St. John's Episcopal Church in Hermiston, Oregon was our first stop on a four day mini-tour. Our hosts were Les McMasters, master luthier, and his gracious wife, Leana. We were treated to a tour of Les' guitar shop complete with the fragrance of exotic wood, glue, lacquer, and the touch, sight, and tone of a multitude of marvelous instruments. For our first concert of the tour, we were delighted to see so many people fill the pews of St. John's and were absolutely won over by their hospitality, keen listening, warmth and humor. It seemed they liked us too, with the highest proportion of audience to CD sales that we have experienced . . . EVER. Our visit to this lovely town ended with a trip to the town newspaper office to collect copies of the HUGE article written about us in the Hermiston Herald. We absolutely loved Hermiston and hope to return again soon.

My demo, "God Speed" is a song that I had originally written 2 years ago.... it is a song about a wife missing her soldier husband, whilst he is on the front lines overseas... Anthony (Tony) Smith, became my co-writer/composer/producer of our song.. and, Canadian singer, Patricia Conroy, sang the demo. Our song was done in Nashville, Tennessee.
