On Saturday, May 7th 48 students traveled to Nashville, TN to record 8 songs at Starstruck Studios, a world class recording studio owned by Reba McEntire.

A big thanks goes out to the following people:

Brian Anderson, Josh Cole and Morgan Asher...what can I say, these guys worked 24 hours straight and took care of business. They made the trip enjoyable and successful. I can't thank them enough!!!

Kristin Agee for arranging the percussion part and lending us her instruments: www.kristinagee.com

Dean Wallace, for lending us his Gibson Johnny Smith archtop guitar.

Tom and Nick Inglin for their fantastic photos which were used in the credit sequence of the video.

Dan Agee, for an incredible mix!

Steve Nagasaki, for mastering: www.nagasakisound.com

Todd Tidwell and Aaron Kasdorf, the engineers who kept the session relaxed and productive despite the long hours. The students can't wait to work with them again.

And of course to all the parents for making this trip possible. My students are very lucky to have parents who are so supportive.

Note: I am looking for cameramen, photographers and video editors to help out on future projects. The amount of work to create these videos is daunting, so any help would greatly appreciated. Please contact me if you are interested in getting involved (we do have money in our budget for these services). Our future sessions will most likely occur in Cincinnati, OH and Nashville, TN.
