    Background choir vocals sent and synced. Also sent a mix for your approval. The voices are oohs, ahhs, and doo's. sevent tracks just for those. I hope you like it. If you want something different, I can probably remix. Let me know your thoughts. I learned A LOT on this one!

    I can't get over the fact your KB can generate all those sounds! The rest of us will be out of business soon! :-(

    Video for strings, marimba, and organ sent, synced, and mixed. Hope you like it. We'll wait for Heather to see what voices she wants, then I can fill in if needed.

    @Heather Diaz: I would say you just need to do the words, which I can't do. BGV included in my second track.

    Sent an MP3 just for levels and arrangement. I mixed eight tracks down to one for this. I can change the mix at any point if you want something different. Let me know. This was a challenge! video to come when I figure out what to display me playing.

    @Pete Hanratty: Sounds like a plan, thx. Question: if Marjolein won't be doing the LV on, "Only Time." which instrument can we use to to replace her?
