When I first met Pamela it was not in regards to music but
nonetheless within an hour’s time she ended up in my (home) studio entranced
with creating songs and sounds. As an artist, it is easy to recognize creative
qualities in other individuals and that is exactly what happened when Pamela
entered into my world of music.
As a singer/songwriter I find creative inspiration to be a
strange phenomenon. Sometimes you have a creative idea or a particular subject
matter that you work on and other times creative impulse grabs a hold of
you and your life comes to a complete halt until you allow it to manifest
through your particular form of expression.
For the past six months I have been actively involved in the
creation of a Bluegrass/Country music project. Shortly after meeting Pamela,
while driving across the state of Florida, this sweet gospel melody entered my
mind. My first thought was …where did that come from, my second thought was…
this is a song for Pamela, and my third thought was… thank-you! When I arrived
home, I called Pamela’s mother Lisa and explained that I had a song that I would
like Pamela to sing and asked if she would allow her daughter to be involved in
my current recording project.
Today Pamela and I began the process of bringing this song
to light. I will be posting our progress with this project on the Creative
Paths of the Arts blog. Part of the vocal recordings will be done in West Palm
Beach, Florida at Saturn Sound Studio with musicianship and additional vocals
to be recorded at Rocking Horse Studio in Pittsfield, New Hampshire.
