,Our "Year Of Faith" choir concert, which took place on November 17th 2012, helped to kick start our next CD. We debuted several new songs in hopes of raising the funds necessary to record. Many people stepped up and contributed to the cause and our efforts are proceeding forward due to their generosity. Below the icon is a list of songs along with their current recording and funding status. Below that is information on how you can still jump in and help out.
Here is the set list of songs performed at the concert along with their current status vis-a-vis recording and fund raising efforts. The "Sound -clip here" icon will take you to our (currently") 5 song montage of completed works.

Anonymous Donor
A ground-swell of smaller donations could be just what it takes to push us past the finish line. We appreciate any and all contributions to the cause!
While the last 2 CDs have had great success in sales and in the publishing world, we have yet to break even on either of them. We have managed to reduce our recording costs by using the school stairway for vocal recording, (Great acoustics!) and the generosity of our own Frank Calabretta, who now records the vocal parts (and many of the instrumental parts) of the new recordings.
Our primary costs are in post-production. Editing and mixing need to take place in a professional facility. Each song runs between $500-$1000 to edit and mix. This is done at the
Mouse-House recording facility in Altadena CA with the great
Rich Mouser, who is a Gold record producer and a good friend going back to my teenage years in Colorado. He has engineered/co-produced all of my recordings and he gives me the best deal possible, knowing it's all for a good cause. I am fortunate to get 1st class results on a 3rd class budget thanks to his good spirit and colossal talent.
When the recordings are complete there are additional reproduction costs, but by this stage of the game, we know that these costs can be covered with brisk, early sales.
With a bit more help we have the potential to complete this CD in calendar year 2013. If you'd like to be a part of this effort, please email me at andrew@andreweverson.com or catch me (if you can!) at St. Joachim.
