MUSIC PROJECTS:
Celia's first CD accomplishment is called Songs of My Father's People. She has just finished mastering a new recording project, due to be completed in mid-May 2012. I'll Just Lie About It sounds great and includes Bay Area luminaries Patrice Haan, Tony Marcus, Jeff Sanford & John Wiitala.
Unlike her first CD, which features traditional Scottish songs, this project reveals Celia's alter-ego, that of jazz chanteuse. But Celia is most excited about about the new album because it's her debut as a songwriter, and includes some wonderful jazz standards from the 1940s. Watch for announcements of release events!
