We need your help! New Release Cycle of Life by Jeff Stetson, Produced by Max Vasquez
Thanks so much for your friendship. So glad we're able to connect here. I support all your endeavors right back. After six long years of producing my ailing friend Jeff Stetsons project, Cycle Of Life is finally back from the manufacturers! Due to delays in the manufacturing process, we were unable to release the CD in a timely manner. We thank those of you who have been waiting for this moment to arrive.
Our hope is that the interest from people like you and others will soon monetarily benefit this loving soul's health. So my simple request is this: please buy his new album, "Cycle of Life", and help spread the word upon enjoying it and you'll be helping raise money for Jeff's much needed medicine.
Together with some of our friends, we helped make this project because we believe Jeff is of legendary stature in our generation, yet virtually no one knows who he is, primarily because he's had to struggle all his life to maintain his health. Under Clinton's administration, Jeff finally got excellent health care which went away 7 years ago.
But this is not a political issue. He's been getting worse with a lifelong condition called Crohns Disease. It's horrible, chronic, lifelong and incurable. Imagine being trapped in a torture machine for over fifty hard years enduring yet defiantly battling the pain. There is excellent treatment available, yet out of reach for this kind and humble struggling San Gabriel Valley guitar teacher.
Jeff's illness has unfortunately become more progressive over the last several years. And it's gotten worse in the last month! It is our hope that the medicine he needs will prop him right back up. Jeff also needs to be well in order to take care of his wonderful wife, who suffers from MS. By simply buying a CD, you can truly be a part of Jeff's healing.
It was an incredible challenge to complete this album, yet it was a labor of love. "Cycle of Life" shows the genius of a man with a unique perspective of this "journey" that we all share. I'm honored to have been allowed to use my own vision to help shape this brilliant man's musical stories. I would love nothing more than to see this wonderful album help raise money for his medication. The treatment would bring my friend and mentor back to the kind of good health necessary to tour, enabling him to share his insights and skills with all of us. We believe Cycle Of Life is his masterpiece! Listen and you might believe too!
As a limited edition incentive, Jeff and I will be autographing, by request, the first 100 CDs purchased - plus "Nowhere Street", a classic 18 song collection of Jeff Stetson basement 4-track tapes, in which Jeff's musical brilliance far outshines the recording quality. Each of these CDs would be double albums back in the day... all for the price of one! Only $15.00 US (shipping included).
To learn a little more about Jeff and to hear samples of the new tracks (we don't want y'all buyin' something you don't want just to help someone out), go to my space dot com jeffstetsonband
If you'd like to see him in action, we captured Jeff in an MTV Unplugged style performance and turned it into this YouTube show.
(Our street team, and I volunteer to admin Jeff's profiles. Jeff doesn't use computers. Our reward will be his good health and success!).
Many Thanks and Blessings,
Max Vasquez

If only all this was around when I was younger... So now, with the help of Max Vasquez (and his own publishing house Maxx Vaxx Music), who I brought into my band, Watercolours, back in '82 when he was only 17 years old, I am finally available online to download. This is one place you can find my album and songs individually on. For all the generations that supported me and in turn learned what I could teach you here in the San Gabriel valley, I thank you wholeheartedly. I only hope I have been an influence through my love to teach you more than you sounding like me. I encourage everyone of you to find your own thing, make your own stand.
