Our new CD-recording project is just around the corner and I'm excited. We were trying to get to the Wild Sound studio twice this month already to sing about 4 a cappella songs for it, but had to cancel both reservations. FLU hit hard on both Elinas, and there's nothing you can do when the voice is gone. Our next try is January 8th, please please please let us stay healthy until then...The flu was not the only thing creating anxiety amongst us: we were supposed to perfrom at Finnish-American Christmas party, but it got cancelled due SNOWSTORM. Again, what can you do when 20 inches of snow hits the ground in one day! See the picture. http://flic.kr/p/919x3u
We are starting our fundraising campaign this coming week for this recording project. Support from our friends and fans would really be appreciated, as this time we are hiring some excellent musicians to work with us. We have Dan Chouinard in piano and accordion, Peter Ostroushko, mandolin, Joe Sayles, double bass, Marc Anderson, percussion and Sara Pajunen in violin. It will be very different compared to our a cappella recording last time. Now, we first go through the material with the musicians, then they play their parts and then we sing ours on top of theirs. Complicated and time-consuming, yes, but sounds like fun! Happy New Year from Saana! -Eeva
