All I need is the air that I breathe...

... to be fresh air! This is a line in a song rewritten just for the four of us - a group I am SO thankful to be a part of! Standing in this picture are three of the finest vocalists with whom I've ever had the privilege to perform. Rodney is to my left, Lisa and Danny to the right. We were asked to perform for an air and water purification company, Ecoquest, at their 2007 convention in Ohio this summer. We did all kinds of material, including songs the creative department had taken and rearranged to announce the company's new products as well as tunes stating their purpose and message. We mixed a few standards in their as well... blues, rock, country, jazz... you name it. The crowd of over 3000 enjoyed the numerous performances we did over the four-day conference so much, we were asked to return a couple of weeks ago for a quarterly meeting being held in East Tennessee. We had a ball together and have been invited to their Kansas City annual convention next June! Even with four very distinct and unique voices, we are a testament to when one or more are gathered together displaying a genuine love and passion for music and appreciation for one another, the blend cannot be matched.

Making music matter,

I have to send out a HUGE congratulations to Nathan Pugh and Chandler Seal, two of my talented voice students who just learned they made Middle Tennessee's Honors Chorus. Only 120 students out of approximately 500 were chosen from across the region. Nathan is a 6th grader at Lipscomb Middle School, and Chandler - also a 6th grader - is at Goodpasture. Not only do these two have fantastic music ability, they have HUGE hearts as well, making it a pure joy to be a part of their lives. So proud of you two!

Making music matter,
