Lullaby 2day

Hi there, today went a little differently than I thought it would. First of all if you read yesterday's blog than you know there was an electrical problem that needed to be repaired. So Sam told me he would call me and let me know when he was ready for me. He called around 10:00 am to tell me come in at 1pm, I became so nervous. You see I'm a very structured type of person, which means I like a formatted plan and schedule. So to be on call was nerve-racking for me. Then at around 11:30 he said come at 1:30, I hadn't seen the studio conversion and quickly realized this is gonna be televised. Do I need extra makeup, hair up or down, what will I look the slimmest in, I know silly right. I did the best I could, called Senny to watch Dusty and I was out the door.

Well talk about amazing. Now I know technology is amazing when it works and a pain when it doesn't! We were somewhere in the middle, because all the video portion of the streaming worked but the audio did not. The studio looked amazing, real pro with the added lights, and cameras. I arrived around 1:30 ready to work. But as it turns out the equipment was not participating.

While they worked on the settings, Samuel, John, and I had a good time chatting. It's funny because sometimes you look around the room and everyones on some kind of mobile device. Had we known, I wonder what we would have thought of ourselves 15 or 20 years ago. I don't even think I would have believed it (very Star Trekky) but here we are. Sam decided we would go ahead with handheld mics. instead of headsets. We all thought sure why not, we're here, we can wing it.
We basically just sat like a talk show format, passed the mic around and discussed the project. Then John had an idea for a song, went to the keyboard, Samuel picked up his guitar, I grabbed a tablet and pen, and we were on our way to creating our first song. Seemed so natural. After laying down a track, we took a short break and when we came back in we wrapped up the format of the song. This way if I needed to add more words I could work on that at home. We were finished by around five. John and Rudy were off to see Toy Story 3, Samuel and Senia had a movie party to attend, I was watching Rocky, and Sam and Alim were going to work on the system. It was something new and different but, I had a great time!

Although we couldn't stream it live today all the magic was captured on hard drive and we will be posting it soon so you can view it! You will be able to see a special moment when I read the lyrics of the song to Samuel and he got all choked up when I told him Rocky was my inspiration.

These are the words: Hush Lil' Darlin'
Don't you cry
Sing you a song
It's a lullaby

Precious moments
We hold dear
Don't cry baby
Mama's near

Your in my <3
Your in my soul....

Talk to you tomorrow <3 Lizzi
