Music and Interviews

Over the weekend here at Tapeworks, the control room was the location site for Milling About - a blogtalkradio.com feature hosted by entertainment reporter, Robin Milling. This week's interviewee was a close friend of the studio - Grayson Hugh .

The 40 minute interview, which will air on Friday, February 25th, contains three songs performed by Grayson and his wife (Polly Messer, providing vocal harmonies), and showcases some of his newer piano/vocal work as well as an old favorite.

It will be a program you won't want to miss - included in the interview is a very uplifting story about Grayson's recent return to recording and performing his own music, and how he has never been in a better place in his life. It is surely one that anyone involved in the music business can learn from.

Remotes and Radio

So despite all the crazy weather we've been having, things are still bustling along - as are we - from one corner of the state to the other!

First Bill got to take a drive up to "UConn country" where he met with Women's Head Basketball Coach, Geno Auriemma, in snow-covered Gampel Pavilion to record him for a radio spot due out in March. (Can you imagine having to clear the snow off of that roof?)

Then Chris hit the road on the last weather-filled morning CT has seen so far, (which, if you can believe, was only a lengthy 4 days ago) to head down to Norwalk Hospital where he recorded one of the doctors and two very moving patient testimonials.

Now back to the studio (and connecting us back up to Storrs), high school student, Mike Casey, who attends E.O. Smith and The Greater Hartford Academy for the Arts recorded a jazz CD in which all of the proceeds will be donated to Horns For Kids - a charity which supports music education in CT.

Anxiously awaiting what should hopefully be just around the corner - Spring! I think we are all well-deserving of that!
