How You Can Help So Many Roads

Every now and then, I get a comment from one of the kind folks who follow this blog asking "how can I help out So Many Roads?" Folks want to know if they can donate or make some kind of contribution to say thanks for all the music we share.

I'm always hesitant to answer as I don't want anyone to feel obligated to contribute. I don't ask for donations, as some blogs do, becase no one is forcing me to do this. I do it voluntarily because a friend once taught me "the only thing better than finding great music, is sharing great music. I can stop anytime I want to if it becomes too time consuming or too costly. I don't think it's right to ask for donations to support something I choose to do.

That said, I'm fairly certaint that the folks who asked about helping mean well, have good hearts, and really do want to give back because they feel they have gotten so much great music from my little place on the web.  So, if you want to help So Many Roads, here's 4 ways:

1. Leave A Thank You: Believe it or not, just a thank you under a post is a huge help.  Those thank you's remind me that folks appreciate what I do here and give me the encouragement to keep it going, even on those days when I wonder why I spend so much time and effort on this blog.
2. Fulfill One Of My Requests:  I have a whole page filled with shows I'm looking for which you can find here. Take a look, and if you have any of these shows, please zip them up, upload them to a host like kraken, workupload, filefactory, etc, and post the download link in the comments under any post. It will be greatly appreciated - and most certainly shared here one day!
3. Buy My Book: As you know, 5 years ago I published my book about my concert experiences, called TEN RULES OF THE ROAD I LEARNED AT MY FIRST CONCERT: AN ORDINARY GUY'S LIFETIME OF LIVE ROCK & ROLL. I make about $2 for every copy I sell. Not life changing, but as my dad used to say, "a few bucks here, a few bucks there, and pretty soon you're talking real money." The money I earn gets plowed right back into this blog to buy more storage for the music I share, to occaisionally pay to obtain a show, to upgrade my PC and internet speed to help with uploading and downloading, etc.  If you're feeling generous and could buy a copy, I'd be very thankful.
4. Leave A 5 Star Review For My Book: If you buy my book, please leave a 5 star review.  the better my reviews, the higher the book will rank on Amazon, and the better a chance I'll sell more copies. And the more I sell, the more cash I'll have to invest in this blog. Those 5 star reviews are truly a big help

So, there you have it - four ways you can help if you feel so inclined. Please know I'm thankful for any and all the support I get, however big or small. And as always, enjoy the tunz.
