So Sorry Anna.

Back in Dec., I posted on YouTube, one of our Peter Stevens Songs, "Crucifix On The Wall". A guy out in Utah who makes Crosses for a living, saw it and liked it. He liked it so much that he tracked me down, sent me an e-mail, and offered to make a Cross for the band. I received it a week before Christmas and needless to say, it was beautiful.

We had our studio repainted and had new carpet installed and new ceiling tiles put in to replace the older ones.

Below are some photos of the finished studio and the "Crucifix on the Wall".

Hello All,

Anna, very sorry to hear about your Sister in Law. Let's face it. Your siblings spouse becomes a part of your family and it is a family loss. I have prayed for your brother & for you.

Facing several cold days coming up. Mornings in the 30's. Has not been a terible winter but it just does not want to let go. Joe, I am glad I do not live upstairs above your bands studio. Who's house is it in!!! Years ago Carol & I with two of our children (third one was born later when we had our own house) lived in a three family house and our apartment was partially over a store. A fellow bought the building and moved his piano tuning business into the store. We were a little apprehensive at first but this guy only tuned during business hours and most of his work was in peoples homes. He waould tune a piano occasionaly in the store and then play absolutely beautiful soft music. He was a great landlord and a very nice guy. He bawled me out for shoveling the steps and front sidewalk, He said he pays his teenage son to do it. The landlord before him would have let the snow sit forever. The new guy was a welcome change. :thumright:
