Attention!: "Bag of Dreams" has been recorded this Tuesday, September 8, 2009

“Bag of dreams” has now been released just yesterday on voice123, you can now listen to it and download a copy if you wish!

Well, what can I say, the recording of “bag of dreams” has been a success. At first I thought I wasn’t going to do it because the studio where I had to go recorded was outside of Austin, but then Lory was nice enough to come pick me up and take me there.
It’s been a good experience, going in there and listen to them playing the guitar and making the track for my song.
She introduced me to her husband, the engineer, and then I had to drink lots of water so that my throat wouldn’t get dry while I was recording.
I sang along with them for the first few minutes, and then Lory and I were talking and she was telling me about the things around me, the microphones, the lights, and the equipment they used to record my song. She took pictures of me, one when I was sitting beside her in front of the engineer’s computer, and two when I was in front of the mike, ready to record.
It was about 3 hoursbefore I actually started singing, and then I had tossing the song at least 6 times before they called me out.
She offered me some fruit for a snack and we were talking about if this is what I really want to do for the rest of my life. Then I finally got my CD’s and we were listening to “bag of dreams” on my way home. Lory told me that I should put it on the local radio station, but I don’t know how to do that yet. I think I might request an appointment with K U T, but I don’t really know if that’s possible. I was kind of disappointed because I wanted it to have some drums, but it only has 2 guitars and a base. Oh well, it sounds good regardless, I hope.

When I finished the song and came back home, they took one last picture before I came in, this time Lory’s husband took it and it was a pretty one, where Lory bent down on her knees right beside me and we had our cheeks together, appearing to be almost the same height, and we were hugging each other. She’s very sweet!
Then I came home, and Steven and Cokie were the first ones to listen to my song. Mom and my uncle followed, thanks to email. Cokie is helping me promote “bag of Dreams” at the school where she works, and at her office, mom at her workplace, and my uncle from L A was impressed with my song also.
Many people here in Austin were impressed with “Bag of dreams”, Cokie reported that one of my ex fans asked her, “That’s little Claudia?”, of course, I’m not little anymore.
Steven and I had a long talk about this, he said he’s proud of me because I’m trying to make something out of myself, that is my main reason to come back to pop music.
He and I talked and had fun yesterday, playing with my keyboard and singing to the songs we knew. I showed him a little bit about how I came up with the melody for “bag of dreams”, and he loved it!
We agreed that he was going to help me record the rest of my CD by the end of November, if by that time I have more than 7 or 8 songs written and ready to record, so keep up with the latest updates to make sure you don’t stay behind.
Currently, I have another song almost ready to record, 2 songs completely written that I have to find the melody for, and 3 songs that I’m still writing, one of them which I am doing with Luis’s wife which is called “Evil Boys”.
So I’ll be working on this while I still have the chance, hopefully I’ll have them ready by then.

Well, that’s all for now, more updates soon.

H I L: Will “Bag of Dreams” be my stairway to success?
