the making of a dream

One night as I was pondering Christmas music for my new CD, I had an idea. I had always loved the song, "Do You Hear What I Hear" when I was a child. As I sat at my piano, I could hear myself singing it in a new way, however...with some new chords and a different feel than most arrangements I have heard. That night I made a crude demo of my idea and sent it to producer Billy Smiley at about 2 AM. I told Billy that I could hear a 'Phil Keaggy-ish' guitar sound in the arrangement never dreaming that Phil would one day actually play the song and record a music video with me! The morning after I made the demo, my husband called and said he had had a dream that I recorded the song, 'Do You Hear What I Hear'!

 

So here is the dream come to life - Phil Keaggy playing the sound that I heard in my head. May we all have faith like a child to see what God sees and hear what He hears!
