Important Fundraiser

Hi BTG supporters!

I hope you are continuing to stay safe. This past April I canceled our first 2020 fundraiser due to the coronavirus pandemic because I thought it was inappropriate to ask for your help while so many people around the globe are suffering financially and otherwise. I told you that we would try to have our next fundraiser in October. Even though life has certainly not returned to normal, I feel I need to continue with this fundraiser mainly because this year is a renewal year for web site hosting and security monitoring.

Our goal is to raise $1000.00 this will ensure that I will be able to pay website hosting $190 (every two years) as well as a yearly payment of $199 to sucuri for website security, monitoring, & protection. I am also paying $33 a month to host the 24bit files on Mega.NZ. Any additional funds left over are used to buy records that are requested and to maintain my equipment.

I do realize that we are living in a very difficult time so any amount that you can chip in will be very helpful. I also understand completely if you can’t give anything right now.

All you have to do to make your donation is click on one of the yellow donate buttons anywhere on the site. I use PayPal. It’s safe, secure, and you don’t need an account to make your contribution.

 

Thank you so much for your help. Please take care of yourself.

Typically Paul does 2 fundraisers per year…May and October. Although some of his expenses are 2-year plans (web hosting), I would still gather that he wants to plan yearly. He’s changed hosting and other technology things a few times. $2000 as a yearly goal is pretty fair in my opinion. He’s got just under $1000 in hosting fees each year and using that other $1000 for purchasing music, new stylus every now and then (about $300 per stylus I think and it will last 2-3 years for us perfectionists), his hard work, and other unforeseen issues (he had to buy… Read more »

Fred,

I so love your eloquence when you express yourself. Thank you for stating what so many of us feel about Paul and what he does. You can put into words feelings I can not, or not very well.

Thanks Fred for being part of the community here!! We’re all the better for it.

Donated already last week because I thought to myself you must need the money urgently and I remembered there was no fundraiser on Spring. You can always count on me. For all the hard work and everything else you do. I hope you will reach your goal to let this fantastic journey with BTG go on.

Paul, I missed out on the last fundraiser. But this time I can donate to you. Fortunately, this is a very good time for me, as I have a found a contract job, and can donate. I want to remind everyone out there, how much work and effort goes into digitizing and cleaning up these records and files. I do it too, but not with as much care and effort that Paul does. ================================== 1 If you enjoy any of the music, please donate. 2 Paul is putting up high quality files and using up bandwidth and paying for the… Read more »

I would echo point #1. If people enjoy even a few posts a year, please consider donating. Even if it’s $10. I know everyone is in a different economic situation no matter what year it is, but the fact remains that a very, very high percentage of these 12″s were never released in their entirety on cd format…let alone in great cd quality. I’ve collected numerous “remastered” or “expanded” cd sets or compilations and the quality pales compared to Paul’s work.
