As I mentioned in the lyric notes, this song was inspired by and written for the Turtle Creek Chorale in Dallas, Texas - 200 + of the most beautiful male voices you have ever heard. When I decided that I wanted to put this song at the end of this CD, I had to re-think how I was going to do it, as I didn't have the Chorale at my disposal. PLUS, since "I" was singing the lead, I thought it would be a nice touch for the descant (angel) voices to be women. SO, while at the Bodhi Manda Zen Center (Jemez Mountains, New Mexico) last summer, circumstances and people just fell into place. It really is true, there ARE NO COINCIDENCES. These women were and are incredible. I am so appreciative of their talent. I thank each and everyone of them for the spirit and life they each brought to this song. My ANGELETTES, truly, have the voices of ANGELS. Listen for yourself.

   I am really excited.... The Angelettes have so graciously agreed to perform with me at the PLAZA THEATRE on September 21st, 2002. In fact, rehearsals have already begun. (for details, click here)   These ladies are not only incredibly talented, but are really a lot of FUN to be with. (I think we laugh more than we sing...) You will also see pictures of the rest of the Cast and Crew here... I love to take pictures, so I will be adding and changing out rehearsal photos between now and SHOWTIME... giving you a window into the spirit, love and fun that is going into this show. Please check back soon.
