Happy November, everyone! 😃 I hope you all had a great October. 😊

I need you all to listen closely. It’s very important to me that you understand what I’m about to say, so please read this carefully so that we’re all on the same page. 👂

I know that the global economy isn't as strong as many of us would like, especially in terms of the job market. Speaking from personal experience, I work two jobs to help pay the bills, in addition to producing organ cover music for you all. Contrary to what you might have heard, that doesn't pay as much as many assume. I also recognize that others would fight hard for the jobs I have, which makes things even more challenging for me, especially given the lack of available work since September 2024.

So, what’s my point here?

Let me clarify. I started the Jonny Music YouTube channel as a hobby, with no intention of making money from it. My goal was simply to entertain you with my organ covers.

However, I began to realize in 2017/2018 just how much attention my organ covers were receiving. This should be a positive sign that many of you genuinely enjoy my work, and I truly appreciate your support. 😊

Now, I need you to pay close attention. 👂

I have made it my lifelong mission to produce and grow the world's largest library of pipe organ covers and arrangements, with over 870 pieces and counting.

The challenge is that achieving this ambitious goal requires a sustainable income to keep me motivated to continue producing organ covers for years to come. A lot has changed in my personal life, and I need to make some adjustments to pursue this goal full-time. If I can't achieve that, the release of my organ covers may become less predictable and more sporadic.

Here’s where you all come in. While I truly appreciate everyone who shares my work, that alone isn’t enough anymore. I need as many of you as possible to support me financially so that I can focus on creating organ covers regularly and not have to rely on other jobs for financial stability.

You may be wondering how you can help. Here’s how:

I’ve mentioned my Buy Me a Coffee (BMC) page several times (on YouTube, at least). I switched to it from Patreon back in 2021. While I offer memberships on my BMC page, I also accept one-time donations starting at $5.

Moreover, this platform (BMC) allows you to place commission orders, which lets you prioritize your organ cover ideas sooner than what you might share for free on the Official Public Voteboard. I accept commissions on a first-come, first-served basis, with revolving slots to always remain open for commissions (unless otherwise specified).

Additionally, there’s a wishlist for my ideal practice/mobile-touring organ setup. Any contributions to this wishlist would be greatly appreciated, as they will help me work toward achieving the setup I need.

If, for any reason, you can't support my work financially, please consider sharing my BMC page link below with others who enjoy my organ covers and might have some spare change to help me pursue this dream.

Every bit of support means a lot to me, and I appreciate your help in making this possible. Let's make it happen! 😃

May the organ live on! ✊
