Dr. M.T. "Mike" Resch a.k.a. "MTR"

This New Self Portrait was created with Corel PaintShop Pro X9 (64 bit) Image Editing Software. It is from a Photograph I took with my HP 3110 Webcam that I use for Skype in the kitchen of our home with a sinkful of dirty dishes and the stove with pots & pans on it in the background (which my wife hates for people to see). I removed the background digitally in this background layer, then I touched it up a little bit (OK maybe a lot) to take the bags out from under my eyes, and retouched my hair and face to make them look younger. Then I created another layer with a green-to-blue Gradient Fill and placed it under the background layer which is transparent where I erased the background so that it would show through like a grassy field blending into a blue sky. Then I added a "Frame" as the top-most layer to make the picture look "artsy". I use a Posterized version of this New Self Portrait (without the "Frame") as my Header Picture on my Twitter Account, MTR (@MikeResch). MTR

Mission Statement

I am a #Catholic #Folk #SingerSongwriter inspired by the Gospel of Matthew 10:42 to give "a cup of cold water" for free to the least of the brethren for the brethren's sake. My Mission is: First, to use the proceeds from selling Downloads of my Album on iTunes and other Partners to get enough funds to use LegalZoom to create a Nonprofit Entity called MTR, Inc. to support worthy Catholic Causes. Second, to assign the Copyrights to my Album applied for on 2/9/17 to MTR, Inc. once they are assigned, and to further use MTR, Inc. to Copyright the Melody and Lyrics to the Vocal Tracks on the Album. Third, to continue to use my Twitter Account, MTR (@MikeResch) and my account on Bandcamp to continue to give free Downloads of "A Cup of Cold Water" to the least of the brethren for the brethren's sake. Fourth, to develop a Following on my new Twitter Account, MTR, Inc. (@MTRinc2) to promote my newest Album in order to solicit funding for my new Nonprofit.

Optimum use of this Section

The best way to use this Section is as a "Listening Experience" for the individual Tracks in either A Cup of Cold Water - Original, Ambient Seashore or A Cup of Cold Water - Catholic. The Embedded Albums for all three Albums are connected to my Site on MichaelResch.Bandcamp.com. You can Listen to Individual Tracks to get a "Feel" for the Style of Music that each Track has. You can also Read the Info and Lyrics of each Track while they are Playing by Scrolling to the Bottom of this Site and Scrolling down through the PDF of the Info and Lyrics to the Track you are listening to. If you use Firefox as your Browser You can also Download this PDF on your Browser or Print it out on your Default Printer. You can Rt+Clk the colored Hyperlink bearing the Title of each Embedded Album and Open in a New Tab to explore the "info" and "lyrics" of each Track on the Album. If you're sure you want to import an Album into iTunes make sure to choose the File Format "AIFF" or "MP3" for your Download, as "AIFF" has a Sample Size of 24 bits and a Higher Bit Rate which Exceeds the Acoustic Resolution and Bit Rate used in Commercial CDs giving you the best possible Listening Experience. "MP3" is a better choice for Portable Players like Smartphones because the File size is around 1/7 the size of "AIFF" Albums. As a Plus, you have all three Albums in one place to choose from.

The Best Way to support my Music Ministry is to Pray for me on my Mission to give A Cup of Cold Water away for Free to the least of the brethren for the brethren's sake. This Album was a gift from God gleaned from my experiences in Music Ministry for the Catholic Church over the 30 years between 1968 & 1998. Aside from that, you could buy some Apparel and receive a Free Download of my most complete Album, A Cup of Cold Water - Original with all 13 Tracks plus Bonus Items which include PDFs of the Info & Lyrics of the Album, My Biography and Instructions for Importing a downloaded album from Bandcamp into the iTunes app. plus a .jpg of the Album Art in 300 dpi format. Alternatively, you could buy some Tracks from my Albums that you really like after sampling them on the Embedded Albums for $1 each. As part of my Deal with Bandcamp for Attracting Cash Flow to pay Bandcamp back for letting me have a site there I get to keep approximately 75% of money that is paid for Downloading Single Tracks or whole Albums. My manufacturer for the Apparel is Tonethreads, a Canadian Company which works exclusively with Bandcamp Artists to produce Tees and Hoodies with Custom Artwork by each Artist on a per-item basis. Tonethreads in return for bringing them Business, gives each Bandcamp Artist a percentage of the Purchase Price of each item which varies between 25% and 40% depending on the item. Also, Bandcamp allows each Artist the option of including a Free Download for each Purchase at no cost to the Artist except a 10% Surcharge on each item in return for Hosting the Servers for the Downloads, which is subtracted from the Artist's percentage from Tonethreads. There is also a Transaction Fee from PayPal which actually handles the Transaction which is a 5% Surcharge on the Total Cost of the Transaction that includes administrating the Shipping cost and Sales Tax paid by the Buyer which is also subtracted from the Artist's percentage from Tonethreads. On the other hand, my costs to operate my Music Ministry are: Yearly registration of Resch.com with Network Solutions, Yearly registration of my License for GoldWave Audio Software, Yearly registration of my License for Bitdefender Antivirus, Monthly Web Hosting costs to Internet Nebraska, and the Monthly Lease on the additional Software I use to operate my Ministry. That's it. Any extra money I receive goes toward the Creation of MTR, Inc., my proposed Nonprofit Corporation to benefit Catholic Causes. So although Downloads of A Cup of Cold Water - Catholic are Free from my Bandcamp site (that's part of my Mission) for the first 200 Downloads per month, I need your Support to help pay the operating costs. One other way to Support my Ministry is to use Apple Music's Browse bit.ly/MTRinAppleMusic or "iTunes" Store bit.ly/MTRoniTunes to Acquire the 10 Track version of A Cup of Cold Water. A portion of Apple Music's Monthly Subscription Price or "iTunes" Store's Purchase Price goes Straight into the Funding for my Ministry. If you're looking for some way to Help me, those are four Options that will. MTR
