Has anyone else had 'record an album' on their wish list, but never made it to a finished project? Well, I have.
Here is my favorite recording from a long time ago. I was working on an album of spirituals and gospel songs inspired by my work with Dr. Horace Clarence Boyer, I had the amazing Jerry Noble at my side for this house recording at an undisclosed location. There, we recorded six or eight takes and I sang into the fanciest mic I'd ever seen - a tube mic bigger than a plump ear of corn. Take it from me, it's never too late to dust off your unfinished projects and retool the wish list. Stay inspired.

eileen's inquiry
Can I really know that anything is true about my voice? What do I get for holding any judgemental beliefs about my sound quality - especially even before I let a sound fly out? Thanks to Byron Katie and Eckart Tolle and a myriad of other teachers of presence and self-inquiry we can discover our voices anew every day. What's your story about singing, performing, or practicing? Let me know. I'd love to help you unplug from it if it would serve you to do so. Archives
