    Hi all,

    Sorry I haven't posted in a while. It's been a rough year. I lost my mother and my daughter. This seemed like an appropriate song to record:



    I believe that my phrasing and overall dynamics are improving. Let me know what you think.

    Thanks,
    Bruce

    I hope you're doing as well as one can after such experiences.

    How did you record it? Close mic in a sound-dead room?

    Did you sing all parts? Some are incredibly high!

    Thanks for the compliments. It is me singing all the parts. I'm about 6 inches from the mic in my not-so-quiet basement room. On the very high notes, I'm pitch shifting a couple of steps to get there. Also on the very low notes. Support from forums like this have inspired me to persist in my efforts. The CEO of a leading classical record company actually wants me on his label! Not bad for a 61 year old who has never had a single voice lesson!

    Thanks again,
    Bruce
    P.S. I'll keep you guys posted as events develop.
