New Music Happenings

I've had two new advancements to my music endeavors that'd I' like to share :-) First, my blog has been "moved" to my music website - http://www.psalmstriss.com/. If you click on the home page, there's a link on the left side called "My Blog." Creative title, isn't it? But then again, if you're reading this, you probably already found that out :-) If you're on blogger, can you go to my psalmstriss site and read it? That is where blogger is supposed to redirect it. In case you're wondering why, I'm trying to get more hits on my psalmstriss website, so that's why the blog is over there.

Second, after trying to troubleshoot a slight problem on my blog, I realized I had never checked to see if the Rainstorm CD I had sent to CD Baby had made it to digital distribution - aka, made it to iTunes yet or not. So, off I went to iTunes, found the search option, and typed in my name...and found that the Rainstorm CD is on there! Woo-hoo!

So, that's where I'm at now in my musical adventure! Now enough talk, and time for a picture. Well, we just got back from a weekend trip to the shore. It is so beautiful down by the water. In fact, I shall post a picture of the absolute beauty of the bay... thanks for taking the pic, Katie!

It's Been Awhile...

It's been awhile since I last posted on here...so now I'm finally getting around to it :-) I'm starting to get back into my music world, so that's a good thing - gives me things to post about. Last night I was at the home of good friends of ours, the "J's," who have an awesome piano! I was able to record 4 songs there. It just inspires me to redo all my songs; but that takes a long time. All the recording, editing, and mixing take awhile. I wish I could just do everything perfectly the first time, but, alas, it doesn't always happen that way.

I suppose I should post about the story behind another one of my songs. but before that, which will be another post, there should really be some pictures on here. So, I shall post about last night.

This is the "studio" where I recorded at our friends' house. This piano is so neat! It can harmonize a voice into different parts. I love that feature.




And of course, if one is up in the area, no outing is complete without a visit to the two most adorable little men: C & E.



This is "C" on the go, as you can see, unless it's the camera quality (this was taken on my phone). Little man played shy when he saw me, until I picked him up. Then he wouldn't let me put him down to pick up "E" when he started crying. So we played, and we pushed a few cars across the floor. I also deflected an object that went flying from his hands in the direction of little "E's" face. All in all, it was a great night :-)
