One major dream fulfilled on the road to realizing the full and final dream. I havent had much in the way of time recently, so my posts have been brief, but I wanted to give some props to the people that are helping me along my road.  So thank you to all the amazing people I’ve met that helped me get a song made of acoustic guitar and samples in garageband… into a full-fledged real song, and then played on the radio!

“The Sound” – Where I recorded Ok, Sarah… a high-class studio that is extremely professional and really brought my music to a place I would of never possible. You can call them at 434-293-5948 if you’re ready to do some recording yourself. This whole experience was the best money I ever spent…

James McLaughlin [The Sound] – Drums, Arragements & Mixing – Insane drummer, with a distinct ear for detail. He hears things I dont even hear myself, its like a super-power. Not only that, he’is a human metronome. I’ve learned so much from him, in the past 6 months… and I’m still learning stuff everytime I walk in the door. I cant wait to push forward with the rest of the songs.

Mark Graham [The Sound] – Bass – Fantastic bassist and awesome engineer. He was the first one I spoke with on my road to a high class production CD. Glad you invited me to The Sound’s open house, buddy.

Brian Chenault – Guitars – Honestly, the best guitarist I’ve ever met, professional and solid.

Grove Miller – Keyboards – His ability to bring the songs to the next level, is amazing and crazy creative.

Emily Thomas – My girl who gave me so much support and time to help me do this, as well as helping me with inital arrangements and Midi work.

My friends – You know who you are, and if I didnt annoy you every 5 seconds with another rendition of the songs… I would of never finished them. I’ve got 6 more to go to finish this CD, please keep showing the patience you have already. A special thanks to Richard Fain and Abe Nelson!

Koli Cutler [WTJU 91.1] – for playing my song on the radio, it was such a surreal experience and I thank you for that.
