House of Wills - A Western Swing and Jazz Tribute Project to the songs of Willie Nelson
http://www.budurl.com/houseofwills
We need your help paying tribute to a living legend of American music—Willie Nelson—by supporting a CD/DVD that re-imagines his songs in the style of Western Swing icon Bob Wills. Imagine the most sublime Nelson music given a new setting of sophisticated yet grounded western swing stylings, a bit of mariachi, a touch of Chet Baker played by a family of season acoustic musicians - violin, cello, trumpet, upright bass, classical and steel string guitars, mandolin, female and male vocals and harmonies.
The recordings are done, but we need your help spreading the word about our fundraising campaign to bring this very special project to CD, DVD, and stages.
Here are 4 simple ways you can make it happen!
1. Copy and paste this into your Facebook or Twitter status message:

Our request to you is that you take a moment right now to take one of the suggested actions above. If each of you can make that simple commitment, this project will become a reality.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and generosity...
