We enjoyed working with Caroline. We had a very happy time recording her "That's Who I Am" CD. When Caroline arrived at the studio she often brought with her delicious jumbo sandwiches for us - what a lovely lass!
We recorded a CD single with Roger. He shared so many wonderful stories with us. More pics soon.
