Last Friday, January 23rd, I lost my Female BFF Karen Hayse. It's been a tough time for all of us who loved her, and I want to thank everyone at Bumps Radio, my Indie Artists, the Listeners, and my Friends for all of your kind words and support. The only thing I could think of was how much Karen would have wanted me to keep on going with my shows - she listened to them - and so I dedicated this week's shows to her and played lots of songs she liked. Please keep her family and friends in your thoughts - and I thank you. Rest Well, My Darling Friend. . .You Are Loved.
A band new to Bumps Radio, Mister E. Machine is from Chicago (like me!) and has started a Kickstarter Campaign to raise money to create an anti-bullying video in honor of Rosa Marie, sister to one of the band members, Manny. Manny was bullied as a child and his tough-as-nails sister, Rosa Marie, helped him through some very dark times. Please visit this Kickstarter site and read all about the making of this video and how important it is to all of us. Kick in some money if you can - and thanks.

Another project in the making - I am contacting Indie Artists to please contribute a track of music to a CD that Indie Artist Stevan B. and I are putting together for Kildonan School, a private school for children with Dyslexia. Kildonan has a 100% college placement rate for its graduates and does some very good work indeed. More on this as it develops, so INDIE ARTISTS reading this, please contact me if you want to contribute music to this wonderful project! Thanks and here's a link to Kildonan School: http://www.kildonan.org/ In the interest of full disclosure, Stevan B. has a relative on staff at Kildonan.
Also, Studio Engineer Kitty-Boy Seamus and I are sending lots of love to our friend Paula and her family. . .
