I will not forget this session- it started off with the amazing GUNA PUNTEL- laying down her violin on "Purple Turtle." It was so special to watch her smile and play and feel her sound flying all around that studio. Thank you, Guna, for your artistry and making my soul stretch.
NEXT- the incredible 5th Grade Choir at Erdenheim Elementary crushed it with their performance of "We All Stand Together" woohoo! ANDREW PUNTEL, their extraordinary choir director, and I cheered them on as they sang! That was crazy fun! Thanks to Erdenheim Elementary for letting these awesome kids have a field trip to come and record a song at Morningstar Studios with me!! www.morningstarstudios.com.
Real quick before I attack you with pictures and videos from the session.... OK, so this new album is all about community and love and lifting each other up and being the best non-perfect beings that we can be. So, Springfield Township is MY community and I knew right away, I want them singing right beside me. As soon as I reached out to Andrew about possibly getting his choir to sing on my new record he was already saying, "YES!" I didn't even send him the song yet! And his beautiful wife, Guna- come on! I am so honored she also agreed to play!! These two beings are pure love and light and made of music in their souls. I am so thankful we are all one big community.
Here are some pics/videos!
