I'm sure it didn't take time to notice the new Google AdSense bar beneath the navigation elements on several pages through this site. While most portfolio website designers shy away from this for the sake of clarity (they fear that advertising is tacky), I find it necessary. As I've mentioned before, this is a capitalist economy. Companies don't get started without loans and investments and they certainly aren't grown without well-targeted advertising. In addition, "free" services must be paid for somehow. I've decided to capitalize on this relationship. We'll see how well it works. In the meantime, do take some of your time to read my previous post. It will be most helpful to me!
PS. I'm putting on another orchestra concert in April with some fellow students from the SF Conservatory. Your donations have never been more welcome!

Yes, it is that time...
...For an artist to generate capital in a strangled economy.
Why do AIG and other irresponsibly spending companies get all of the money in such a time? When I was a child and adults made irresponsible decisions they just responded, "Well, life isn't fair!" I'm not willing to accept that.
Please help me with my "Artist in a Strangled Economy" capital raising campaign to help fund my compositional activities. Money will be spent on anything from software expansion to hiring musicians for services.
Thank you so much for your donations!
Musically Yours,
Robert Chastain
