Well, I’ll be the first to admit, as you can see……I’m not a big blogger. To catch you up, I’ve been working on several new songs, and have created male vocal versions for several of my songs, one being “Heaven’s Now My Home” sung by Bobby Kennedy, which is the 2nd most requested CD, right behind “Don’t Cry for Me”. A friend of mine used the analogy that those two songs were “hauntingly similar”. Not sure about the word “hauntingly” , but I have to agree they both are similar, but on the other hand different! It’s funny, but ideas for songs have just been flooding my mind these days. I can be watching a t.v. show and hear a snipped of a conversation, sometimes 2 or 3 words words, and have to stop the DVR to write down song ideas. I drive my husband nuts! He controls the remote and when I hollar out “back that up a minute” he knows exactly what I’m doing. Same thing with radio – I’ve actually learned to use the record button on my IPhone to audibly speak into the recorder to capture ideas for future songs.
My latest song is an upbeat toe tapping original called “Do You Know That You Know”. This song is an example of a divine download. This message just kept presenting itself repeatedly over a period of about a month so I knew a song was brewing. This song has 4 part harmonies mixed in and in case you’re wondering, I’m singing with myself. Tracks are layed on top of each other to create harmony parts. I can hear a male quartet doing this one! I actually heard this saying “Do You Know That You Know” at least 5 times in a one-month span so it was evident God that wanted me to author this newest creation! I love the way God uses me like that – it’s certainly been a life changing experience. I keep getting email requests and phone calls for digital downloads that aren’t up and available yet, so I’ve decided to start creating albums for digital download. I’m working on VOLUME ONE right now which will contain 10 songs for download including “Heaven’s Now My Home”. Hope to have it ready in a week or two. See, I do listen! It’s a bit of a process to prepare an album – I’m actually going back into the tracks for those 10 and remastering them to produce the best mixes I can make as a novice. I’m certainly no engineer but I can see growth from the songs that I wrote in 2009 and 2010. I think back to the late 80’s when I dabbled at writing country music, which I gave up in the early 90’s. Had I not given up the craft for 20 years, I can’t imagine where I’d be with my music today.
By the way, thank you for visiting my site today and please let others know about my music. God gives it to me to share!
Thought you might want to hear the new one – here’s the YouTube Link to “Do You Know That You Know”:
