This was a short video of the final song we were rehearsing to record for the CD. We called in the super talented Anna Broesche to add her vocal touches to a verse. Everyone got a verse to sing in the song, so we captured a really special moment in time that we’ll all remember!

The new working title, which I expect to be the band name and documentary name, is “The Shaw Twins.” The twins used this name when they performed in the mid 1900′s. We’re gaining momentum on funding and project development! The new DBA is setup and ready to roll- “Blind Monk Productions,” is the new moniker. I’m taking bids on Logo designs right now. Please be sure to check back often as updates are coming on a regular basis. I’ll start adding more photos in the next few days!

Blind Monk Productions is being set up on Tuesday, April 27th, 2010. This DBA is being setup under the Blind Monk Music umbrella as a direct result of The Twins project. This will become the primary business under which the Blind Monk names will operate.

I’ve got a great Lawyer on board, named Jason Sims, who has a passion for the music and entertainment business. As I write this I’m sitting at Onion Creek Production’s studio talking with the filmmakers about scheduling, ideas, processes, and prices… Prices…
I’m looking into archived recordings of the Twins from KAND radio, and we’re trying to track down any footage from the past. Additionally, I’m looking into grants and funding.

We just finished recording the project for the Twins- working title, “Surrounded by Angels.” This project will be a full length CD which will have between eight and twelve songs with interview/documentary style elements intertwined. The Twins are two of the most lovely women I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. They’re 78 years old and have been singing together for the last 70 years. It’s the perfect, classic unsung heroes story. I’m so happy that Joe, Conrad, Frank, Kent, Gin and Fran could all make it to my studio to be a part of what I think is my most meaningful project to date.
Friday Night's Rehearsal for the recordings on Saturday, April 17th, 2010.

Finally- I’ve Internet access, and I’m working on downsizing the desk and selling some monitors off to trade for a better studio desk. I’ll get some photos up soon!

The move has finished- things are everywhere and the studio is about half setup now. I still am waiting for AT&T to get Internet access running at the new place, so things might be quiet around here for a few days. I’ll post photos as things get more in order!!!
Hope you’re all happy, well, and enjoying the holidays!
