The Ice Age Song
If you've seen Ice Age, then you probably recognize these creatures as the main characters. My song is unrelated to the film, but I loved this picture - and the animals just happen to be the right species! "The Ice Age Song" is my attempt at consolidating general...
Sunday Singalong: Good Green Earth
After a two-week hiatus, I'm back with a brand new video. It was such a beautiful spring day that I felt inspired to film this one outside, with the help of my wonderful husband. I'm thinking there will be lots more outdoor "Sunday Singalong" videos in the coming...
A Glee-ful Trip Down Memory Lane
Yesterday's post about Glee! got me feeling pretty nostalgic about the "good old days" of high school show choir. So nostalgic, in fact, that I went over to my parents' house and dug out my box of photo albums. I graduated from high school in 2001, the days before...
Friday Fave: Glee!
Who else is with me when I say that Glee just might be the most entertaining show on television right now? Judging from the response I received after posting about the return of Season 1 on my Facebook page the other night, I'm not alone in that sentiment. Hard-core...

Remix: Shaky Colorful Fruit

Inside the Recording Studio: Day 4
Today's recap will be a short one, because I was only in the studio for a little over two hours! On Day 3, we had finished all but vocals for song 9, so I went to the vocal booth to work on those right away.Getting good vocal takes is much easier at 1:00 pm than...
Inside the Recording Studio: Day 3
As I write this recap, I'm getting ready for my final day in the studio. I've spent over 30 hours here, and I'm going to miss this place when I'm finished! Yesterday was a big day, so I'll get right to it.To be honest, I was a little bummed to be missing...
