He is probably putting himself out there as his financial situation is not so rosy. You can choose to donate, or not to. This money 'asking' thing might alienate friends or peers, given the 'indignity' of it, perhaps he is really in dire financial situation to resort to this? It must have taken him a tremendous amount of courage to do this. As someone you respect and like, I reckon you should not be too hasty in judging his action. I'm sure he has thought long and hard about it.Patehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624536721906999408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9771388.post-29310259354546621182007-03-19T12:25:00.000-04:002007-03-19T12:25:00.000-04:00if on your website you had an opportunity for peop...if on your website you had an opportunity for people to sponsor and support your work<BR/><BR/>and in return for sponsorship i would have my name (business/school/charity) on the program, receive a signed score and cd of the live performance sponsored<BR/><BR/>given i could afford to do so;<BR/><BR/>contributing, sponsoring, financially supporting your work would be a pleasure and win/win situation i think:<BR/><BR/>the good feeling of giving a gift that demonstrates my support<BR/><BR/>and then the mention on program, signed score & cd seem to me like thank you gifts in return.SHEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826249683489196986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9771388.post-87053997002573511712007-03-19T11:13:00.000-04:002007-03-19T11:13:00.000-04:00It does seem a little crass... asking for support ...It does seem a little crass... asking for support for a specific individual event is one thing, but asking for support for ongoing future work is wildly different. But I also agree that even if you are looking for financial backers for an individual project, reaching out to your friends and family seems inappropriate.medusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951949395980680921noreply@blogger.com
