A dream that began when I was about ten or eleven. When I was a kid you needed a record company to make a record. Not too many of them were supporting the idea of a child recording. Oh there were a few but \u2026 So, it took me a long time. I recently came across a <strong>1983<\/strong> interview &nbsp;for the <u>LA Daily News.<\/u> The very last line says, \u201c<em> her dream is to record. \u201c<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Today there are many artists who are self-produced or artists who have begun their own record companies to cut out the middle man. Anyway, I was sixty when I made &nbsp;HERE\u2019S TO LIFE, followed by IT\u2019S ALWAYS YOU, and a few years ago, at 73, I made a third <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/lainiesvoice\/1-lazy-afternoon\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">THE MUSIC IS THE MAGIC<\/a>. I paid for most of it myself but also was supported by good friends. There may still be another one to come. We\u2019ll see.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The thing about recording is that it lives forever as what happened in that moment. Yes, you can go in and rerecord vocals and you can mix and edit but it\u2019s what happens in the moment. That lesson is not lost on me. The Music is the Magic was recorded in one day and&nbsp; is almost all first takes \u2013 vocals as well as instrumentals. If the magic isn\u2019t there so be it. The other recordings had two days and re records of the vocals and have a different energy because of that.<\/p>\n<p>And I have been blessed to work with incredible musicians. All of them world class with incredible discographies and international reputations.&nbsp; I have recorded with Tedd Firth, David Lahm, Dick Shreve, Bob Maize, Paul Kreibich, Cameron Brown, Luques Curtis, Matt Wilson, Ralph Peterson, Jr. Joel Frahm, Joey Morant, Tabari Lake, Marvin Horne, Roland Barber and Myron Walden. If they are not familiar to you \u2013 look them up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The first CD was recorded in New York and Los Angeles. I wanted to be sure that the LA experience was part of that first one. The second was recorded totally in New York and the third was actually recorded in New Jersey . With five years in between projects the musicians are mostly the musicians I was gigging with mostly tunes that we had done at a gig.&nbsp; But not all \u2013 There are a few tunes that outside of the rehearsal for the session are having their first time being sung by me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Whether I am in front of an audience or in a recording studio, I believe I &nbsp;sing because of the joy it brings me to stand in the middle of all that music. To be a part of the music, of the musicians making the music. To be able to express oneself in that way is one of the greatest blessings of my life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[aesop_gallery pslightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; galleryType=&#8221;thumbnail&#8221; id=&#8221;184&#8243;] [aesop_gallery id=&#8221;0&#8243;] It took me many many years, but finally I fulfilled my dream of recording.
