We sang recently in Ohio at a great church we’ve been to probably five times. It was Homecoming Sunday and the congregation was torn between thoughts of Jesus and fried chicken, a powerful combination indeed.

Yes, you read that right.
It was the afternoon of my mother’s birthday. My parents and I decided to stop by the mall for a while before going out to dinner to celebrate. As I always do when I visit this mall, I stepped into possibly the greatest store on earth: Sephora.
Realms Of Glory Bright: Final Mix
August 21, 2008 – 2:26 pm
When we first posted some of the in-the-studio work on various songs, “Realms Of Glory Bright” got the most attention from you. Much work has gone on since you saw that early video. We slightly rearranged a part of the song based on a suggestion by Daniel Mount. Then we spent more days in the studio working on vocals and then added some orchestration (kudos to arranger Jason Webb). After everything on every song was actually recorded, we began the process of mixing. Basically, mixing makes sure that every instrument and vocal part is exactly at the right volume level everywhere in the song. Mixing requires as much time as recording the music, or recording the vocals. It is where everything gets polished.
So, for all of you who are showing your loyalty to us and this Tree-o website, here is the final version of “Realms” for you to hear and, as always, tell us what you think.

Vote For Your Favorite Photos!

Hey, here’s one we really want you to jump into. We have some of the photos from our photo shoot and we are starting to work on the CD cover. You can see that we have Group Photos, Lauren Photos, Debra Photos, and Roger Photos. We think we want to use the individual shots for the cover and maybe a group shot somewhere else in the insert. You can comment on that idea. What we want you to do is pick your favorite photo from each set. We have way too many photos (over 300) to show them all here but your choices will give us an idea of the types you like.

Realms Of Glory Bright ( song # 1)
June 11, 2008 – 2:09 pm
Hi everyone! We just recorded the music tracks for ten songs to go on our new recording, and we want YOU to be the first to hear the new songs! You will hear guide vocals (also called scratch vocals) along with the music tracks. These are VERY basic. Their purpose is merely to give the musicians and you an idea of how the song goes, so the finished product will be very different from what you hear in these clips. We just want you to hear the new songs and tell us what you think of them! Here is the first one.
And, please, SUBSCRIBE (in the upper right of the page) so you don’t miss any of the others coming up.
