Legacy Project

I celebrated my birthday over Easter weekend, and realized that it was a year ago that I launched the Legacy Project, recording “Greenseleeves & Puddin’ Pies”, a CD of Christmas/seasonal music in memory of my father, Richard Riding.

Here we are about a month into the Legacy project.  So far we have had two fundraisers and I have picked the music for the CD.  I thought you might be interested in hearing about the process of picking the pieces. When I first decided to record a CD of Christmas music, there were a […]
