Well, the CD's have made it to the printer! It seems like a lifetime ago that we
recorded the album in Minneapolis but it was only this past June!
Time flies when you are having fun...and eating cheese curds.
Which, I am happy to report, that I was able to obtain some cheese curds at the
Pierce County Fair in Ellsworth, WI. They were delicious!!
Speaking of county fairs, I'd like to share a song from "Long Ride" and a video.
The song is called "Ferris Wheel" and it is dedicated to my Dad.
My dad was a teacher and a farmer, so if he wasn't at school, he was out in the
fields working. I am the oldest, so I became his little helper at a pretty young
age. I have many memories of sharing time with my Dad but one of my favorites is
the Ferris Wheel. It was my very first ride I was able to go on as a young child
and I went on the ride with my Dad. As you will hear in the song, sitting on the
top of the Ferris Wheel was like being the 'girl on top of the world.' I felt
like I could see the entire universe from the top of that ride and sitting
beside me was my Dad laughing at how excited I was and enjoying the fact that we
were able to share the experience together.
My Mom and Dad have given me the opportunity, support and love to dream as big
and as bold as I wanted to and for that, I am truly, truly thankful. I couldn't
have pursued my career in music without them.
I hope you enjoy this video and song as much as I did creating them.
