OK! OK! WE HAVE AN ALBUM! And, because you have followed us all through the making of it, we want you to be the the first people to have access to it. The official release date is not until September 16 but we are going to make it available to you right away. First, because you deserve it, and second because we need your help (again). We need you to listen and give us your best idea for a radio single release. We will, of course, also be asking some others, like radio DJ’s, but we definitely want your input. We have to decide by September 15th, so get in on this as quickly as you can.

CD Cover Design Ideas
August 7, 2008 – 1:07 pm
OK. We’re getting close to the finish line! Here are some cover designs that our graphic artist has created. We are looking at them to see what parts of each design we like the best. What do YOU think? Let us hear from you. We have to decide really soon because we are trying to have this completed and manufactured in time to bring it to NQC. (Click to enlarge.)
About The Recording Process…
August 1, 2008 – 10:27 am
Several people have commented about the time we spend working on the songs, so I’ve decided to explain the recording process in a little more detail. We spend a lot of time listening to songs and searching for the right songs before the recording begins. We probably listen to at least 200 songs, then narrow the list down to 20-25. Choosing the final 10-12 is probably the hardest part. Many times one of us will really like a particular song, but the other two end up voting it down. Each one of us have certain types of songs that we do best, and many times that person has to make the final decision about which song they want to sing every night for the next 2 years (or longer)!

Getting It Right: Studio Vocal Work.
July 25, 2008 – 11:55 am
It takes many hours in the studio to get vocals just perfect for the recording of a particular song. Here, we show you some video clips of us working on “Thanks To Calvary And Amazing Grace.” You won’t hear the whole song, just some parts we are working on. This is where we perfect and learn the song’s vocal arrangements. It is a tedious process but it makes for a great recording and prepares us to “get it right” for actual performances. Singing the song correctly has to become “second nature” for us so when we are singing for you in concert, we can focus on the Spirit rather than the details of singing.
Contest: Name Our CD; Get Your Name in the Insert!
July 8, 2008 – 11:46 am
There are more songs coming, but you’ve heard most of the songs now and we are asking you to help us name the album. Send us your idea for a GREAT title and tell us why you think it’s a good one. We’ll add it to the ideas we already have. We are making this recording for YOU and we sincerely want you involved in helping choose the name of it. We are looking for a title that finds a common theme from all or most of the songs. (We would prefer to NOT use a song title as the album title.) If we choose your idea, we’ll give you credit by printing your name in the CD insert. And feel free to submit more than one idea if you like. You have until noon Friday (EDT) to get your ideas in the contest.
