With a couple of whirlwind days/nights the song “Bridge of Freedom” has made it to completion. This past Thursday found Keith Wilson, long-time friend and musician, in the studio once again laying down a couple of passes on acoustic guitars. Keith has played in a number of bands over the years and always brings excellent skill, ideas and a variety of instruments to any session – and along the way is a joy to work with.

Following those recordings Deb re-sang her vocals and delivered a very fine and passionate performance of the story being told. My friend Allyn came by later in the afternoon and hung around until late as the three of us poured into the extensive mixing which included the skilled orchestration and piano tracks Tim Tyler had delivered earlier. Allyn had a couple of great ideas that were incorporated and while most of you slept the song was delivered electronically to the awaiting recipient. Until it’s all official how the song is being used we’re not spilling the beans yet, but hopefully we’ll able to real soon. The response so far has been overwhelmingly positive and it’ll be great to open the lid for you to hear it.

Debi Erdei has been in and around Tesco Productions a number of times over the years, and most recently recorded the keys and vocal demo of a special song. It’s always encouraging to have a longtime client call again and ask to come by and do another project – small or large. We managed to fit our busy schedules together for the demo recording and it’s off now to the expert musicianship of Tim Tyler for orchestration. I’m very anxious to hear what it turns into – always very nice. There’s been interest expressed for a heartfelt use of this song so we all hope it will work out that way. If it does, I’m sure you’ll hear more about it later on. Thanks for coming in Debi.

Angela Sharman, who finds herself often best expressed through her art, is getting much closer to closing a chapter in her life.  She has patiently written her songs and then found time to come to Omaha and get each one laid down.  The final two rhythm and vocal tracks are completed – aside from some tweaks here and there – and she’s pretty excited to get this accomplished!

Jake again kept us all on beat with his very capable drumming.  We’ll keep you posted as this project totally winds up.

Dad got a little out of hand though, so it was good to have some maturity in the room – or is he just pulling out the ole magic?!
