A late Happy 4th

I've been terrible at keeping this blog update, but I will attempt to do a better job in the future. Since I last posted my Mother in Law purchased for me a professional studio recording microphone. I only had to make a few major upgrades to one of our computers. That being said I am now the proud owner of my very own production studio. I now have no reason to finish my CD. I have been working hard to get this project finished. I have scrapped the original content and have started over. I have managed to get all of the music only converted and put on to the computer. The software is state of the art and does much more than I'll ever know how to use. But I promise that I will be spending every free moment working on the project so I can get it over with. So many people (AKA my mother) is wanting it done yesterday. So I will try to put in some overtime in the next few weekends to get it finished.

Not much else to report right now, but I will try to blog again in the very near future.

Weddings and Birthdays

Yesterday Saturday June 21st my brother got married. It was a nice ceremony held at his mother and father in laws home. We took some nice pictures and had a nice time. Are you sitting down? I ate not 1 but 2 pieces of cake. Of course I had to spend 2 hours on the bike last night, but that's ok.

Next Saturday the 28th is Sheila's Birthday. She will be 99 years old. Ok I'm kidding. She will be 80. :) Just kidding Sheila. Of course Sheila gets the raw end of the deal. She just gets gifts for her Birthday. I get her! I got the best gift of all because I got the most beautiful woman and she loves me. She is not going to be 80 this birthday, but here is wishing that you reach your 80th birthday. I love you Sheila.

Stuffed

I wanted to just have a small meal for dinner tonight. I suggested McDonalds and was shot down. Sheila and her Mom wanted the Chinese Buffet. I ate WAY to much. I have not done that for a long time. I'm paying for it now because I have an upset stomach. But That will pass in time. It was good, But as always when I go to a buffet I don't know when to quit.

I recorded 3 tracks on my cd this past week. Actually I recorded 4 tracks and I have to redo 2 of them. The audio level on the music was way to loud. The last two tracks I cut blended very well. My original plan was to have the CD ready by the end of June but it's looking more like July now. I am further along now that I was 6 months ago. So there is light at the end of the tunnel.

In Studio Thursday!!!

I will be in the studio this Thursday June 12th. The CD that I have talked about recording for months will finally be recorded. I have yet to finish the CD covers. But that is low priority right now. So far I know of 20 people who would like a CD. If you still want to get a copy of the cd PLEASE let me know as soon as possible. I hope to have everything finalized by the end of June.

closer to recording

Well It seems like I keep giving updates and no release date in sight for the CD. I am finally ready to record my CD and as luck would have it I have a sinus infection. I've been down for the count for a few days and finally feel pretty well, except my singing voice is not back to par yet. So as soon as I kick this nasty sinus infection I am all set to head to the studio. If everything goes well I should have the finished CD by the end of June. The next step will be to get the labels and CD cover's printed. I'll keep you posted. So far I know of 14 people who would like a CD. If you have not yet told me that you want a CD please email me and let me know. I would like to try to have only the number of CD's made that I need. You can email me at Rob.Baugh@insightbb.com. Put in the subject line "YOUR CD" and I'll make sure to read it promptly. I'm bad about not reading emails right away, so this will grab my attention and I'll add it to the list.

A quick post

I know I have not posted for a while. Time has slipped by and we have been busy. Sheila and I can not thank you enough for the prayers, cards, flowers etc that we received at the passing of her father. We are all doing well, as much as we can. And we appreciate your continued prayers as we try to make sense of all of this. It's times like this that we find out what we are made of. You stop and take inventory of your life and what it means and what it means to those you are close to. I pray that we never loose sight of the important things in life and we cherish every moment that we have together.

Lester Dahmer 1939 - 2008... We will miss you!

This has been a very difficult time for me and Sheila. Last Monday May 5th we were at my nephews birthday party. We were just finishing up singing happy birthday to him when the phone rang. My brother answered and told us it was Sheila's Mom and she wanted us there immediately. Sheila's Dad appeared to have suffered a mini stroke that turned out to be a full stroke. We believe that he had another stroke on the way from Clark Memorial Hospital to U Of L Hospital. Tuesday things were not looking bad. They had planned to send him to rehab in New Albany on Thursday to start his road to recovery. With each day that came and went he became a little worse. Yesterday Monday May 12th Sheila called me at work and told me that they would be taking him off everything including the cpap machine. My heart sunk because I knew this would be the last time we would get to see him. I am so thankful that I made it to the Hospital in time to be there with Adah and Sheila when I knew they were going to need me the most. We were in the room with him right by his side as he slipped away to the other side. It wasn't easy to watch him go and it sure will not be the same without him. But I am happy that he is no longer suffering. The man went through more than I would wish on anyone this week. I tried to thank everyone that has offered us their prayers and so many words of encouragement. I am sure that I have left someone out, but I know that you all know I would not do that on purpose. Thank you to all of our family and friends who have stuck right there by our side.
