update on the tunes!

June 18, 2008

Sup boys and girls!

 

Last week was VERY hectic but was also very rewarding and productive. We probably spent over 25 hours in the studio but GAH it was so worth it. This record is amazing. Mr. David Johnson out did himself on these tracks, the overdubs are amazing. My good friend Eddie did a fantastic job on some new arrangements on our songs. All the stuff sounds completely different then I thought and could have ever imagined. It’s amazing.

 

I gotta go next week and finish up with Eddie on the mix and listen. Then it’s off to duplication and into YOUR hands!

 

Be sure to pick up a copy folks! You won’t regret it!

P.S. To everyone that’s been asking ANGEL’S ARE WAITING will be included on this CD. It is the radio version just they way all you all have requested it! So YES it is a bonus cut! And it’s dedicated to my Pap-Paw Rob Byrant. Miss and Love you Pap-paw but I know you and all the angels are waiting by my mansion door! : )

 

Cherry Trees, Revival, Studio and War World II letters….

June 8, 2008

JonathanSup y’all! So this week has been so eventful. My mom and I picked cherry’s off of my Mamaw’s cherry tree. That tree has been there ever since I was a baby. I remember my cousin Jamie and I sitting under it and eating cherry’s till we were sick. (I got Mamaw to fix me a cherry pie with the ones we picked, YUM!)

 

We also just came out of revival at my home church.  The group sang on Sunday night. I think they never thought we were going to get there.  It’s way up the mountain!   The whole revival was just that, a revival.  There was an awesome moving of God through the singing, shouting, preaching and testimonies.  The altars were full every night!  Brother Bud Mclane preached the meeting.  My Dad did a little preaching “testifying” too. :) I didn’t want it to end. God is so awesome!

 

I’ve also been really busy with mom’s companies this week, she had A LOT come in. She’s got some awesome new clients and very cool websites.  Be looking for them! It always gets busy close to convention time. OH MAN! I can’t wait for convention this year, it’s gonna be AWESOME. We’re doing this Young Excelling Artist showcase that was confirmed today, and it’s going to be AMAZING! We’re gonna have church.

 

But all week long we’ve been preparing to go into the studio next week. They laid down overdubs last night with the incredible David Johnson. They were in the studio till the wee hours of the morning. Eddie called me to let me hear a little bit on one song, and I flipped out! It was AMAZING! Put two people like David Johnson and Eddie Swan together, you’re sure to have a hit. They are amazing.

 

The girls and I are so excited to get this record finished up. God has truly opened up a lot of doors during this process. I gotta give him the glory for it, because of HIM this is possible. I also gotta thank Eddie and Linda from Regal Music Group for being my angels. They have been there for me through it all and I love ‘em to death.

 

We really would appreciate your thoughts and prayers next week, it’s gonna be a CRAZY week. But I can’t wait. I LOVE being in the studio, I’d live there if I could.

 

So, my dad’s grandfather passed away the other week. It was so hard on him and our family. Mom and Dad and his Aunt Linda have been cleaning out his house and painting and stuff this week. I was up there with him yesterday and my Aunt Linda H., my mom, and me all found a bunch of letters that he had wrote to his mom and dad while he was in World War II. They were filled with such great stuff. Sad, funny, short and long stories that really gave us peace. He will be missed dearly. He was a great man. Can’t wait to see you again one day Pap-Paw Rob! Those of you that have been asking for Angels Are Waiting on a CD, it will be on this new one dedicated to Paw Paw Rob!

 

The girls and I will keep you updated next week while we are in the studio!  Thanks for reading!

Peace and Love,

So… It’s about 11:30….

June 5, 2008

So… it’s about 11:30 and I’m sitting here because I have too much energy to lay down and go to sleep right now.  Too much energy actually is pretty much always my problem (so jon would say) :) but I have my Spanish two exam tomorrow. Pray that I pass it. lol. because I’m not spanish or anything. haha. Tomorrow is my  last day of school thank you JESUS. I made it through another year. but last week was pretty harsh. I was in chemistry class and I was having a not so good day and I was getting frustrated trying to study for the  exam and I had bowed my head to pray. My teacher asked me what I was doing and I told him I was praying because I had to have something calm me down. He made a comment and everyone was laughing. it upset me a little bit.  But it made me realize that because Jesus was persecuted in his day we will be persecuted in ours, and because I am doing what God wants for me this is just the beginning of it.  You don’t know when it will come, but the devil is going to try to bring you down.  As long as you land on  your knees there is NOT a devil in hell that can bring you down.  And this verse has become my favorite it’s 2 Chronicles 15:7 its says:  ”But as for YOU, BE STRONG, DO NOT give up for your work will be REWARDED.” and that has helped me through several circumstances the past couple weeks.

Continue to keeps us in your thoughts and prayers
and we will keep you in ours. :)

LOTS of love and GOD BLESS :)
