Paul’s “G”odiva Spot

There were moments when, looking into the faces of these little…ANGELS (BLESS THEM!) one could clearly see who had the power in that moment.  They thought they were in control!  And I think they enjoyed that. For a while at least.  It always seemed that they always knew when we were about to make headway on a piece.  And then, right on cue, they would ruin it.  I think they desperately wanted to be in the album one way or another.  A ramdom children’s chorus of uncooth vocal utternaces!!!

I did not know which was funnier.  The fact that they would see me storming around the corner and try to quiet each other down, or that in the process of quieting each other down, they would make MORE noise, for a longer time.  At one point, Ralph, my producer, had just about had it and was looking to see in there was a beebee gun lying around.  I still think that the gaggle of Sandanavian nuns was the ticket.  And if there isn’t a convent nearby, there is always duct tape!  But NO!  No one listens to me.  Even Rossweise was beginning to lose it after a while!  And speaking of Rossweise, she amazed us both with her stamina and her desperate professionalism!!  For a little lady who is desperately pregnant, and soon to gleefully descend upon some unsuspecting birthing stool, she was amazing!!  Yes you are DAHLINKS!!!!  Even your sarcasm was cute!  And she even came to the first session wearing…PIGGIES!!!!

The MOST interesting moment of the week was when Ralph went again to get the kids to be quiet as we were about to re-take a piece.  He opened the door and spoke to the kids, and saw two teachers standing there in FACING the signs in RED saying, “PLEASE BE QUIET! RECORDING IN PROGRESS!” and talking even louder than the kids!!  It is at THAT point we realised who and what we were dealing with!  I talked with one of the the teachers about the noise problem and she just looked at me with a horrified expression as in, how in the world was she going to accomplish keeping them quiet.  My how times have changed!!

But now we are done, and I can safely say that we did so without any incidents.  A very interesting journey I have gotten myself into, but I know that He (God) who has started a good work, is faithful to complete it in me.
