Hello, all, First, I apologize that my program won't let me write in rich text. So, there will be glitches. 1. Our Pepsi grant voting was continued through Dec. 31 since we were in the top 100. WILL YOU PLEASE VOTE FOR US? We are ranked #27 today. We must be at #1 or 2 by Dec. 31 to win $250,000. You can text Pepsi at 73774 with this message: 104141 Just that numeric message - nothing else. Many teachers/professors are asking their students to text it in. You can vote online using Facebook or any number of email addresses. The website is: http://www.refresheverything.com/savemarktwain If every Twain fan votes daily, we will win. Thank you. 2. On Nov. 30 we had a preview of our CD. Still waiting for Jimmy Buffett's tracks as Huck Finn. Also a song. The Quincy Herald Whig did a good story on the event: http://www.whig.com/story/news/CD-Release-120110 We will let you know the minute the CD is finished and available. We appreciate all of you who helped along the way. It's been a labor of love. Clint Eastwood just finished re-recording his pick-ups, and we are so close. The passage where he recounts Livy's death is very moving. Garrison Keillor as narrator was the perfect choice. The 200+ guests at the party loved it. And the music... what can I say? Breathtaking. It opens with Emmylou Harris singing "When Halley Came to Jackson" if that gives you an idea. What a year! Thank you ALL for being in our corner! Sam must be smiling.
