Christmas Songs, coming along!!!!

Well, we are still working on our Christmas songs. Here it is April 2010 and we are still adding songs when we can. Life has been so busy that we've not been able to record consistantly for a few weeks. I've had many other projects going on with the 40 Somethin Band, Callie Trane's dynamic and absolutely stunning work, Little Mary Rovig's big huge voice for her Jr Miss Pagent, and some solo stuff. Seth with his website and book and his lessons for some other guitarists that he is teaching, has kept him busy too.

We'll change up the songs to the left here soon.

We want to thank all of you who have made such kind and encouraging comments to us about our music. We sincerely enjoy the accolades and words of affirmation. Somehow we'll be able to sell this music. The reality is, we do it because we love the music and the magical sounds that come from playing with eachother is payment enough. If nothing else, it's a legacy for our children and grandchildren. they tend to be our biggest fans!! But, thanks to all of you friends out there for listening and keep encouraging us, PLEASE!!! ha ha ha

Recording Christmas Songs!!!!

Seth and I have been recording Christmas songs to go along with our Hymns. These songs are not all of the religious nature that our hymns are. There will be popular tunes on there and maybe even an original or two. Time will tell. So far we have 4 in the bag and we'll have more weekly as we record through the spring.

Hope this New Year is the best for all of you.

A Touch of Looking Back here!!!

Seth called us a while back and asked if we, the three of us comprising the Looking Back Band, would play the Fair at the Food Court Stage on Wednesday the 9th. It was an absolute joy playing the great old songs that the three of us grew up with all over again. The crowd seemed to really enjoy the 3 part vocal harmonies and all the guitar work that we presented. Mostly, I think it was the old magic of the three of us playing again that made it so pleasant.This post really doesn't have to much to do with The Callister-Perez Project but, it was some mighty fine pickin and singing and I feel it is worthy to put here.

We are Taking Suggestions!!!!

So, Seth and I are recording again after a short and brief few weeks off. We were wondering if those of your who may be browsing and snooping around the blog might want to suggest some of your favorite primary hymns for us to record. Please, give us some of your favorites and we'll see about getting them recorded.

I can't wait to see what you all suggest.

Four New Songs to the Left!!!!!

We've been working hard every week to record songs for the new CD of Primary tunes. Included to the left of these posts are some of the new ones.

I can't say enopugh about how enjoyable this project is turning out to be. In fact, it has been a huge help to me as even I just turned on my computer and listened to the music that Seth & I have made and it helped through some stressful times here in my business. If nothing else, these tunes will serve as DE-STRESSORS!!!!

There is a very calming spirit to the music. Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.
