Starting the recording

Well, Up in the Air may not be opening until December now, but that's not gonna stop me from doing stuff! With my song "Read a Book" finally finished to my satisfaction, and good rehearsals with the wonderfully talented Gretchen Hewitt, I was ready for the next phase on this one: recruiting some children to sing on it with me. Who better to join in on a song about the value of books, than some elementary school kids? Went to my old school, Keysor Elementary, in Kirkwood, and contacted the nicest music teacher, a woman named Tracey Sinclair. Gretchen and I met the 4 kids Tracey thought would do the best job, and we rehearsed in a music room downstairs. It was a blast! The kids learned the song fairly quickly, and we're going back on Thursday to refine it. And a couple of them had great input, too. What fun! On Friday, Robynn has me booked into a recording studio for the first time. I'm nervous but excited about it. Sessions for my first recording are officially under way!
