Dear Friends,

I have recorded an album, to be called "We Shall Stay Here," and have just launched a Kickstarter campaign to pay for the mastering, graphic design and CD manufacturing. I'm hoping some of you can help me reach my goal by February 1.

You may know me as the one who wrote "I Had an Old Coat," "Henry the Accountant" and "Call Me the Whale." This album consists of 12 songs I have written, and I'm thrilled at the way it came out.

I was able to get amazing backup from Jay Ungar (composer of "Ashokan Farewell") and Molly Mason on four songs. I also sing a duet with John Roberts, of "Roberts and Barrand" fame. They believe in me enough to be part of this album. I hope you will, too!

February 1 is fast approaching and Kickstarter is an all or nothing challenge, so I would appreciate any help you can offer in return for your reward. Here is the link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/paulkaplan/we-shall-stay-here-cd

Pete Seeger said: "I am a big fan of Paul Kaplan. I love his singing; I love his songs." Who wouldn't want to be like Pete?
