As of right now, 2 of these guest spots have already been purchased, leaving only 2 Slots open.  I'm running this sale through tomorrow (Friday, the 23rd) or when the other 2 verses are sold, whichever comes first. 

I've had a very good response, so if you want to get me on your record, now is the time.  Once these two half price verses are sold, it's back to the full $500 rate.

Thanks so much,
Manchild

Peace Party People,

I'm caught up writing my guest spots.  I'm recording my last couple next week.  I'm updating my studio and am looking to buy a couple of pieces of equipment.

To fund my studio expansion, I'm offering 4 Verses for 1/2 price.  This is a first come, first served sale, and I'll be selling 4 only.  If you've heard my guest appearances, you know that I come correct and give you everything you'd expect from a Manchild or DS5 guest shot.

Normal rate is $500, so the 1/2 price, discounted rate for these verses is $250 Each.

Don't sleep, because these will be taken very quickly.

If you're an artist, crew or group who's interested, please e-mail gregowens@comcast.net or message me here for details.

Thanks for your time, and for some of you, I look forward to working with you.

peace,
Manchild

I guess after you have had a record pushed back (propain) a 100 times and dealt with all the "when's it coming out? Blah, blah" nonsense it is extremely joyous and therapudic when you can literally drop an entire record in your fans lap and say "enjoy". So here you are, enjoy.
