Album Project Update

UPDATE 2: Seriously distracted (in a good way) by new Huber banjo. Completely enjoying the new instrument.  Gotta go play. Bye!

UPDATE: I've been busy in the studio and "Resonance" is almost done.  As it stands now, the album will have a total of 17 tracks, 14 of which are completed leaving only 3 more to record! I'm really excited about this project and am pleased with how it's coming out.  The end is in sight!!!

Thanks to all of you who have gently nudged me over the past year or so inquiring about the status of my album.  I truly appreciate your interest and enthusiasm.  Like most everyone, life can get busy to the point where there's little time left for creative endeavors.  That has been the case for me for the past year but I'm happy to report that things have settled down and I've refocused my attention on recording and completing the CD.  I have a handful of originals and some arrangements that I'm looking forward to adding to the collection of existing recordings. I'm feeling that I might be able to call it "done" at that point.

The title of the CD will be "Resonance"

The definition of this word sums up what I try to achieve with my music:

​res.o.nance​ ​(rez'e'nens)

1. Richness or significance, especially in evoking an association or strong emotion.

2. Intensification and prolongation of sound, especially of a musical tone, produced by sympathetic vibration.

I think that does it for now.  I'll post more updates as I progress.

Thanks,

- Ric
