I’m really looking forward to hear their CD. God Bless

Didn’t have the energy to comment earlier, I’m quite exhausted. However this time participating could be helpful (training my abilities…).

I thought of something recently…….notice the plume of smoke rising in the north? I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall of the Taff’s “music room”, or wherever it is that they write music and lyrics together!!! I also wonder if they have “moments of intense fellowship” in the process? Like, does Tori want to use one phrase and Russ another? Wouldn’t that be fascinating? And what does it feel like to be composing lyrics that thousands of singers all over the world will one day be singing……and recording? That’s gotta be an incredible “high”!!

Tori, I didn’t mean to talk about you in the third person! But can you tell us a little about the process you two use to arrive at a final “creation”? OR, is that like talking “shop” for you?

You’re a hoot, Jonny! Got any of your music available online yet? I wanna hear our resident rocker sing!!!!

Oh, and thanks for the wonderful up-date on Betty, Barbara!

IN YOUR DREAMS!!! (Said very loudly!) LOL

Boy – give me first graders any day! Thank Jesus we all made it – including the kids! HHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Tori – I love you! You never did tell how you prepared that humongus artichoke! And, that pic made me go out and get some lobster bisque! For real!
Peace. oh, And, Betty?

Oh, and if the moustache was so hot, fine, then why isn’t he still sporting it?? ; )

So, how is Betty these days?
We had a terrible storm last night – I slept through it – but my porch furniture is now lawn furniture! On my way to Pre-K to sub. PRAY FOR ME! last time I subbed pre-k I was 5 minutes from foaming at the mouth & running outta there pulling out my hair! Too many whiners. If I survive – I will be back later today! -

Talk about your pictures of art though… what fabulous pic is that of Russ behind the sound board – gives me goose bumps. ** mediocre sound tech-y here in aah of the site** It will be pure torture waiting for this project to come to fruition. Tori, just the build up of you saying it got “Russ creatively excited like I haven’t seen in years!” Man!! I know this is going to be a wonderful gift from God. Can’t wait.

I can hardly wait until Russ’ cd comes out…maybe there will be enough creative juices flowing from the Taff house that there could be two new cd’s. That product table could sure use them….and so could I.

How fine is that fella? Well, fine enough to have fans from two to ninety-two…and gettin better all the time.

As to former’s comment about men in relationships “quieting up,” I guess we just discover at some point anything we say or do can, and more than likely will, be used against us at a later date.

When contemplating some issues concerning men and women, a couple things came to mind. One, it seems the number one godly quality for a woman is a quiet and gentle spirit. Two, godly qualities for men seem to be patience and understanding. Of course with liberal amounts of gentleness thrown in the mix. So, I guess women should work on being quiet while men are figuring out this patient and understanding thing, meanwhile men get to work on being patient and understanding while women are working on their quiet and gentle spirits = )

OK, D, my phone IS a little computer. My monthly phone bill includes my phone’s 3G internet connection, calling minutes and hundreds of SMS. As such, with the help a a special cable, my phone can also be used as a modem for another computer. A “real” computer. For some reason the wonderful, quite efficient, 3G connection has not been working in my area. As a result I have to use the slower, weaker GSM default internet connection. Hopefully this gets worked out soon. Because of the weaker connection, I’m not always able to view everything Tori throws up here, or respond to some of it.

My organizer brain is having a field day with all this new info on Russ! There’s gotta be some way of getting Russ and the FI gang over here for a show. After the CD is finished, of course. Maybe they could smuggle me in some KC as well = )

LindaB– I can’t wait either!

MostlySunny– I guess the easiest answer to that question is that Russ wanted to break out of the mold a little bit. There is such a wonderful combination there of musical/technical sophistication AND musical passion that it got Russ creatively excited like I haven’t seen in years! He wants to take what he does and infuse it with some different instrumentation, style and singers. Madi keeps saying, “This will be Dad’s ‘Graceland’!”

DELIVERED– The first two photos are ones I took last summer, the others are Russ’. And thank you for using the word ‘fine’ and Russ in the same sentence– I totally agree, but he doesn’t hear that often enough!

Love ya! Peace

Crab & lobster – my favs of all time! Add oysters and I will be alreay in Heaven!

One question – Why the Faroe’s to do a CD? Just wondering…

I cannot wait to hear this new CD by my favorite gospel singer of all time!
