It's been a long road just to get to the start, but today was finally Day 1 of recording for my little songwriter album. Day 2 will be whenever I've saved up some more money. Meanwhile, I'm very grateful to the incredibly accomplished musicians who generously agreed to come play for me today.

Pictured (L-R) are Matt McKenzie (upright and electric bass), Catherine Marx (piano), band leader Mike Waldron (acoustic guitar and banjo), me (underwhelming vocals), Rusty Danmyer (pedal steel) and Billy Thomas (drums).

Thanks, too, to our engineer, Jim DeBlanc, our host studio, Beaird Music Group, Inc., and everyone in my life who, in some way, has been supportive of me doing this album. That includes the two sweet Nashville friends who teamed up and surprised me with a cash donation for Christmas--I'll never forget that.
