Matt the Electrician

Hello. Welcome to my Patreon page. If you are here, I imagine you already understand the patronage model. If not, no worries, here it is in a nutshell. Support, that one individual bestows upon another. Simple. I make things, all the time, for multiple decades now. At various times, I’ve been able to sell some of those things, And in turn, used that money to pay my bills. But, as the music business has changed and morphed over those decades, The ways to turn the music made, into money for bills, have also changed And not in favor of the makers. So, here’s the deal. You can sign up to be a patron of the things that I make At a variety of financial levels Commensurate with your means, or your desires, or some amalgam of both. I, in turn, will make things. Every day, every week, every month. Sometimes it will be a new song Or a new version of an old song Or a cover song Or a video of an old-new-cover song. Or an essay on why I think fancy cars should slow down when driving down my street Or a collection of acrostic poems based on my favorite baseball players from the 1980s Or a craft project in tandem with my wife that has to do with tarot cards but I can’t say anything else or I’ll give it away and it’s truly a million dollar idea… You get the idea. I will make things And as patrons, you will have access to those things that I make. At bare minimum, there will be a thing a month. More likely, there will be a thing a week. And perhaps, during the fine month of Songtober, there will be a thing a day. And, for all levels, there will be 1 livestream a month. So, I invite you to go on this journey with me It may change over time And I will be open to your suggestions Unless you suggest that I change my stance on fancy cars driving fast in my neighborhood, Because I shall not change that stance. Thank you for your ongoing support. Love, Matt
