Ted is gifted at arranging music and bringing together remarkable musicians. This project is a collection of hymns and other spirituals. Check out the CD over at Digstation and let us know what you think.


Movies
We reviewed:

• Bolt - See it in 3-D, if you can. Just be aware that theaters are charging $2 more per ticket for 3-D. We both think this is a fun movie with great animation and it is definitely worth seeing for the whole family.
