The CD is here! And we are having a release party!

We finally did it!  The CD is finished and we have them in our hands!   Unlike the first two, we are not actually manufacturing this album but rather we had the CD manufactured by a real-life production company.   But, I (Stephanie) still designed the album art work (in Corel Draw - a totally new sotware package... who knew I was a wannabe graphics designer!).  And as we did with the last CD, "Morgan's Song", the photography is all David's!  The good news is, we are out of the CD production business for this album!  They are all made and ready to be shared with you!

So there was some amount of stress involved in wondering if the CD would look as good as we hoped....  It looks better than we ever dreamed!

Each recording has been a learning experience for us and this was no different.  But as pleased as we are with "Morgan's Song", we feel this CD - "The Wren at the "Window" - is even better!  With this CD, we added more instruments in several tunes that the four of us could play simultaneously!  For instance, Stephanie plays penny whistle and hammered dulcimer on several tracks, David plays guitar and djembe (African drum) on nearly all of the tracks, AND we invited a guest artist, Graham Burris, from Chicago, to play upright bass on all of the tracks.  This allowed us to be even more creative than we are in a live performance and to express our love for this music in many more flavors!  Recording, mmixing and mastering, replicating and designing an album like this is a true labor of love (and time) but now that it has arrived, we are certainly glad we went through the process again.  We hope you enjoy it as much as we did in making it!

To celebrate this CD, we are going to hold our first ever release party at The Looking Glass on March 8th from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm or later!  We really hope all of our fans - the reason we play our music - can come out and celebreate this with us.   We will play tracks from the CD, mingle and sign CDs at your request, and just have a wonderful time with you.   It is a good idea to call the Looking Glas (931-552-6344) to reserve a table and that would help us plan for how many folks attend.  We hope to see you there!
