 Unloading CD recording equipment in the Rain |
Six sessions — that’s all it took.

| the Mic |
Six grueling, hours-long, standing in place — awaiting the passage of rain, cars, trucks and airplanes — recording sessions.
Everyone was so wonderful — so patient and so forgiving of the hardships of feet and backs. No complaints, no whining, no crying — what an amazing group of people I am so privileged to sing with!

Now, for the truth…
Rex (former Bass) tickles the ivories while we all wait for the downpour to abate
No — I’m kidding — everyone WAS amazing — and we had a ton of fun too.

| Helen, Josee and Paul spend quality time |
 |
| Binders a-waiting |
We arrived each session to St. Barnabas on James street ready to sing our 20 rigorously rehearsed sacred songs over and over — for hours on end.
 |
| Waiting for the rain to stop… |
Our first session was Wednesday evening, May 9 – 6:30 to 9:30 — and we got NOTHING recorded. Nothing usable, unless we decided to change the CD title to
“Relax with the Sounds of Rain on the Roof — (and the Stairwell Carollers)”
