The Making Of...

As I'd mentioned before, Jason is recording his first album. And, I'd been requested to sing some backup vocals...not because I'm a singer, but because I'm cheap. Or free, even. :)

The first time he wanted to record he just dropped an unknown song on me and I was too embarassed to just sing right then. So we decided in advance that last night would be the night. Then I had time to prepare and couldn't just tell him I wasn't much feeling like it. Hee hee. He's smart that way. He knows me.

After the boys stopped all their bedtime mischief (Dalton!) we got to work in the basement studio:

A little less hi-tech than you were expecting? :)

Here I am belting out my "Oooooooooooooh"s We-Are-the-World style:

Yes I put up my hand on the headphone just for the picture...I'm funny that way:

Jason was very complimentary but he has to be. :) His album will hopefully be finished this fall...but how much does he love me for being such a nice wife?

That's our cheeseball "couples" photo from the annual Father's Day family portrait session. It's on our dresser in our bedroom but it's not like we sent it to family and have to wait for them to see it before I can put it up on the blog.

There are some others but you'll have to wait till the middle of next week or so for them to arrive at their destination before I can put them up here.

Anyway, there's a little more to your visit behind the scenes if you're interested, and I can't believe I'm sharing this. Partly because I'm singing all by myself, you can't even hear the music and partly because oh my gosh, how gigantic is my belly?!?! I'm hoping it's largely because of the angle of the shot(s). Scary!!! I deserve every one of those "You're pretty big for __ weeks" comments if this is how I always look. Yowsa!

Oh....yeah....I was getting to the clip... It's the only non-Jason S-original on the album:


Both those harmonies are me in the back ground there. I'm not sure if he's keeping them both but for now what you can hear in that second vid is jus' me. :)

Sing it sister! You've got way more courage than I do...and sound better too :) The only reason anyone would want me to sing is if it was for a funniest home video entry. I can't wait to hear the finished product.
