about

I was asked to remaster a CD containing music performed by my Great-Grandmother Mildred Furse and her daughter, my Great-Aunt Margret Thurston, recorded in 1993. I was unprepared for the emotional output of talent wrapped in devout humility that washed over as I listened to these performances. Each of the songs performed were chosen by my great aunts, uncles and immediate Grandmother LeAnn. All are incredible performances, a few LDS hymns and a few show numbers, however the last song, a performance of Ave Maria requested by my Great-Grandfather Charles Furse, stood out more than anything. I had to be a small part, even if my dearly departed musical ancestresses couldn't be here to tell me not to add such weird synth parts to this interpretation. I hope Mr. Schubert doesn't disapprove, wherever he might be.

I never had the musical knowledge to accompany them, nor did I attempt to do so while my Great Grandmother and her daughter, my Aunt Margret, were here on Earth. With this recording of Ave Maria, I found a way to convey my wish to spend time with them again, as well as contribute something to their angelic musical sensibilities.

The Furse family has always been an incredibly loving and supportive grand group of extended family. It shows in these performances, which were recorded as a historic tome for the family to pass down. I am grateful beyond words to help in chronicling my family's past.

Thank you for listening
