As it turns out, the audition video for America’s Got Talent can now be 2 to 3 minutes instead of the previous 90 seconds. (I never did figure out how I was going to do the “minute and a half thing” without hacking my precious original to death!)  Once the song could be a little longer, it was a “piece of cake” to put an abbreviated version together.  So, the shoot was a week ago, and extremely fun.  Two days later we edited the visual, making decisions about which camera view to use where.  (I’ve never been a part of the edit before, and was surprised to find it quite amusing!)  Tomorrow we mix the audio.  (I’m kind of an old hand at adjusting  sound levels, but it’s always exciting to “frost the freshly baked cake”!)   Then, off my submission will go to A.G.T.  Shortly after, we’ll have it up on You Tube.  Go to “Cynthia Bythell Channel” and look for my song, The Wish Planet.  Hope you enjoy it….

    Last night was nearly sleepless, with lists of things to do running through my head, along with startling realizations of things I’d forgotten about entirely (like writing this note to you around the beginning of the month). Sometimes the holidays feel like a fast moving train coming right at me! Fortunately, the rough night prompted…

    It’s the “month of love” again.  As always, I’m deeply grateful for my loving partner of multiple decades, loving parents who live on in my heart, and so many loving friends and business relationships.  This year I’m looking beyond personal relationships at the bigger picture.  Yep, I’m thinking really BIG! Here goes: I aspire to love each moment.  (That…
