Please Help Norman Whiteside With Letters (Capsoul, Wee)

[boba]

Here is an actual real (and urgent) thing you can do to help Ohio musician Norman Whiteside, member of Wee and songwriter for Capsoul, Owl, etc. He is currently unfairly imprisoned and is facing his parole hearing. Positive letters of support will make a big difference in helping him get released. Here is a real thing that anyone can do to directly help a soul artist, which honestly is a the most direct way I've ever heard of being able to show respect for and compensate an artist for their music -- more than even buying a release directly from them. I hope lots of people will step up and write a personal letter, it probably costs less than $1 to mail and probably takes as much time as writing a long soul source post. Here is a link with more details. Hopefully the parole board will be flooded with messages of support. Thanks in advance for everyone's help:

BUMP -- please, this is a fairly simple thing that everyone here can do to help a real artist who made some great soul music. Thanks to anyone who wrote a letter already, but this is a more productive use of a half hour or hour than, say, debating OVO or a venue. You may not like me but this is all to benefit someone who is unfairly imprisoned (and who has been in prison for a long time) who made great music. Thanks.

One's on the way from Ace/Kent.

Maybe make it into an article for the site, or have you done that?

I don't know how to do that, if Mike does that it would be great. Dave Thorley wrote a great letter too. Thanks.

Just expand your post in a doc to tell the full story from a news article viewpoint. A photo and scan would add to it.
