Ah, welcome to October and autumn, everyone! If it stays cool long enough we just might see some foliage before Christmas… but let’s not jump the gun! It’s time to focus on things like what to be for Halloween, and maybe a bit of autumn cleaning?

With that in mind, I’d like to present The Kim Davidson Loose Change Challenge. That’s right, yet another creative begging scheme from Yours Truly. I’m planning to put in some quality studio time in October (no gigs you may have noticed), and I could use everyone’s help to afford it.

Here’s what I propose:

1. Pick an area of your world… the couch cushions, the kitchen junk drawer, the floor of your car, the bottom of your purse…

2. Scrape up the loose change that you forgot was there…

3. Count it up… a buck-seventy-three, forty-nine cents, whatever.

4. Donate it to my CD fund by going to www.paypal.com, entering my e-mail address (kimdavidson@gmail.com), and the amount of your loose change. If you’re so inclined, you can throw it in an envelope and snail-mail it to Kim Davidson, PO Box 445, Medford, MA, 02155.

You know you weren’t missing it anyway... No amount is too small! For less than the price of a cup of coffee (or perhaps a gumball) you can help me make my CD… though if you’re feeling generous (or are independently wealthy) you can feel free to sponsor me for much, much more.

I know you want to help me because you're my friends, but to make the offer extra sweet, the person who contributes the MOST loose change (and by change I mean every type of money made in America!) by 11:59 Sunday 10/14 will get a $50.00 Amazon.com gift certificate! You know you want to win... Now get digging!

And thanks, as always, for supporting my music!
