I say it all in the video, really! Updates, a summary of my 2016 (plus a call-to-action to tell us about yours in the comments below this post!) and a little about where I've spent the Patreon funds collected to date. The second part of this video, where I show all the equipment is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb7qy1Txrhg

Hey, I really enjoyed that. The little look into what's going on in Orland, (would "Orla Land be "Orlando"?). Liked hearing you give props to your parents. It's long been apparent to me that they did a great job on you. You're a lucky gal. It's good to know you are saving money for the right opportunities, I just hope you have enough when a big one comes along. 'Cause I believe in ya. You know I think you do good stuff. So 2013 is when you count your start as a "real" musician... one of my favorite recordings I've ever heard you do was that Clockwork Owl session doing "Ripping at the Seams". Well I guess that was January, 2013, so that'd be about right. And another standout is that pre-release version of "Human" you did that has a bit less flashy production. 2016 was my 53rd year (I'll turn 53 this month). I'm not trying to launch a career or anything, and it's been quite a while since I launched from the proverbial nest, so I don't have quite the excitement going you have. But I do kind of enjoy seeing you enthusiastically throwing yourself into it. I ended up basically being an IT guy, paying the bills, but I have always loved music and have just begun to dabble into doing more than just strum in the living room - and you've been a part of the inspiration for that, just so you know. I put you through some truly afwul renditions of a couple of your songs and I'm sorry for that, but I'm happy to say I'm getting better. A truly amateur YouTuber. Last year I recorded several songs I wrote myself early in the year but it petered out, so ... 2017 my goal is to finish an album of my own originals and publish it out there with CD Baby and slap it out on Spotify. I don't expect it to sell or anyone to even necessarily like it, it's more of a bucket list checkbox. "Hey, man, I have an album. Cool." I bought some equipment last year ... a couple decent mics and a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 which does a pretty good job with my mics and laptop ... and a little compressor/FX box, and Reaper. So I enjoyed watching your Stuff and More Stuff video seeing what gear you have and your comments. It's really cool what you do, and you come off so personable. I look forward to your rambles as much as I do your songs. Hope it's a big year for you!
