Same as the $60 or $65 package (you decide) - plus Douglas or Mark will write you a song.** 

This song will not be included on the album and it will be original to you and your story or request.  We'll ask you some questions and get a feel for what you have in mind and what you want the subject matter and tone of the song to be and then we will go to the drawing board on it. 

Maybe you want a song written to your girlfriend or boyfriend.  Maybe you want a song about a loved one that is no longer with us.  Maybe you want to remember an experience or a change in your life with a song.  Tell us about it, and we'll try to do it justice for you.  That's how we came up with "Do You Wrong" from Dark Days; it's been done before and we can do it again.  This won't be a half-assed endeavor.  We will take your request as seriously as we would any song that has the potential to be recorded or released. 

The song will be recorded lo-fi on our home demo equipment and sent to you as an MP3 via email.  You will be the only person to have a copy of this unless you request to have it shared with the public, in which case it will be posted for free download on our website with a note of thanks to you.  You will also be free to share the song with anyone you see fit, of course, since you're paying for it.  If your request is for an acoustic version of an existing Ducky Boys, Lind or Sullivan song then we will automatically share this with the public for free with a note of thanks to you for making it possible. 

** The only caveat to this is that if we hit on something really good and catchy then we reserve the rights to re-write the words and record it on a future album if we decide.  In other words, the song in and of itself (chords, structure and melody) will be the property of Bitter Bastard Music or Douglas Sullivan Music as administered by ASCAP.  This is limited to 20 backers because we're not an endless well of ideas here like Prince is. 

Deliverable by March 2013, but quite possibly before that.
