Sure you're game for all this? Grab a soda...
In March of 2009, Covenant Communications released this book using the lyrics of "An Angel To Watch Over Me" as text, along with a companion CD of music dedicated to womanhood.
The CD actually contains the song twice... once at the beginning (sung by James), and again at the end (sung by Colleen). They contacted me about doing it just as James and I were in the middle of working on the harmonized version, so the track on the CD is solo voice--the harmonies weren't done yet. Between the two tracks are songs by various artists. (Here's the list if you're interested: Joshua Creek, Lynne Perry Christofferson, Cori Connors, Lauri Carrigan, Briette Peterson, Jessie Clark Funk, Jennie Frogley, David Blasucci, Lindsi Houskeeper and Jesse Thurgood.)
Both Colleen and James were accompanied by noted pianist Marshall McDonald (who, talented man, was improvising on both tracks--no score), using the piano that used to feature on the Donny and Marie Osmond show way back when. (Look that one up on YouTube... a real blast from the past. Did we really wear that stuff?)

The book contains gorgeous artwork by some wonderful artists. Since I'm devoid of any (and I do mean ANY) talent in that area, it's impressive to me to see the broad range of styles and emotions in this collection.
Now on to the really amazing part... the "About the Author" propaganda on the dust cover... (sounds vain doesn't it?)... I didn't write it... someone else did, and they did a great job... I appreciate the light-heartedness of it.... BUT... "Sally DeFord was born a long time ago" didn't have to be followed by an exact year, did it? ;)
If you are interested in purchasing it, you can get it at Deseret Book, Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, and I suspect a few other places since all the databases seem to be connected these days.
