Nancy leaving the band and us here at Studio Sarah Records marks what I believe will be a new beginning for all of us. July 7th will mark one year from when New York State certified Studio Sarah Records as an LLC and I consider that an impressive milestone.

Nancy has been working with me from the beginning.

I first asked Nancy to come with me to the recording studio to take photos and videos to document the recording of "Gardening from the Ground Up Part 1." She had been a friend to me since we worked together as ushers at an off broadway theater. I knew photos of the recording process would carry deep meaning for me throughout my life and be useful to display here on my website.

I didn't know if it would be strange having someone in the studio taking photos of my producer and I, but Nancy was a natural. After her first day, my producer told me how impressed he was with how naturally she fit in with us.

As the recording process continued, Nancy became an important sounding board for the final decisions that needed to be made on the album. I will never forget us hailing a cab on a bustling Houston Street and speeding to Brooklyn so that my producer could make an important change before the last Fedex pickup of the day.

Nancy will be missed, but we will be celebrating this successful year as this important anniversary approaches.
