What do I think?

As chairwoman of the music committee, let me just tell you - all the way home, 11:30 pm on icy roads, I was literally dancing in my car, swerving all over the road!
The mix is fabulous, everyone is well-represented, and the order reflects the thoughtful, loving hand of the producer and director who have shepherded us through the wilderness to the very edge of The Threshing Floor. Although we have all gotten many sneak previews of pieces from Will, I feel very privileged to have had this first glimpse at our magnum opus. Like every bootlegged copy, there is a mix of the rough (ruff?) and the smooth, but we're almost there - from what I have heard, we can all wrap our arms around each other at Shabbat Shirah and say a heartfelt Sheheyanu together.

It is truly a blessing to sing with all of you.
lovingly,
Ellie

Home stretch

It's been a couple of exciting, busy days! As snow was falling yesterday afternoon, Jonathan Hillyer was photographing Laurie Price's papercuts for the cd cover. Can't wait to see them.
Sarah Zaslaw, Avrum Weiss and Rabbi Josh were hard at work writing some copy for the cd and after many edits and little corrections, finally the cd copy was ready to sent to Laurie for creative lay-out.
Will is on a rock cruise playing bass.... working - uh huh. But he has taken his lap-top and is actually doing some mixing while he is on a boat to Cozumel, crazy i know.
by mid-January cd art and copy and the mastered mixes will be on their way to the duplicator and be ready in time for our CD launch on SHABBAT SHIRAH!! Go team CBH!!
Want to know a secret: Ellie McGraw has the only boot-leg non-mixed complete copy of the Threshing Floor with the song order as it will be on final version. So, Ellie what do you think?
