Insert from "All I've got for NOW!"

CD insert
This compilation of music is a celebration of freedom from record executives telling me what to put on my album. Free of limitations and stereotypes. Imagine that.

Homage: to my mother, Alicia Mckeown. Without her, none of this would have been possible for many reasons. These songs and all of the songs that I write in the future are in her honor for giving me life on multiple levels. I love you more than I know how.
Additional gratitude: This collection of music was put together over the last decade of my life. These are some of the people and forces that helped me along the way.  God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, the Universe, Mother Earth, Gaia, Buddha, Babaji, Dali Lama, Loa Tzu, Karma, the Golden Mean, the Laws of Science, Evolution, and whatever does it for you as well. It’s all relative. Tiffany Hodge, Jared Hodge, Justin Hodge, Hilarie Busby, David Scott, and everyone in my family including my very distant father David Hodge.

You’re always at my shows, whether you’ve heard the songs a hundred times or not. Better yet, you request my originals most of the time. You buy my CD’s and merchandise, put my stickers all over town, invite me to play at your weddings and are continuously rooting for me. Without you, there would be no exchange of positive energy. It would be like playing tennis by myself. I’m forever grateful for your validation and presence. You know who you are and so do I.
Humbly yours,
JamiSun
