Looking Ahead and Behind

I got in early yesterday from another weekend in Oregon and Washington. We had a great time. Sunday night we were with another group, the King's Heirs. They are some of the greatest guys in the world. We had a fantastic time together. The concert (in Clarkston, WA) was held at the First Christian Church and they, along with the congregations from the First Assembly of God and the Clarkston Church of God, came ready to praise God. We had a beautiful time of worship.

I just returned from the studio. I feel like we have lived there the last few weeks. Fortunately, we are almost finished with our Old Time Gospel Songs album (just a few touch-ups to take care of). We are now working on a project featuring brand-new songs, most of them written specifically for Liberty. We got to the studio about 10 this morning and stayed for about 7 hours. Phil Cross is working with us, arranging and producing our vocals. This is the first time I've been able to spend time with him and I have to say the guy has an incredible ear for harmony. I'm very happy with the two songs that we cut today. Good stuff!

We'll be in the studio the rest of the week finishing up at least half of the album. Then, this weekend we'll be singing at the annual Idaho Homecoming concert featuring Phil Cross & Crossing (a mixed trio), Liberty, and several other groups here in the area. There is also a 100-voice choir singing on about 9 songs. I think it's going to be a fun evening. We're going to be traveling with Phil Cross on Saturday and Sunday in Idaho and Oregon.

I probably won't be doing a lot of updating this week due to my schedule. We'll see what happens.

By the way, Travis, I'm praying that the Cubs fall off the end of the earth. They have cast some sort of spell over the Reds, I'm confident. The Reds can't take out the weakest offensive team in the Central division. Pathetic!

Oh yeah, one other thing for my motorcycle-riding compadres: Wear a helmet, for crying out loud!
