Over a decade ago I took
some sabbatical time to produce
this compilation of original compositions on cassette tape. Thinking
back to
that six day marathon brings a smile to my face as I remember the
adventure of
“anaerobic recording”. Paul Dobies had transformed his son’s room into
a
recording studio for this project, with five vocalists crammed into a
converted
closet--made both soundproof and very compact by panels of foam rubber
stapled
to the walls. We enthusiastically worked to get each track right on the
first
take, because the air in that small place was in short supply!. Paul
was the
talented and encouraging engineer who recorded this work and added
voice and
instrumental gifts, as well. My wife, Cindy, brought her beautiful
vocals to the
mix,
matched by the soaring flute work of Greg Bishop. Our good friends Dave
and
Karen Maurer contributed their voices, great sense of humor, and
wondrous
spirits. We laughed and sang and prayed and ate and had a blast
recording this
music. The original cassettes are still available, as well as a
recently produced CD or digital download (mp3). May it encourage your
heart and help express your soul’s devotion to
Christ.

Here
is one
of the fruits of a recent sabbatical! I digitally remastered the
cassette, so that people who no longer own a cassette player could
listen to these songs. You could either order the physical CD or
purchase the download. If you buy the download, I will send you a link
so that you can download
the mp3 files--as separate tracks or in a single large "zip" file.
(This is over 35 MB. So if you don't have high speed internet access
you might want to either order the CD or decide to have a nice long cup
of tea while you wait for the files to download :)

If you order the digital download, I will send you a link so that you
can either download the files individually or in one "zip" file (about 35 MB). |
