Don't you just dig it when you have good work coming in?

I had a couple similar things with my own business happen recently. The
first was last summer when I was given the opportunity to record a =
concert
in Sydney, Australia at the Sydney Opera House. It was a massive
performance of an amazing work (the Berlioz Requiem) with roughly 500
musicians on stage. Not to mention, getting to record in one of the =
most
famous rooms in the world was kinda cool :-) The other thing was more
recent... =20

I was contracted to record the CD for one of the biggest professional =
choirs
here in LA (well Orange County- but close enough). This Monday will be =
our
4th of 5 sessions and I'm having a blast. I've been watching them =
perform
for years and I even performed in a concert with them a the Hollywood =
Bowl a
couple years back (Beethoven 9 in front of something like 12,000 people.
What a rush!). Now, I'm working with them for this project- I'm totally
stoked about getting to do this.

Anyways, great to see that other folks are doing well and having fun =
with
their businesses.
