I had an amazing day on Thursday in the Studio, unfortunately I wasn't able to write my blog. Apparently I was on Mommy time-out with my iPad. My son Jimmy felt I needed a break from my communication device lol. I did get it back on Friday, but it just so happens that Iguanas was having Free T- Shirt Friday, and I was on t-shirt distribution duty. Needless to say it was a busy, busy, day. I left around four o' clock to pick up "D" at school, then made a few t-shirt deliveries to friends and family.
While at my Sisters house she was on her way to take her three kids to hip hop dance class and as it turns out one of them just wasn't into it. So she invited "D" to join them. He was more than happy to go, so I went along to watch and see what the program was all about. Sam met us there and we were both incredibly impressed with the program. Seems like a nice fit for our boy. The class was being taught by a dance troop by the name of DS Players. This group of performers are incredible and it was so nice to see these young men and women giving back to the community with their talent! In little over an hour they taught the kids some cool moves that they were able to perform for their friends and family. Absolutely beautiful! From there we went and picked up a pizza from House of Pizza, bought a movie, and were well on our way to an evening of total relaxation. About 3/4's into the movie I had a hankering for some strawberry crepes. Sam called in an order to IHOP's and ten minutes later I was in strawberry, chocolate hazelnut, banana crepe heaven...yum! Well you know after shoveling all of that food into my mouth I wasn't going to write a blog!
Anyways what I really wanted to talk to you about was our Studio session on Thursday. I mentioned how difficult it has been for Sammy & I to both be in the Studio at the same time. Since one of us has to be with baby Rocky, and although we have tried to take him in to hang out with us during our session it's just too soon for our little one to be expected to sit and play quietly. But today was Felice's minimum day so she was able to watch Rocky, leaving Sammy and I free to go into the Studio! It felt great for the four of us to be together again. Sammy, John, Rudy (our camera man) and myself. Seems so natural, we all knew we had to accomplish as much as possible today.
We had two songs on the table that I had been practicing. The first song is titled All About Love, and the second is Intrigue of Night. The first one is about the fruits of the Spirit, and the second is about the love that my husband and I share, both songs are amazing and completely different in style and tempo. So we decided to start with the more challenging song, Intrigue of Night, being that this song speaks more about the intimate aspects of our relationship. It was a little difficult for the boys to hear, but we're all adults and a marriage that has lasted 29 years is something to be celebrated. Sam on the other hand absolutely loves the message of the song, and he was completely swooning when he heard it for the first time. We recorded the lead vocal, no backgrounds necessary, took a short break, then moved onto All About Love.
It just so happened that I was so excited to be in the Studio with the boys, and very well rehearsed, that I was able to record the lead vocal on this song as well. Some background vocals were needed, and John and Sammy went into the vocal booth to knock those out. I gotta say I was relieved not to have sung them because John created some humdinger vocal harmonies! The guys sounded great. So happy we were able to accomplish so much today. Thank you Lord for blessing us once again with the gift of music.
