My Own Worst Enemy

John and Shelly walked out of the recording studio today with a long last "Whew! It's not easy to record your own voice," suggested John. Can you imagine how you would feel if you had to stand in a recording room by yourself and listen with headphones. Sound easy? Actually, they suggest it's much easier to sing in front of a crowded room. The interaction creates energy. Staring at a wall almost traps you and your mind. Shelly feels this is was the easiest recording session yet she can still pick apart a song.

Of course, we know most of us are there own worst enemies. John and Shelly criticized each vocal line but the average person will be thrilled with the overall sound. The recording studio suggested they make an album and not just use it as a demo. In the very near future, they will upload a couple of the tracks so you can take a listen.

Adele's having it herway!


We've been singing at Adele's since February of this year and for that we are very greatful. She is the owner as well as being one of the biggest hearts on the face of the earth. Might I say, she is no one to kick around either.

Her favorite song for John to sing is "My Way". She will pull up her chair to the stage. So cute! I believe her father used to sing that to her and she cries every time. It's great that we can bring back the beautiful memories with song, don't you think? How wonderful is it that it takes it right back to that moment with smells and feelings we'll never forget.

My mother was sick for awhile but bringing her to hear John sing left all her worries at home. She always commented how music took all her worries and pains away. Isn't that a blessing as well?

Music is very interesting to me. There are very few songs in the world that are the same. I keep wondering how so many musicians can keep coming up with more music. Of course, we are partial to the old stuff because it was the best of the best and everyone else learned from it but none the less, there is always a new sound that melts like butter in our ears.

Well, we hope you come on down to Adele's this Friday. We'll be gone next week on the 25th but we'll be back again October 3rd. See you all soon!
