Hip, Hip - HOOOORAY!!

I'm doooone! I just recorded my last track. I had all day to record both songs, since I needed to be in the studio for the mixing part too, so we split up the recordings with several hours in between so my voice could rest - it was quaky this morning.

We'll be in the studio for the next few hours while Mark mixes the songs, and then we're doing a little tour of the city slash acting as his photography assistants (he's also a professional photographer) while he does a photo shoot at all the coolest points in town, so that should be neat. We are going to see a replica of the Parthenon at Centennial Park - very, very cool.

Tomorrow morning, Mark will finish mixing the rest of the songs, and then the CD will be DONE! Probably around 11ish he's thinking.

I just finished singing _How Great thou Art_ - it was my grandmother's (on my Mother's side) favorite song, and my Mom requested it be on the CD, so how could I say no! It was well out of my range, and I was trying to channel my voice teacher's words of wisdom. She told me when I was singing songs that were too high, to envision having the song come out of the top of my head, flowing freely out of me. I closed my eyes and visualized just that, and I managed to get through the song. While it's certainly not my best, it's *much* better than I ever could have thought.

K - onto mixing some fun songs. Gotta go!
