The pace has been fast and consistent laying down parts and incorporating orchestration for the next production of One For All Musical Theater. What was initially reported as an 18 song project has now expanded to 23, covering a wide range of musical styles and expression. Keith Wilson has laid down a number of acoustic and bass parts, and in addition Tim Tyler has provided many hours of production skills for orchestration and percussion. Nick Swoboda will be in next week for another drum session, and there’s been two vocal recordings so far. It’s a very big project, and it’s good to hear the songs come together to support and tell the story of their next musical.

In March I mentioned the Kopsas were planning to record their third CD at Tesco Productions. There was a pause for a significant family event following the recording, which I hinted at in that same post. We’ve now runoff the initial mix of those songs and our goal is to have the final product done later in June. It promises to be an enjoyable listen as you’ll hear the family “groups” in three stages of ensemble over the years – some now quite older than the previous recordings.
Oh, that significant event? One of the persons in this pic no longer has the same last name.

Once again this month Tesco Productions had the opportunity and responsibility to provide front of house audio engineering in the CHI Health Center Convention Center ballroom. The convention center was host to the annual Home Instead Senior Care international convention and 25th anniversary celebration. It’s always great to reconnect with the staff of Home Instead and the many people working behind the scenes in a huge variety of audio/visual and support positions throughout the week. I continue to be impressed with companies that operate like Home Instead Senior Care and know first hand the value of services provided for an elderly parent in my family, although a company like theirs is not available in that rural area. Until next year.
