Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend. We lucked out in that my brother Shaun was in town to show his film in the 1st Annual Ferndale Film Festival. He has a film about his family's trip to Africa in the festival. Shaun is a professional photographer, so we grabbed a camera (courtesy of my brother Darin) and shot a music video for Cello-bella.
To round out the sound, we asked our friends Ron Ellman (violin) and Craig Strain (electric bass) to join us. Another lucky stroke was that Craig's home studio wasn't booked since it was a holiday weekend, so we had a space to play in and record a good audio track. We decided to do the song Sugar Moon, since it's good for strings, and we know it well. Ron was playing with us for the 1st time, but he's an experienced jazz violinist so he just jumped in, and did a great job. Our friend Keith Nelson engineered the record, so Craig could be freed up to play the bass.
I posted the video on youtube, and I've embedded it here. Still waiting for my order to be processed for our digital album, but it should be ready next month.
Best,
Alison
