Fun, Fun!

Well, this past week had to be one of the funnest weeks ever. If you enjoy music as much as I do, then, you understand why it was a blast. Getting to work with Gus Gaches was a great experience. He was a wonderful vocal coach and had the uncanny ability to criticize in a way that never seemed to be critical. He had a positive approach to every instruction. Which made us really want to be better. There were a few moments I'm sure he found himself wondering what in the world he had gotten himself into, but nevertheless, he pulled the entire show off with great grace. I, personally, could not have had his job - everyone insisted that their opinion count - but ultimately, he called all the shots.

In case I forgot to mention, Gus Gaches is the tenor singer for Legacy Five - the branch of old Cathedral members. Scott Fowler and Roger Bennett started that group after Cathedrals disbanded. Roger Bennett died a while back, but Scott continues to run a tight ship from all accounts. Great group.

I am at work, so at the moment, I am unable to post new pictures. I will do that either tonight or tomorrow night to show you all the fun we had.

There are many, many pictures posted on Gregg's site (in case you didn't see his comment on the previous post) that can give you a rundown of everything we did in the studio while we were there. He kept a very updated site while we were there for the sake of the choir members who couldn't go....and for his sake. I think he probably wanted to be there worse than anybody. I can't think of any two individuals who love Gospel music more than those two Miles boys. They eat it, breathe it, sleep it......maybe you get the point. So, between Jeana, Jeremy, and myself, we kept Gregg informed on a half hour basis. And his blog was updated every few minutes, I do believe. In between recording sessions, we'd slip out and get online to see if he'd put the new pictures up - and sure enough - he had.

So, if you want to check it out - www.2miles-gregg.blogspot.com. It will show you everything you might want to know and more. I will link it when I get home. This work computer won't allow it to work correctly.
