20 Beautiful Children Update

12/28/2012

0 Comments

 
Today, I have been in contact via email and telephone with several charitable organizations in the Newtown, CT area.  I am working to finalize partnership between our project and charitable group(s) I will designate to receive donations generated by downloads of the song.  The video is close to completion, and we are excited to let everyone hear and see what we've made!  

Monday will be the day.  I'll post any news this weekend, but keep your ears and eyes open for a Monday release, then get ready to share and encourage your friends to do the same as they greet the new year.

Thanks to everyone who's "Like'd" Shinyhead Music on Facebook and shared news on this project with your contacts.  Your faith and support in this project has really been inspirational to me.

-Dave

Editing the children's solos

I just finished editing all the kids solos and the choir for the end of the song. So far, my emotions have been at bay when performing or listening, with a few exceptions. Listening to these extraordinary young people sing was very emotional. Thanks to all who performed yesterday!
