RANDY'S THOUGHTS ON THE NEW CD
I am feeling the need to mostly congratulate Clarence Treat for his brilliant sweetening with the use of the real NCM voices and Jason Barney for excellent juggling of parts, perfecting of notes, and making this recording one of the best Christmas music offerings I have ever heard. I love the songs, naturally, that comes with the territory. I'm biased, but even if I hadn't manufactured these ditties, I would respect what they are saying and the BEAUTIFUL and EXCITING way each story is told. I've elimiated the explanation of each solg from the liner notes, and I fully expect folks from all around the world to ask what the songs are about. I have heard the enhanced recording for the first time just tonight, and I am THRILLED beyond belief. Great! Cheers! RS
