Look over there ------------>

Please notice the new section to the right. It's going to contain links to our music as we get things recorded. Here's the story about the song there now...

The same night we recorded "O Holy Night" (two nights before her brain surgery) we recorded a few other songs. One of them was Eva Cassidy's arrangement of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." I accompanied on guitar as Courtney sang. This song was especially difficult for her as several things weighed on her heart and mind, one of them being the uncertainty of the surgery. Our friend, Gary McClellan and his son engineered this one and added some orchestration behind it. I think the final result is touching. We hope you enjoy.

Courtney and Jason-- it is so beautiful! I don't know how you got through it without crying! You have a beautiful voice Courtney--one we truly miss in Cantico. I'm so glad you are recording Courtney singing--the more the better! : )

Jason, I have been reading your blog to keep up with Courtney's progress. I think about her often and keep her in my prayers. It was so good to hear her beautiful voice and your amazing guitar playing again. It really touched me. Thank you.
