Recording my with Daughter

Today has been one of the best days of my life. We wrapped four days in the recording studio working on a CD titled "Lullay My Sweet One," which included my daughter as one of 10 singers and four instrumentalists. The opportunity to create this beautiful music with her, watching her grow, singing with adults and blending and attending to details like a real pro, was one of the happiest days I can recall. Everyone we worked with was superb, musical, emotional, sensitive, and so terrific to partner with in this project. Above all, Shira Kammen has been an amazing inspiration: first agreeing to do this project, selecting repertoire, arranging pieces I had heard, conducting and making us into an ensemble, coaching the instrumentalists, making all of us sing more beautifully than ever, encouraging us and inspiring us to do better each time. She is truly amazing. I am so proud that Madeleine had the chance to work with Shira on this project. And even if we never sell more than say 100 Cds, I will be completely happy for having done this project together.
