I Wish You Knew
We are very excited about this recording and are working very hard to get it out as soon as possible. The next step is mixing and that will begin on January 17.
We are now trying to come up with a title for the CD and we do have a good idea. We will let you know when we decide.
We will keep you informed on our progress with this CD and let you know where you can get a copy soon.
