Today is a huge milestone for The Sun Still Rises. We finished putting together the guitar and vocal tracks for all twelve songs. We are all set to go to Lifeword Studios on Tuesday and do a 12+ hour recording session to knock out drums, bass, and electric guitar.

We are still working out details for our cello player, but that should come soon. So the plan now is to record on Tuesday, and spend the rest of the week and part of the following finishing everything before going back to Lifeword to mix.

Today was so satisfying, as we ended on Most Wonderful, the very song we did first. We redid the guitar and vocal, and it turned out much better than before. So it is cool to see the progression and growth as a player through this project. I guess that has to happen when you spend 1/3 of a year on something like this.

Lendell sure deserves a huge thank you for all of his work, as he is so much of the reason this all is coming together. And I am sure we wouldn't be recording at Lifeword without him. So thank you Lendell! Roger GInnett also deserves much thanks, as he is loaning us the money to go into the studio next week. And all of you for your prayers and support. We couldn't have gotten here without you.

It is cool to be at this stage of the game, because for awhile it felt it would never be done. Yet here we are! The biggest thanks goes to God, as he certainly brought all of this together and has confirmed our path.

We still have a lot of final expenses to work out, but by the end of next week the project will be near completion.
