Incredible, amazing day in the studio and we accomplished so much. I had been practicing with the cd's that the guys had made for me. Of course they had my scratch vocal, some parts John even sang so I could learn the melody. This made it very convenient for me to practice whenever I had time at home. I felt very confident with the lead, but I knew John would have me do background, harmonies, and add libs. This made me slightly nervous because I knew it would be on the spot (something I hadn't practiced), and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sing the parts. As usual the guys put me at ease, they set me up in the sound booth, had me sing along with the scratch vocal I had laid down - I couldn't believe how the words just flowed out. I wasn't at all worried about remembering the lyrics, since I had practiced them thoroughly. We got a great lead vocal, then moved on to background vocals.
If I didn't have to leave to get Felice to work at 4 o'clock we would have finished the song. Oh well, tomorrow we will complete this song. And if time allows we will move on to the other song. This was a monumental moment for me, it feels like we have all put our heart and soul into this project, but I'm sure every artist feels like that. I am giving this project my all, so I celebrated this evening by eating my delicious Rocky Road candy bar. Gonna try and get a good night sleep, so I can be fresh, and ready to go tomorrow. Thank you all again for all the encouraging messages and for coming along on my amazing journey.
