A personal note from Antsy:
"Thank you all for your help. As you know, releasing these albums and publishing these books,
it's an expensive endeavor, and I couldn't possibly do it alone. Other 'Big Time' artists have
record labels and publishing houses with deep pockets who take care of all this stuff. Me, I'm
a little guy, under the radar, and trying his best to write and record albums that stand up to
all the "commercial" stuff out there by artists who've had unlimited resources to make their
music. Friends of my music have made it possible for me to record, mix, master and promote
my last 4 albums. You've adopted songs, bought lots in Pine View Heights, and participated in
auctions. The money we raised allowed me to make music that comes from my heart, rather than
a collection of watered down songs, altered by the committees and focus groups of a record label.
The music I make may not be perfect, but I hope you'll agree that it's real — even the humorous
stuff. I try to write it all so that it has layers. Nothing is a mere novelty or throw away song for me.
"This next year, 2012, has more than one milestone for me (20 years as an entertainer, 50 years
as a person!), so I'm wanting to really make a statement. The book "It Started Out As a Wart on
My Butt, Resisting Enlightenment in 12 Easy Steps" is mostly a humorous look at how I've spent
so much of my life taking for granted the cool things that are often right under my nose. I have
spent a lot of time resisting — or working against — moments of enlightenment, and each
chapter of the book examines events in my life where I had to get out of my own way, and
what I (eventually) learned from those events. Each chapter contains lyrics from the songs
on the Living The Dream album as they coincide with the lessons I learned.
"And certainly, one of the biggest, coolest things right under my nose, is the wonderful gathering
of quality people I meet at our shows. Thanks for allowing me the privilege of sharing my music
with you, and with as many people as I can. Nothing says it better than my song The Big Time.
(You can watch the video I made for the song HERE.)
"...This is my dream and you're welcome in it, and I thank you all for making it real.
...I couldn't be having a bigger time than this. If this ain't the big time, what is?"
See you on the road. Thanks for being there."
