Talbot Sound hosted CeCe Winans for NPR's Tell Me More with Michel Martin.

Knowing that she's about to embark on tour, I was hoping she'd show up in a tour bus on the way out of town, so I could show off for the neighbors. But she was driven in a black BMW 650i, with very chrome wheels.

Listen to the interview here. (64kbps mp3)

Also, this was the first event using the recently-acquired Microtech Gefell MT 71 S mic. I like it very much.

The heat is on, the house is getting warm. I hope that in a few hours, the lower half of the inside will be nearly as warm as the upper half.

Looking forward to things like the bathroom not being cold, the pets being comfortable, warm food staying warm, no more space heaters (faithful and valiant things that they are), not feeling somewhat guilty holing up in the studio which has its own heat, and just maybe lower utility bills.
