Kaylen Wells was asked to contribute a song for a Christmas compilation that her church would later sell to raise money for a charitable organization.
Kaylen chose this song and graciously asked me to record with her.
We went into the studio and Kaylen sang the melody to a click. She then put me on the spot and told me to create a layered percussion part.
So I got on my knees and started playing around with my percussion toys on the floor of the studio... When I was all done (hours later!!) Kaylen stepped up to the mic and over dubbed her harmonies effortlessly, like the pro that she is, in minutes!...
I think her intro ( "A song of humanity is born...") was an after thought, an inspiration that came to her when we thought the song was done... we simply tagged it on to the top.
This was recorded in 1990 on an 8-track Tascam reel to reel.
I only have a cassette copy from which to upload.... I'm trying to find a master for future use... In the meantime, enjoy!
