Hinckley http://www.addisonkirk.com/2008/12/til-we-meet-again-in-honor-of-gordon-b-hinckley/ http://www.addisonkirk.com/2008/12/til-we-meet-again-in-honor-of-gordon-b-hinckley/#comments Fri, 19 Dec 2008 22:47:14 +0000 Addison http://www.addisonkirk.com/blog/?p=202 This album features beautiful piano arrangements of hymns including “My Redeemer Lives” — the text for which was written by Gordon B. Hinckley.

President Gordon B. Hinckley (1910-2008) is one of those people who touched each one of us in a special way. We will all remember him for his cheerful attitude, his sense of humor, and his gentle way of reminding us that “we can do better.” It came as a shock to all of us when he passed away — we thought he would live forever, yet suddenly he was gone.

I wanted to do something to honor our beloved Prophet, so I set out on a 21 day quest to create an album in his honor. ‘Til We Meet Again: In Honor of Gordon B. Hinckley is the result of that effort. This President Hinckley tribute album is one that you can listen to over and over.

I want to thank you all for your input, support, and patience during this project. I hope you enjoy the music as much as I did making it.

Have a merry christmas!

P.S. — I’m working on a new song. I may post it as a free download when it’s done…but we’ll see how it turns out. :D

Your project (SO00421585) has been sent to production and has an estimated completion date of 12/15/2008.

I am so excited! They are being sent by 2nd day air to get them to me quickly. Once I receive the ginormous shipment of CD’s, the plan is to get them shipped out to all of you as soon as possible. You have waited long enough!

The other good news is that I have received an order for 200 copies to be sent to missionaries. What a great gift for these young men and women (as well as the not-so-young). When I was out in the field, good music was something that everyone couldn’t get enough of.

Thank you for your patience! You will be holding the copies you ordered soon!

-Addison

P.S. — I ordered a few extra, in case you hadn’t placed your order yet. Place your order now.

Plus, listen to the entire CD now. http://www.addisonkirk.com/2008/11/were-almost-there-plus-listen-to-the-entire-cd-now/ http://www.addisonkirk.com/2008/11/were-almost-there-plus-listen-to-the-entire-cd-now/#comments Sat, 08 Nov 2008 05:31:17 +0000 Addison https://www.hinckley21.com/?p=84 You already know my CD is coming out. But the question on your mind is “When?”

Here’s the update. I’ve received permission from all of the copyright owners to use my arrangements in my album! That means we’re almost there! I apologize that it has taken so much longer than expected, especially to all of you who pre-ordered. The pre-order link will only be up for a few more days until I send in the order in for the discs to be professionally manufactured, so if you are wanting a copy, order one now.

But for now, I’ve posted the entire album to listen on my site. Just click the link below, sit back, relax, and enjoy the music! 

Listen to the entire album now.

I think the album turned out awesome! Thank you all for your help. I couldn’t have done it without YOU.

Take care!

P.S. — I am temporarily home from my mission to heal from a spiral fracture of my femur. But don’t worry — I’m OK. Find out how it happened on my personal blog.
