All of us Patrons have our own story of how we discovered Nataly Dawn's music or remember who it was that turned them on to her or Pomplamoose. Sometime over a year ago i was writing a stage musical (pop) tune and wanted to study the unusual harmonies of The Chordettes, Mr Sandman. But when i googled 'Mr. Sandman' i didn't get the 'The Chordettes' at all. Instead i got a wild four way split screen of a much younger woman than the Chordettes. She was singing the shit out of the song. "WTF is this !?" It wasn't a bummer "WTF", it was more like a "Whoaa dude WTF is this and how can i find More !" For a fifty something dude i was a bit too over stimulated by the song, the video and the girl. So i watched it ten times and looked for more of what this chic was all about. (in my time the term 'chic' was not a sexist term so no offense Nataly.) So you all would know that i discovered Jack Conte and Pomplamoose and looked up at about 4am just after viewing a 4 year old video of Nataly trying to sing this great song while sitting in tall grass by a barbed wire fence as Mr. Pony kept getting getting into her shot. She sang and played guitar perfectly while swatting bugs and stopping to ask Mr Pony if he might move on till she finished her song. I suddenly realized i was laughing my ass off but also totally getting into her song and music and natural comedy timing. She was exactly the kind of actress i would love to have audition for my musicals. By 5am i was crying but somehow laughing hysterically while watching a Nataly Dawn cooking show. I was flashing back to a very old family scene when i was quite young--watching I Love Lucy in our living room just before my mother died of cancer. All is fair in writing. If i could have my trial audience laughing in one scene then having grown men cry in the next scene, i'd know then the play was ready to open for the theater patrons and the general public. Nataly knows, as does Jack, Nataly's partner in Pomplamoose, and most of you patrons, that The Sara who has made comments and even defended Nataly on her Patreon site, is my daughter. I became a Patron at 5am the same morning and went to bed. The next day i made my three daughters patrons as well. Two of those daughters are quiet and wish to remain anonymous while Sara is quite outspoken. Of course i have no idea where she got that from----------------uh-hem-- Without going into rasing my three girls on music, i will at least say there was music coming from at least one room in our house at any hour of the day or night. My kids know that Dad is very passionate and gets quite excited about music. And that some music is written to be played with the volume on '11' for anyone of you who has seen 'spinal tap'. We are also all musicians but were never good enough to make a full living at it. Perhaps some of you are aware of who Sara is and the fact that she's going through a rough time in the last few months. She's been in hibernation and any father knows they'd take the pain from a daughter's heartbreak if they could. But i can't. Sara loves Nataly, but she just hasn't been open to music lately. We're at her house right now and helping with our three young g'kids (who i loVe being with but TWO WEEKS IS STRETCHING IT ! ) Sara is better so we're headed home tomorrow. She asked me today if Nataly had a new song out. So i played it for her. I have not seen her smile in several months. But by songs end she smiled. I said, "isn't that beautiful ? " Sara agreed with a bigger smile. The song calmed her and took her somewhere else for a few minutes. I told Sara that Nataly was editing a video for this particular song and it may be out this coming week. She smiled even bigger---and she told me to tell you, Nataly, "WELL IT'S ABOUT FRICKIN TIME ! " then we both laughed our asses off. So thank you Nataly, your art touches a lot of us in many different ways. And a thanks to the guy who responded to Sara when she accidentally posted a note about her divorce. You understood her pain and that meant a lot to her. To you, Nataly. We all know you work your ass off playing and singing and editing Pomplamoose music. but this last song you just released is indeed incredibly beautiful--honey vocals and harmonies by mid song--all very subtle. I'll just speak for Sara and myself, but i'm sure most every Patron of yours is very happy you continue to sing with Jack, but are also releasing this solo video. We're not singing the song or making and editing the video--but we are very proud to be your Patrons. I've definitely noticed a creative paradigm shift in your last four songs. It only makes sense for you to share new creations with the Youtube world as well. And Jack, a part of my income through life has been from patrons of the theater arts. It still amazes me that you brought to life this wonderful idea of patrons for musicians. We're so happy about your success. Man in my day--traveling musicians was a very tough life--and is now as outdated as the pony express. You are truly a man of vision. Just a reminder, Nataly. SARA IS WAITING FOR YOUR VIDEO !
