My Parents

My parents were here from FL for 10 days. They just left and so now life is starting to get back to normal. I spent 7 hours at my desk yesterday. It was a good visit. I even got to have my Dad come to the studio with me while I recorded vocals in Seattle for my new song "You Are Not Alone" which will be on the 2nd edition of the "Our Catholic Faith" album due to be released this October. I'm also adding new apologetics, changing out songs and including the new version of "Anima Christi" which has the real string players that I hired when doing the "Way of the Cross" album. (I try to get my money's worth.) My Dad hasn't been to a studio with me since I was a teenager in Miami.

We also spent an entire day making meatballs and "gravy" the New York Italian way. They call it "gravy" because you start with the fat renderings from frying the meatballs and/or other meat, just like you would turkey gravy. If you call it "sauce" it's made without meat. But Italians in Italy refer to it either way as a "sauce." Depending on who you are talking to, be careful to get your terms correct. It's just one of those cultural things you get used to with practice. Which ever way you call it, it's Divine!
