New rock star.... Austyn Lee Moffat in the studio...
Ok... time for Grandpa to brag some....
Rocker Austyn Lee Moffat, 9 years old, is shown in photo above at the Flatland Recording Studio at 44th and Perkins Road in Stillwater, OK. Wednesday, June 3, 2009, laying down tracks for his new ep release. He is shown here recording "Isabella", a song about his new cousin Isabella, which he wrote and arranged the music for along with Other Lives lead singer Jesse Tabish. Jessie was Austyn's first guitar teacher and had a large influence in encouraging Austyn to "find his own voice" in music, which he has done quite well. Austyn wrote the words and music to "Cushing" about a field trip his class took to Cushing, OK. (I am sure there is a much longer title, but working in this field one learns to shorten things... haha). He recorded it as well.
Austyn was worked in after No Justice finished up their pre production on their new cd and the Chad Sullins Band finishing up a new cd for them, so the equipment was hot and things all fell into place.
Tony Pearce served as Sound Engineer and Producer of the recording. Tony is also Nick Gibson Band Harmony singer, Acoustic guitarist, and a great musician in his own right.
Ryan Reid, lead singer for the Ryan Reid Band, also assisted with equipment and in taking photos for Austyn's Grandpa, who was under the gun to get paychecks issued to artists, so he did not get to watch very long or even help.
Greg Pearce, owner of GP Management, said of Austyn after listening to his music... "Wow!" "Austyn has a lot of knowledge of the basics, and some you can not teach folks, they just have to know it, why I know artists that are mid life and don't have timing or syncing like he does, even on pitch!!"
Now if I can just get him signed to Redbud Entertainment before he signs with someone else... sigh...
Austyn ... I am very proud of how you handled your first recording session. I know pro's that couldn't walk in and in the time you spent do even a 10th as much as you did! Congrats on your first record! Now we need two more songs from you to make a full ep. Let me know if you want to do such. Gp M

from Melinda Bowman comes this note as she heads for surgery today. They are former neighbors of ours... living in home to the east of us.
Major surgery tomorrow/Wednesday
Posted 11 hours ago
Over here in Tulsa, it's a nice summer day. As I look out my window I see Old Glory flapping in the air, her bright colors standing out from the well manicured, green lawn below. It's after 5 p.m. and lots of my friends (CTCA employees) are eagerly making their way to their vehicles.
Beside me, Greg lays on his bed reading "The Shack" (good read!), while hanging out with me as I prepare for surgery tomorrow.
Until meeting with the surgeon today, I thought this was going to be a minor surgery. However, that is not the case. The surgeon plans for the surgery to take 6 to 8 hours, and I will be in the hospital 3 to 6 days.
As you all know, I've had some severe pain over the last few months. Amazingly, my pain doctor has been able to increase my meds to cover the pain as needed, and for some reason I'm still able to function as a normal human being. They've done lots of tests in the past few weeks, and think a mass by my tailbone is causing the problem, but they're not 100% sure.
Therefore, tomorrow they'll make a large incision to my tummy, check out what's going on inside, and with any luck and grace of God be able to identify and reverse the reason for my pain. He also mentioned maybe having to take some of my colon out.
There is a chance that I'll end up with a temporary collostomy, and some tubes for drainage when it's all said and done. My attitude about carrying a pain pump around 24/7 hasn't been too good, and I can't even imagine having to do the collostomy - so please pray those don't have to happen.
Greg's been exceptionally supportive and attentive to my situation, which has made everything seem much better than if I was going at this alone. Cooper is at Grandpa's this week working on his truck, and Rayanne has been spending time with a couple close friends who have children her age.
Just as our men and women have fought to keep that beautiful red, white, and blue flag whipping in the wind, I'm once again calling upon my troops to prayerfully go to war for me.
God bless you each and every one.
Love in Christ,
Malinda
