The Concert For Compassion I performed at on October 22 raised over $2000 for hurricane relief.
Opening my email this morning, I received this note from Derek Sivers, who operates CDBaby.com, my Internet distributor "Surface Tension". I thought I'd share this with you all.
Michael -
Just a short note to say THANK YOU for putting your CD sales in the
Red Cross charity.
In the end, it raised a total of $165,060 over the last 7 weeks, sent
directly to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund through our local
Portland Oregon branch.
(You should have seen their faces when we brought in that very first
check, in person, for $113,000!)
We quietly brought the special program to a close last night after
sending the last check, so we will go back to sending the entire
amount of your sales directly to you. Obviously, you can choose to
send the money wherever you want, if you wanted to keep donating your
income to charity. It's just that we can't do it for you anymore.
Thanks again.

P.S. We donated $40,000 of our own CD Baby money too, in case you
were wondering. So - altogether, that's $165,060 from the artists,
$40,000 from CD Baby = $205,060 donated. I hope it helps!
Thank you to all who purchased my CD at the Concert and from CDBaby over the last 2 months. Your generosity is a blessing.
