Finally...a new CD!




I haven't recorded a CD in 7 years - after all, I did three back-to-back from 1999-2000. So I guess a break was in order. I had no idea that the break would last 7 years! Well, thanks to Andy Bonime and Cloudshine Music, I was able to record a collection of original material, all drawn upon experiences in my life. Andy wrote the music, I wrote the lyrics, and we've spent the last year and a half writing, recording, re-writing, re-recording, and then finally bringing my Dad, Bill Pursell, in to handle three arrangements, conduct an orchestra, and play on the record. It was an opportunity I never thought I'd have again, and I'm very grateful. For more info on the record, go to http://www.somewhereinthisroom.com/. There will be a big CD release party in October with a live performance, and the CD's will be available in a few weeks!

Boris


This is our new dog, Boris...I rescued him from the North Central Shelter. Everyone asks me what kind of dog he is, and honestly, I haven't a clue! Whatever the RCA Victor dog was - that's what Boris is. He is a gentle, sweet animal who never leaves my side. He loves to throw his toys up in the air and then chase them. And he runs like a greyhound! He was in the studio with us when we recorded at Westlake Recording in Hollywood, and he completely stole the show...
