All bass, rhythm guitars and drums are complete. I am moving forward with my own vocals. However, I do have a couple of peeps wanting to do vocals for me, and I am giving them a test song to try. So, I will continue working with my vocals until someone blows my mind with what they can do.

I have the leads back now for 4 songs. All 12 songs have been sent to various players, but some have not even acknowledged that they got the tracks. I am not going to hound them. However, I will not wait forever as I do have a couple of guitarists who are just a lot more willing to work on these. I'll start reassigning those tracks to my guitarist who are actually sending something back to me.

Who are the guitarists working for me so far?

David Franey (local guy from Nashville that answered a Craigslist ad)
Kevin Hasselquist (posts at CMR as Lifemetal777--has a band called Sardis that you will be hearing from soon)
JD Evans (Mastermind behind Letter 7)

OK, you heard it hear first!

It's good to read the Mission Of One news.

JD Evans.... that's cool ..... very cool.
That will rock.

Keep us posted about all Mission Of One news.

Sabidoo has a friend named Dave who helped him do that Obama shirt that he talked about. Dave has agreed to help me with the inserts, and hopefully he will be starting on the artwork soon.

With the title "Hostile To The Gospel", I still see the front artwork as a church on fire with a cross in the middle of the flames that seems to be repelling the fire. For the back cover, I think a closer shot of the cross repelling the flames would be cool.

Kevin does bring some youth to the table, but he is an old school player. His leads fit the song he sent to me perfectly. I've given him a couple more songs to play with.

As far as vocals go, I may go the Mastedon/Liberty 'n Justice route with multiple singers. The difference is, though, is that these people will be more unheard of. I may still do one or two songs myself just for giggles.

It all seems pretty cool to me. Great to hear you've got JD Evans on board, as I love his Letter 7 stuff.

The idea you have about the inserts seem pretty cool.

No matter how many vocalists you have ... as long the songs still rock.
That's important.

I am still waiting for leads from one guitarist. I will say that this dude, since he just recently said he would play, will really be humbling to have on the disc. I have every CD this player puts out.

Cryptic, wasn't it?

I have to send a couple of songs to another player this week.

Oh man your driving me nuts with this secrecy. Hmmm is it Jon Hooper?

No. Jon had injured his hand during the summer and was unable at the time. So, he will not be appearing. He is the guitarist on the song that he, Thomas Wilson, and I did for the Deliverance Tribute CD, though.

It's like a cryptical game.
We have to guess who you mean.

But .... I'm so looking forward to this new Mission Of One.
Know you don't have much time to work on the CD now you have a day job.
Trying to teach the kids a lot.

I would guess, but I'd get it wrong, so I won't!

Good to hear that things are coming along well though.
