  • The final graphics for the cover and label of the CD

As a special side note from the show, Inside Home Recording [Update: As of 2013-11-26 the website isn’t reachable] is a Website/Podcast I just found that I wish I had found about three months ago. I’ve only had the opportunity to skim it, but it looks to be full of great information for anyone doing recording at home, whether it’s music or a podcast, take a look, I know I will.

Episode 034 – Day 43 – The Amazing Growing Blog Entry

12:45pm Well, as promised, I’m making this entry from the road on my way to Luxemburg, WI to play at the Northbrook Country Club tonight.

I’m starting to see the results of some of timing of the project and how some of my choices are working out. 2:27 pm Out of the six songs I’ve recorded, three are getting ‘airplay’ on podcasts, with Deck the Halls being the most played, followed by both We Three Kings and The Coventry Carol. 3:05 pm I thought that We Three Kings would have been the one to be played the most, but it really doesn’t make much difference which song is being played the most as long as they’re being played, right? And the fact that half of the songs that are available are being played means that the songs are appealing to a wide variety of tastes, which is a great thing. And I get feedback, like Molly’s comment on the podcast. you just can’t beat good planning.
