News/Journal/Production Notes

To Sum Up
November 05, 2007

To quote the Veggies, I've been "busy, busy, dreadfully busy - much too busy" with production to update the web site recently. Here's what's been happening.

The artwork is coming along very nicely. The CD insert is almost done. I can't let the cat out of the bag, however, until it's completely ready.

On October 7th, I recorded the Metro Spanish Ministry Choir, led by Louis Cortez (pictured here), singing 'Cantico Celeste'. Louis sang the bass and tenor parts while Maria Granados and Carmen DeLa Garcia sang the ladie's parts. They did a fine job.

There was some question as to whether we were going to have time to get Tina Crawley's song 'Secrets of the Heart' on the CD, but we got it together, she recorded a new version, and it will be featured on the CD.

We finished recording Unity singing a fresh new version of Lara Jenkin's original song 'Amazing Love'. This new version really sounds amazing.

In other news, Abby Maxwell recorded vocals for Dave Eastman's original song 'Chicago Fire' in a studio in New Mexico. John Mannel recorded saxaphone for a part in Steve Bradley's original arrangement of 'Wade in the Water' at a studio out in California.

Also, Steve Bradley wrote an original arrangement of a medley of 4 meditative hymns for harp, guitar, flute and violin. We recorded this at Melissa Anderson's home just yesterday. Prayerfully we will be playing this piece live at some upcoming church services.

The last bit of recording we have to do will be this Wednesday. We will finish up recording the lead vocals for the theme song 'Through Water & Fire'. Then, it's time to mix it all down, master and deliver to you.
