So... You all know that I absolutely LOVE Ceili Rain. So, I had this project in a class to interpret songs. I couldn't go the semester and not interpret a Ceili Rain song. I asked Bob Halligan, Jr. which song he would like me to interpret and he said, "whichever one you think will have the most pizzazz when you do it!!!!!!!!" Well, that wasn't much help to me but it's all good. I went around in circles for days until finally deciding at the last possible second to interpret their song "You Then Me Then You Then Me." Then, as a Christmas gift, I made a DVD and sent one to Bob, one to their drummer Bill Bleistine and his wife Aly, and one to Ceili Rain's #2 fan, Paula Sanning. I got lots of feedback from everyone and I felt really good. I knew it really wasn't my best work, but I wasn't able to re-record in time. So I thought, "Oh. They'll like it anyway. I'll just do a better one later." WOW did I make a mistake in that! :-) This was taken way farther than I could ever even DREAM of! Aly posted it on YOUTUBE! *face palm* Now it's there for the whole world to see! I should have waited another couple weeks and found time to redo it! It is now also on Facebook and Ceili Rain's blog. Though I know it wasn't my best work, they made me feel like the superstar I'm not. In my defense, I wasn't allowed to dance and the second I finished recording, I hopped in the truck and headed to the airport on my way to Washington, D.C. It really wasn't the best day for me to be recording. I have however, seen worse. So I can't complain too much. I am super excited about everything that is happening. We are in cahoots now working towards getting a couple more songs interpreted in the near future and who knows what in the not-so-near future. I am super stoked! I love that I am able to use the gifts God has given me for this! I see great things in the future of myself and Ceili Rain. They were great already! I hope that Ceili Rain is as excited as I am about this. I never expected all of this! But I am happy to see where this is going. I think it's a great step for us all. I look forward to working with my boys! I have posted Ceili Rain's blogpost as well as the video below. Enjoy! Love you all! And Merry Christmas!
P.S. I have been keeping up with the post on Youtube. We're up to 88 views! YAY! :-p
