Hey everyone! big news. We’ve brought on Beach Boys’ producer/engineer Mark Linett (winner of six Grammy awards) to help finish mixing the project. He’s already mixed 3 of the most complicated tunes and they sound fantastic!! This is a dream come true for us and we are so honored to have his expertise and experience on this project. Terry will write more later.

An update on health, the virus and finishing records.

I wanted to give an update on the last few months. Of course we've all been dealing with the Covid outbreak. My daughter Hannah tested positive and spent two weeks in Quarantine and is now doing well and back to normal.

For the last year i had been feeling weak. I was tired all the time and a little shaky. Not having health insurance i put off having any tests. At the end of April i woke up at about 2:00 in the morning with a fever and for the next 20 hours lived with my head over the toilet throwing up a dark red bile. i finally did a call to a clinic and was given some meds and told to immediately get into emergency or my doctor. i put it off for about a week but then on a Monday night i fainted a few times was finally able to get back in bed. I called my doctor and he told me to come in first thing in the morning. I had a lot of blood work done and early the next morning my doctor called and told me to get to emergency immediately. After a Covid test they admitted me to the hospital and i found out that i had lost 2/3rds of the blood in my body. They said if i'd had another spell i could have died. After 4 days, 3 units of blood, 2 units of Iron, a CAT scan, colonoscopy and a tube down my throat to check my stomach it was determined i had 2 bleeding ulcers that had probably been there for a few years. Fortunately they could deal with it with meds and no surgery. I want to thank those of you that had heard i was sick for your prayers and good vibes sent my way. I'm feeling good again and back in the studio to make more music.

Finishing records

Between the virus and being sick i've lost a lot of time on the music i was working on.

First the Terry Scott Taylor album.
I'm back in the studio mixing this record. It's going to be a great record that i'm sure you'll love. I know that Terry has been worried about getting this finished and in your hands and we're doing everything we can to make it happen quickly. You all have been so patient and supportive and we're sorry for the delay but it couldn't be helped.

The Choir album
We are also finishing the recording for the new Choir album.
we were fortunate to get a good start before the virus hit but still have a few songs to finish and probably 2 more to write.
Steve, Dan and i are getting back to work on those songs also. It's a busy time for us getting all of this finished. So hopefully you can be patient for a little longer and we'll deliver two really great records.

Peace to y'all
