Many of us here have been touched by Mario's (Utopian Reformist) situation. His life has taken an incredible spin and has thrown him into some pretty tough situations.
If you haven't read the situation, here's the thread:

Now, I've been known to take on way too many responsibilities at once, but I'd like to make room for this one.
What I'd need is the help of the musicians on this discussion forum. If you have any recorded music (or have access to record it), I'd like to request donating one of your songs for a compilation of a benefit album. You would retain the copyrights to your work, but would be willing to donate a song for the benefit of Mario Balletta. I will also make a contribution.
I know a place on the internet that will package CDs for a small fee, and then you add the amount you wish to make on top of the price of the packaging fees. I've looked through some of the stuff they sell on there, and I've come across quite a few benefit albums. Mario would directly recieve any profit from the compilation album to help him pay for his expenses resulting from his tragedy.
Before I completely go through with this type of project, I'd like to have some feedback on this idea. I'd also request other help such as a package design, a title, etc.
Any thoughts?
