The Kickstarter campaign continues on CNN

Lester Chambers' campaign to raise funds to record a new album eclipsed its goal of $39,000 by Christmas Eve, and the campaign won't even be over until January 9.

It was eclipsed thanks in large part to an article on CNN.com.

That made for a very nice Christmas gift for Lester and those close to him.

The day after Christmas, an early New Year's celebration started taking shape.  That's because Lester and his son Dylan got up early for a limousine ride to a San Francisco area television studio for a live, cross-country interview on CNN.

This is how a Kickstarter project to raise money for new music can get exposure.  It's good for musicians everywhere, and it's good for the fans.  A win-win proposition.

Welcome to the modern world of recording music!

Here's an excerpt from Lester and Dylan's live interview from Wednesday morning.
