I hope that lots more fans will join in this experiment and get the paid subscription. Hey, if you don't have $50, I get it. I've been there. You have bigger problems and I'm not asking anything of you. But if you DO have the cash, I think this is a great thing to support. The music industry lansdcape is changing dramatically and artists are getting screwed. Spotify and the like are great for us fans. Unlimited music from every genre for $10 a month? We don't HAVE to buy albums anymore like in the old days. But artists are making pennies per listener on these streaming platforms, they are really getting ripped off and have to scramble to generate alternative income streams through merch, etc. Daryl and Todd have come up with something pretty unique and cool for us to be a part of. If you really love Todd's music, and if you're reading this you probaly do, this is a cool way to support the guy who created that music. I think we as fans have to reconsider what it means to support our favorite artists. I personally appreciate this unique "behind the scenes" type stuff Daryle is sharing. It's definitely worth the price. More importantly I think Todd Snider is a great artist and I want to support him in any way that I can so that he can keep his lights on and stuff. Call me a happy subscriber!

Any idea how many completed but unreleased albums Todd has in the can? A boxset of unreleased material would be great.

Michael, it looks like your payment may not have gone through. Can you check your bank account to see if they are showing the payment?

Yup - they show a payment. I submitted a request to substack and sent them a screenshot.

I tried to enter it here, but unable to post the image. I am sure I did something wrong and probably miss typed the email address.

I'm going to follow up with the payment company, Stripe. Look for an email from me asking for some additional info.
