Your care obviously shows in your finished product, and I'm convinced it's what makes your concerts always dead-on too. But is your recording process typical across the industry for most recording artists?

A few years ago, we did a Talley Reunion project with Kirk, and we looked at each other and said "why did we record these songs so HIGH?". Of course the voicings were different then. Interestingly, we just recorded Hallelujah Praise The Lamb again in the same key as the original. Because it. has such a wide range, it is both nearly as low AND high as we can sing! Clay,

It takes a lot of energy but it is a lot of fun!! Roger, Debra, and Lauren thanks again for this site. It has been nice to follow your project. Can not wait to hear the finished project.

This is Odie who was on there for about a year on Wednesday Mornings with John Mills. I have often thought of you! Hey Elain are you the Elaine Harcourt who listened to KSGL in Wichita?

Oviously, as we mature and get older, our voices get a little bit lower. I was just wandering if you still sing those in the original keys or not?

I've had the wonderful opportunity to go through a few recordings myself and they were not even as complicated as the one Roger just explained. From an instrumental stand point, it was easy for me to show up play my parts and be done, but I now the vocals are one of the hardest parts to get right. One recording in particular that I was involved in took one day! We got done so quickly (10 songs)they had me, a bass player sing a few backup parts, what where they thinking! I understand all the hard work that you do to put together a CD, and I know I speak for all your listeners we appreciate the hours of hard work you all put in to each CD!! The final product is well worth the wait!! God has definitely given you a very special talent and I have really enjoyed listening to you over the past few years. I would love to have you come to Nebraska sometime, so my fellow Huskers can enjoy you the way that I do!! Can't wait for the CD! Hello Talley’s!

Though I have been a serious gospel record collector for over 50 years, I am sure that I do not have all of the Talley's albums (though I wish I did), but I can honestly say that every Talley project I have purchased has been a great one. Please keep up that incredible attention to detail, Roger!

Thanks for letting us in on the process, and taking the time to explain it. I bet sometimes you wonder of it is all worth it. Roger, it is ! Remember, the best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without it ! The best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing !
