Update from Alison

Mike and I did some recording this weekend in his home studio. We re-did the tracks for his original song "Little White Bird", so I could try a few new things on the cello. We also tried out our version of the old swing tune "Let's Fall in Love". It's in a nice brisk tempo, and I added some scatting, which we don't have in any of our recorded songs so far. I have a lot of fun doing that song, so I hope our listeners catch my vibe. Lastly, we recorded Mike's next original tune, called Just Take Your Time. This is a wonderful, easy going song, with lyrics that remind us to stop and remember everything life has to offer. This is a great tonic for the tough economic times we are going through here.
This week we are going to go out and play on the street in my hometown of Royal Oak. We did this last year in a neighboring town, and it was fun. Gives us a chance to give some of our songs a reality check!
All this is leading up to the fact that we will soon have the 10 songs we need to issue our full CD as a digital download. So watch for more details to come soon on that subject...
