute to become a backer of Big Daddy's proposed CD. If they don't make the 35K level, your credit card will not be charged. If they do, it will be charged and you'll be very happy with what that money accomplished. And either way, thanks to all the readers of this site whose names I see on their Backers list.
