This past week I again had the privilege of running audio in the main ballroom of the CenturyLink Center in Omaha. It was the annual international convention for Home Instead Senior Care, headquartered in Omaha. It’s always good to be warmly greeted by the Home Instead office staff and meet up with “the old crew”. It takes a bit to update myself on operating the console I only see once a year, but it’s soon underhand and we try our best to provide a flawless presentation for the attendees.
Each year I come away with a renewed sense of how much I appreciate the mindset and service of Home Instead Senior Care. They are a highly respected leader in providing in-home care for our seniors who would rather be home than living in a nursing care facility. There’s education, interaction and celebration during the event, and spring made a pretty good showing this year so we could walk between the venue and hotels – which was definitely welcome after our extended winter.

In another article posted in March I reported on Silvia Roblero’s second project being recorded at Tesco Productions. Well there was more to come, and three of those songs now have harmony parts added by two friends. Those friends happen to be sisters and in two sessions we laid down additional parts on three of her songs. One of those is a medley of several older hymn arrangements so there were more than three songs actually. Those parts were a nice enhancement and will make an even greater listening experience. The files were sent to her producer who does the final mixing and steps to release.

Last month I posted an article about Stephanie Wilcox recording several songs – most of them to keyboard accompaniment, and now the recording is complete. Stephanie came by with their church worship leader who accompanied her on acoustic guitar to put down the final song. It’s a nice addition both musically and for its lyrics. When we get the mixing, final touch-ups and minor mastering done we’ll all be able to get the CDs made and to those waiting to hear. Stephanie has licensed the songs requiring it through Easy Song Listening. This company makes the process very easy and affordable, and they quite often run specials that make the cost even lower. I know Stephanie is looking forward to having this music release out as well.
