Good morning everybody, this is Rick Lee James coming to you from my day job at the hospital in Springfield, Ohio where I work. I just wanted to remind everybody that Friday is nearly here, March 7th, and I am excited to remind you all that Bandcamp Friday is back and it's kicking off on March 7th, which if you haven't heard about it before, the deal is that Bandcamp waives its revenue share and it means that all the money you spend on music and merchandise, it goes straight to us, the artists. There's no hidden fees, there's no middleman, and it's the perfect opportunity to support artists that you love, especially independent artists like me, and get your hands on some fresh tunes and fresh merchandise. It's also a great time for me to connect with you again, and whether you've been with me for a while or you're new to my music, I've got some great stuff for you over on my Bandcamp page, including some of my latest releases, and we still have some merch on there and some sheet music and things I think you'll love. So here's how you can get involved. You can shop at my Bandcamp page, which is rickleejames.bandcamp.com. You can spread the word and share it with your friends and family and encourage them to shop on Bandcamp Friday. You can use any of the downloadable graphics that Bandcamp provides to make it easy. Get something new. I've added a few new things, as I mentioned before, and I hope you'll love them. And you can show your support on Bandcamp Friday by truly making a difference in the lives of artists and sharing their music, purchasing music from them directly. And last year, all the fans went way out, and collectively Bandcamp was able to raise $194 million to support artists, and I'm hoping we can do it even bigger this time. So, uh, thank you so much for your support. It really does mean the world to me. And don't forget, March 7th, Friday— Bandcamp Friday, I should say— and my store is ready for you. So hope to see you there. God bless you all. Have a great day and a great weekend.
