My buddy Ron Sunshine, long time harp-playing swing-band crooner in NYC who paid his dues in the trenches of Dan Lynch's blues bar back in the 80s, is working on a new album. If ever there was a guy who has paid his dues, done all the hard work, kept a fantastic band together over the long haul, and deserves to have a friendly public assist him in taking the next step, it is Ron.
Some of you know him as a guy who sells cool vintage mics.
Anyway, here's the link for his Kickstarter campaign. He's done a superb job, IMHO, of laying out exactly what the album is about and why it deserves your help:
LOL, I happened along his ebay page and bought his Swing CD. Just got it Wednessday. This cat can play and his band is fantastic. Dig the groove...BN (;>)

You folks are too kind. Thank you! Happy to report that the campaign is going really well, thanks to people like yourselves. I appreciate the kind words, and the support. One sixth of the way there in 3 days. It kind of blows me away. Wait! Where have I heard that before? LOL. Seriously, thanks, guys.
Hey TBird. Thanks so much. I really appreciate your backing on this project. Don't be embarrassed! I've been out of the recording biz for over 10 years. Trying to remedy that!
some pretty good rewards on that campaign too. i have 4 of Ron's albums...1 mic, but it was a goody that got me through a lot of gigs..CM in a EV605 shell, dirty loud bottom end. get in quick folks, there are only 4 skype lessons left
Happy to have chipped in. I learned so much from your microphone reviews, that's worth it alone. ---------- For questions mail james@simplemics.com Stickman from walkthatwalk.org
Thank you, Larrystick, and all the others from this web site who have pre-ordered my record. I have to say I am quite touched by the generosity of my fellow harmonica players. Hey, how often does one hear nice things about harmonica players? LOL. Thanks again.
I really want to hear this stuff. Let's do this people! ---------- Be humble for you are made of earth. Be noble for you are made of stars.

Update: 9 days to go! We are 60% of the way there, thanks to 185 backers. Nine came from this web site. Thanks, guys! If you were waiting to pledge until the home stretch, this is it! You can pre-order my new recording for as little as $10 for a download. Also being offered on vinyl and CD. See the post above this for a preview of the songs, and here once again is that link: Ron Sunshine Kickstarter campaign
Last chance to pre-order my new record! Kickstarter campaign was successful, and we will be going ahead with it. Thank you to all of you from this site who pre-ordered already. I really appreciate it! Even Adam ordered one, even though he knows I would have given him one! Thanks, Adam.
The link is right up there. ^^^^ And right above that is the pre-view video. Check it out!
this reminded me to get the old albums out...working backwards...i 'm listening to Soul Drug this week, got it fired up in the car...feels like a scene from a TV cop show every time i roll out the driveway...but maybe thats the drugs
Hey SuperBee! I've been trying to reach you so I can give you what you ordered. If you don't get this last email I sent, I hope you will read this and email me. You can google my name and contact me through my web site. All the old email addresses I had for you are invalid! Get in touch with me, please. Thanks! -Ron Sunshine
