Busy, busy, busy

Yes, school has started (we homeschool) and my October traveling schedule is in full swing. I've been up til 2:00 almost every night, but now I got a cold and have been going to bed 8:30. Getting better quick. I have to, because while I can still give a good concert with a cold, I cannot give a primo vocal performance in the studio for a recording session and will have to postpone the last vocal installment in NY if I am not in tip tip condition.

I am considering hiring more than just a string quartet for the new album as many of the songs are huge, power tunes and the stations toward the end will require ONLY orchestra with vocal. (Think "Andrea Bocceli) So, we are considering a 30-40 piece orchestra for about 6 of the songs. This will cost an additional $5000 to my budget. I think it is absolutely necessary and am trusting that God will provide, since this is His project anyway. I'm just the facilitator. The project is completely on schedule. Funds are in as quickly as they are needed - not ahead, but not behind either. I hope my orchestra doesn't put me behind, but even if it does, I am so confident that the Lord will provide in a timely manner. This experience has been very enlightening. The Lord wants me to SING.

Concerts for Lent have not filled up yet. They usually come in last minute. I hate that. So much stress in promotion. Please let me know now if you are interested in an "Our Catholic Faith" concert at your parish for Lent 2011 or a Mary/Rosary themed concert in May. You can visit www.donnacorigibson.com/CatholicConcerts.html for my schedule.

Gotta go. English to do...
