In July I received a call from Tom Mullally in Le Mars, IA inquiring about singing a couple of songs to Country tracks. It turns out I likely was within just feet of Tom and/or his wife in Le Mars more than once when I ate at their Lally’s Eastside Restuarant while attending the National Traditional Country and Old Time Music festival when the late Bob Everhart was hosting it in that city.
One of the songs we recorded was The Family Bible. The track was well done and so it gave us a good palette for laying down his vocal takes. It didn’t take very many and the end result turned out quite well – so well that in September he earned Gold and Platinum Disc Awards from Airplay Express. I just recently heard about it from Tom. The award was given for Worldwide Radio Release through Airplay Express. You can view the promo here on youtube. Tom also released The Family Bible along with Music as an EP on CD. Congratulations Tom for a job well done and for sharing the important message of this song – we need more family Bibles reminding us how to live.
