Hi all,

I posted this on the campaign page as well, but for those of you who haven’t read it, here it is:

It’s been a few months since I last posted anything on my campaign. In the meantime, I have been hospitalized for acute renal failure and hypercalcemia–too much calcium, even though I’m hypocalcemic–too little calcium. My body flipped for some reason, and the doctors still don’t know why. I was in the hospital for five days. It was not fun. I walk with a cane right now because of bone pain, but that should go away eventually.

Still, I am in good spirits. And though I came nowhere close to making my $25k goal for (a) moving to Jamaica and (b) producing an album in Jamaica, as you know, I still made enough (thank you!!) that I feel I can put together some music, while here in the US, that I will be able to share with you soon.

I didn’t want any of you to have to wait until I am in Jamaica next September, and since that, for now, seems to be a moot point anyway, music-wise, I came up with another idea that’s more feasible. With the help of some friends, college students at SCAD,  and a bit of creativity, I am putting together some songs that I hope you will enjoy.

Stay tuned!

Love,

Jo
