NOTICE: No trees were destroyed in the creation of this page...
(I will concede, however, that a significant number of electrons were drastically inconvenienced)!
WARNING: I don't always check my MySpace page every day. So if you've posted a comment or friend request and haven't heard from me, just be patient!!
MY MAIN HOBBY is audio recording of live performances (only with prior permission, of course). I record student vocalists and instrumentalists of all ages during their live performances, for use in critiquing their music and for archival purposes (not for general sale or distribution). I also make recordings of individuals and groups for auditions and contest entries. Keep in mind these recordings are made live on location, and not in a studio. I do an on-the-fly mix of spot and ambiance mics positioned for wide stereo, which is then digitally recorded to two-track. There is no re-mixing, post-editing, or mastering, so what was performed is what I record and what you hear.
The first player below contains a sampling of some of my live recordings made at my church (FLC) during various performances and services. (They sound much better on a CD than they do after being highly compressed to fit onto this player)!
(REMINDER: THESE SONGS ARE NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION).

The next player below contains a sampling of recordings made during performances by members of the Jackson Jr. High School Choirs from 2003 - 2007. These choirs have won multiple awards year after year at local, state, and national levels, which shows their sustained level of excellence (attributable mainly to their outstanding choir director). Keep in mind these are all 7th through 9th graders! Take a listen... I bet you'll be surprised by their sound!

The next player below contains a sampling of live performances by some very talented Jackson Jr. High School music students. Several are individual performances, but I've also included some selections from one of my favorite groups - 4 guys who formed a quartet with a real "barbershop" sound. Be sure to listen to at least one of their songs!
