Golden Bells of Atlanta Premier CD (2000)

Golden Bells of Atlanta
Premier CD (2000)

In the spring of 2000 we all took a long weekend and completed our first CD recording. We would like to thank Twelve Oaks Studios in Smyrna, Georgia and especially Jeff Sanstrom for his help in engineering our recording. Everyone put in some long hours, we all ate too much junk food, and several of us finished the weekend with sore shoulders, arms, and elbows. A special treat was the opportunity to meet Matthew & Co., a barbershop quartet made up of Frank Buttler, his father, brother and nephew. They can be heard on 'A Gaelic Blessing'.
