Way back in the dark ages of Analog Tape Recording, Linda and I produced an album called "A Walk in the Desert," consisting of 12 original songs. Since then, we've made the move to digital music production, but we had not figured out til recently how to convert those old analog master tapes to the digital format. But praise God we got 'er done this weekend, including the added bonus of transferring four other completed songs that never make the final album cut (for space considerations, not necessarily quality of writing)! So...long story short, our planned re-release of "Walk in the Desert" has now been moved ahead significantly! We still need to go in and tweak each song clean it up digitally, and perhaps replace / augment some of the individual instruments. But my intent is not tamper too much with the original performances, as they still represent a "capsule in time," so to speak, of those songs.

Look here for more news on the planned CD remaster and release of "Walk in the Desert," soon, on Anastasis Records, with bonus tracks!

(note: we still have some cassette copies of WITD available for sale, at $5.00 apiece! Just go to "Contact" and let me know by email if you want to buy one and we'll get it right out to you!)

A few people have asked why the new CD is identified by the one word name "Trice," only.

Good question! I originally intended it because I was going to have all the vocals and instruments played only by family members of that surname! But when my daughters became unavailable to sing backup vocals, the musicians dwindled down to my wife, Linda, and me. So...I still thought it was rather cool to just use the surname, so if you see us in your town at a gig, it likely will be under the band name of just "Trice!" (We'll see how it goes).
