  An awesome day Posted on March 26, 2009 by Bob Merrick Sorry things have been so quiet here the la...An awesome day
  Posted on March 26, 2009 by Bob Merrick
  Sorry things have been so quiet here the last few days, I was up in San Francisco on business (non-DG related). But with that said, I stopped by the studio yesterday to see how things were going with the recording bootcamp and am excited to report back what I found! First off, I missed some of the others, but while I was there, I got to watch Kaleigh Jo and Kasey working on their songs and they were so insanely talented that I had chills listening to them sing. Kaleigh Jo has a song on her myspace right now called "My Smile" and I definitely recommend a listen! http://www.myspace.com/kaleighjokirk. Also, check
  out Kasey's songs over at http://www.myspace.com/kaseyiaeger. They are currently in the studio working with Deborah on some new original music and to call it impressive is an understatement. I am always amazed at how a young heart can sing the from the depths of an old soul when given the opportunity.
