update

So I've been back from Jacksonville for about a week now. Settling back into my routine and processing everything.  I'm not quite ready to share what they told me since I still have another appointment here in Pensacola to do a test to rule out a possible theory.. but there is hope. and that is a good feeling that's been hard to come by these last few years. 

Thanks for your support!

Nice People & Nice Things

  There are an awful lot of nice people out there saying an awful lot of nice things about me in support of the Save The Amanda Comp Albums!!!  And while I hardly feel worthy of such kind words,  I thought I'd collect the pieces together and share them with you! 

    In addition to the album functioning as a fundraiser for me I sincerely hope that the artists featured here are able to reach new fans that maybe they wouldn't otherwise. Because like Nietzsche said, "Without music, life would be a mistake."  I tend to think that goes not only for the artists that live & love to make it, but also for those of us that are lucky enough to be in the audience! Besides! Studies have shown that listening to one new song every single day can help strengthen and improve our brain's neural network... which might help combat Alzeimer's. So if you think about it, maybe this compilation album can do us all some good. Here's to hoping!

 PS: I've heard there has been a little confusion.. There are two full albums! Volume 1 & 2 are  separate. Follow the link above and look in the right column of your browser window under "Discography " to navigate between the two albums.

New news!

Next month I'll be heading to the Mayo clinic spine center in sunny Jacksonville, Fl for a meeting with a doctor there that has agreed to look at my case! From what I understand they work in groups with doctors of all different specialties to help identify and fix what's wrong with folks. I'm very excited to make the journey. In lieu of the impending avalanche of medical bills my dear friends Mike and Ben have generously been working on putting together a compilation album to help raise money for my medical bills. It's a truly kind and heart warming offer that I hope you will help make a success! More details to come! If you would like to get involved please email us at helpsavetheamanda at gmail.com.
