Maddy & Daddy - Making a record together!
Madison has always loved singing. Her little face just lights up when she's standing in front of a microphone singing her heart out. I have always loved singing, too, although I wasn't very good when I started singing at 14.
Maddie sang in our church's Kid's Choir for a couple of years, but her Autism seemed to jump up at some point, and she decided not to continue. I recently invited Maddy to join me in the studio to lay down some vocal tracks on a song she used to sing with her good friend Sarah. We probably spent about an hour laying down some vocal tracks, and then she was done. I did a rough mix of our song "You Are Worthy of Our Praise" and we were both exstatic at how it came out. Here is a clip you can listen to on my band's webpage at www.themesssage.us/youareworthy.mp3.
A couple weeks later I was scheduled to sing the 'special' song during offering at church, and I invited Maddy to join me. Again, the joy on her face is so clear when she's singing her heart out! Our friend Gene Naber videotaped it for us and we were overjoyed to see ourselves singing together that morning! You can see the video on YouTube soon. Just search for "Maddy & Daddy". A special thanks to our friend Gene for blessing us this way!
My lovely wife Dawn also videotaped our special song that Sunday with her handy little Flip video camer. You can find it on my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/doncobb.
