When I, Jane, attended my brother's medical school graduation, the professors/dean/faculty/students all acknowledged how these graduates couldn't have succeeded without the support of their family/spouses/parents/siblings. Although at the time I did not think that I had anything to do with my brother's achievement in graduating from medical school, looking back, I realize that so much of success in life is merely from our family members being present and active in our daily lives - not just when it's convenient and even when it is personally painful and tiresome to them!
Our CD and our music endeavors have only been possible through the support of our family. It's so easy for artists to obtain all the praise for themselves, but we unashamedly recognize the individuals who have helped us along the way.
This is our little way of saying thanks!
Aaron's mom is our #1 fan. She has supported us all the way from day one. She has attended every single one of our shows in Los Angeles, she has stayed up with us at night helping us put together our CD covers/merchandise, she buys us books about the music business, encourages us verbally when we are discouraged, sewn beautiful dresses for me for my show, manns the merchandise table at our show, helps manage the legal rights for our music, and is simply there for us. Every new song, she is the one who hears it first and gives us feedback.
There is truly no other mother like this that we have ever seen who supports with her whole life on a day-to-day basis.
Aaron's sister, though out of state, has been such a support to us as well by sponsoring our shows, giving us great managerial advice and tips, showing up at our shows even though she is out of state! And talking to us daily just keeping us going in our creative adventure.
Jane's family has also supported us in more practical ways through providing means for aaron to have Illustrator so we may design our own merchandise and designs freely, giving us a backup harddrive for all the designs aaron creates, and helping us mail out our invites/press kits.
Jared/Kelly/DVI ~ Thanks for introducing us and for allowing us in your shop. Thanks also for your giving & humble spirit, which has made the biggest impression, more than all the sermons you have preached.
Sachi/Rebecca are our friends who are our #1 fans. You give us verbal encouragement and strength to carry on!
And even with all the help they give to us, they still insist on purchasing our music and merchandise! They won't accept it for free!
Thanks for all your support and love...
