Taking the Plunge!

Great news! We have finally completed the post-production work for our CD, Drive The Cold Winter Away. Last week we had our final mixing session. Everything sounds lovely! After mixing we had gourmet meal of pizza, Michael's excellent English flapjack (not to be confused with American flapjacks) and cake. With our CD playing in the background, it really felt like a Christmas party, only there were yellow and reddish brown leaves on the trees outside instead of snow. :)

Mom took the master copy of our CD to Superdigital (the place in charge of reproduction) today, and the graphics - after crazy last-minute changes on text for the CD jacket - are ready to go as well. We're so close up against deadlines it is scary. But when I think about the 1,000 copies of the CD getting made, I get excited. (I also wonder where we're going to put all those between the time we get them and the CD release concert!)

We are now preparing for the CD Release Concert, which is, I think, the funnest part of all. It will be held in Gladstone Christian Church's Community Hall as before. We'll play all the music from the CD, as well as some additional music for the enjoyment of all! See below for more information. We hope to see many of you there!

Onward to the release!
