And They Sang!

Last night I spent a bit in the studio with the singers. We had Lauren, Jan, Janan, Rick, Matt, and Chad in the studio working on background vocals. It only took 30 minutes for them to learn biblical Hebrew - impressive! Every one of you guys missed your calling as ancient Semitic language professors. Unfortunately, we didn't have a camera, so you have to just imagine this group slaving away all night in a hot room under highly sensitive microphones. Tonight another group of background vocalists will go into the studio to hopefully finish of the congregational sound. I'm taking the day off from my day job to spend a full day in the studio tomorrow. I'm going to try my hands at some gitfiddle, and I'll redo some vocals on Beautiful Jesus if we have time.

Bez...poor Bez. He's sicky-poo. But he's still making this happen. I'll pray for him tomorrow if he's still hackin'. If you read this, lift him up...we're coming down to the wire, and he's the glue - and the glue can't be sicky-poo. Know what I'm sayin? Mastering is scheduled for April 6 (less than two weeks away), so we have a hard stop that morning. The plan is to have all recording mixing, and CD artwork done by that date. Please pray for perseverance, divine inspiration, and push-it-over-the-goal-line-ness.
