I finished my Christmas CD and made a new page for it. I hope you enjoy at least a part of it. At a minimum check out the two vocal songs by the Grace Girls - 4 and 5 part harmonies (very talented ladies) and the 2 bonus tracks. This is my first 'web release' of a CD. It's free.

If you have any comments let me know either here or PM me.

The entire project for 7 new tracks lasted 4 evenings. I had one more day (today) to create the web page and artwork. Most of the songs were tracked in one take (and although you can tell it sounds somewhat refreshing and real). One of the songs features 4 girls age 5-11, a first for me. They couldn't all remember the words. They were a hoot.

As an experiment I mixed the 7 songs (not the 2 bonus tracks) without any compression or limiting. I just rode the faders. I'm quit happy with the dynamics using this approach although a small amount of compression is needed in a few places. I liked this approach enough to practice it some more.

No mastering was performed, time was over.
