            <title>New Big Band CD in the works...</title>
            <link>http://camithompson.com/blog.html/new_big_band_cd_in_the_works</link>
            <description><![CDATA[So I've been busy in the Penryn CA studio of Guy Kowarsh the last month, re-recording my vocal tracks over the 4-year-old originals from a February 2006 live multi-tracked recording he made during a wonderful performance with the Reno Jazz Orchestra. In order to improve my performance and sound quality, I am choosing to re-do all my vocals, but... I have to carefully match my originals, as they had "bled" onto other microphones (horns/ piano/ drums) and we get a bit of a ghost effect. But that is to be expected with most live recordings, and hopefully the listener can enjoy the energy and beauty of a live concert in their living room when this is ready! I love working on the great repertoire of 1930's, 40's and 50's "Great American Songbook" selections like "The Nearness of You", "I've Got the World on a String", "It Don't Mean a Thing", "When I Fall in Love", "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" - a cornucopia of great love songs! Guy is AWESOME to work with - I highly recommend him for any recording project you are considering, and the Reno Jazz Orchestra is kickin' it with the swingin' grooves! I hope you'll enjoy it! Expecting a late August release?]]></description>

            <title>Olympians</title>

            <description><![CDATA[Ok - just a few thoughts about some of my favorite Olympic athletes so far...<br />Seth Wescott is adorable! what a kick he is! and so damn cute!!!! Go boarders! <br />So sad for Lindsey Jacobellis - too bad girls just can't have fun AND win gold!<br />Shaun White never disappoints and he must have pulled it out big time for this event, though I actually haven't watched this yet either...<br /><br />Big kudos to Alexandre Bilodeau - for the love of a brother - such compassion and determination, and MAN can he fly! Can't wait to watch the ariels competitions.<br /><br />Alpine - only a few of my good friends know how much I love to ski, and even fewer know that I raced on the amateur circuit for several years back in the 80's when I was a quasi-ski bum - won alot of medals, mostly golds, especially important was the women's GS at Mammoth in 1990... so Alpine racing is really fun for me to watch. But I haven't seen any of it yet this week (we're recording everything - gotta work sometime!) except Bodi -whoohooo!!! that was UNREAL fast - crazy stomach-wrenching fast! Until you've skied even HALF that speed, you have no idea how BRILLIANT and TERRIFYING it feels to be on the edge of wipe-out! (I LOVE speed!)<br />And I heard the rumor that Lindsey Vonn BRANG it!) Hope to watch that tomorrow.<br /><br />I just finished watching men's figure skating - wow wow wow!<br />Evan Lysacek is amazing - what depth of character! and such grace and power. And what a beautiful man. I hope he can continue this path Friday.<br />And I feel so sorry for Jeremy Abbott - the pressure must be so huge!<br />And I TOTALLY think Johnny Weir got ripped off on his scores - he is superb! I love that he is willing to be himself and fully self-expressed and daring - go baby!<br />But MAN, that young Japanese kid Takahiko Kozuka SOARED! I can't wait to see what he will do in a few years! The Japanese look strong - Friday's show will be awesome and tense! Plushenko got WAY too high marks for my taste - his arm-throwing was over the top, and he did not relate to his music - I think the Russian dominance of skating is past its peak.<br /><br />Pairs was pretty heart-breaking and disappointing with all the falls, but hey - you don't see ME on the ice! I love that the Chinese 4th-timers won - so awesome for them and their coach.<br /><br />Well, just had to share some thoughts - enjoy the Games! We need to be lifted past our apathy and search our hearts for OUR old dreams... and new ones.<br /><br />Peace and Light!]]></description>
