a week in Nashville...

 A week in Nashville at Direct Image Recording Studio w/my award winning producer, engineer, vocal coach Kenny Royster - we finished the vocals for the new Christian CD (un-named at the current time).  Kenny produced my first CD, Moonlight, over 10 years ago and the rest of my CDs since then.  It is always a learning experience working w/Kenny and I am grateful for his experience, patience, wisdom - and sense of humor :) - thank you Brother Kenny!

           Also in the studio this week were my vocalists Vicki Hampton, Kim Fleming & Robert Bailey.   

We have worked together since my Close CD.  They were in-house Thursday adding music, love and life to the CD.  We had a great day and they sounded awesome - wait til you hear!

On Friday, new-to-my-team vocalist Tania Hancheroff added her warmth and energy to the project - beautiful Tania - thank you!

I have the weekend off, so I slept in, am eating real meals, enjoying the company of friends and will even watch the Super Bowl (we might get more snow!)

Next week I'll be back in the studio with Kenny mixing, watching, listening and tweaking.  The music is sounding great, beginning to take shape and I'm getting excited to have you enjoy the fruits of our labor!  I am grateful for the material, all involved lending their time and talent and the opportunity to share the gifts!
