A quick greeting.

Things are hectic. But very very fulfilling! Sorry this will be super short, but Eddie and I have our next to last concert tonight. Every single one of the concerts has been sold out and the reponse to the program and the new album "Inner Sanctum" has been phenomenal.
In all the hullabaloo, a friend send me this little video which has absolutely made my day. Everyone who has a dog or loves dogs will LOVE this, 'cause they know it's true.
Tomorrow we finish up our series of Christmas tours with a concert that will be filmed for a EPK. (Electronic Press Kit). So, if you're there, maybe you'll be in the video! :) So wear something brightly colored so that you can spot yourself in the film!
I'm wishing you all a beautiful 4th Advent Sunday. The waiting is almost over.....
Now sit back for a minute and reflect on the simple truth in this little video. love, cae

Our baby has arrived!


INNER SANCTUM has arrived!!! I actually held one in my hand- and I have a hallway full of boxes full of INNER SANCTUM CDs full of lots of Cae & Eddie & Florian and amazing, timeless music.

It's beginning to feel like Christmas.


I just got back from the Beauty Salon. I only go twice a year. (I know! Unbelievable!) One of those times is the week before our first Christmas concert. Sooooo, guess what's on the very near horizon? Yup. Cae & Eddie Christmas concerts! Yippeeeee!
We rehearsed yesterday for many many hours. Me and Eddie and Luke and Florian. And Peter our sound guy was there, too, to listen to the new songs and the playbacks so that he could create a beautiful sound landscape for each song. The audio system company FOHHN is sponsoring us with the most amazing new sound system. You can see what Peter will be using here: http://www.fohhn.com/index.php?id=12&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=436&cHash=78f9473a87
It is state-of-the-art high tech and just perfect for our "made-by-hand" vocals. Thank you, FOHHN !
The rehearsal went surprisingly well considering I have a nagging cough, and Florian had just gotten home from a Söhne Mannheims concert in Hamburg in the wee hours of the morning. At some point we discovered that we all had a bit of a headache so we all felt sorry for each other and ourselves. A bonding moment.
We really like the program that we have put together. There are some tried and true numbers, some new songs from our new album, "Inner Sanctum", and, of course, some surprises.
Our first concert is this Sunday, December 6 in Russheim. Then on Monday we will be singing in the Kammertheater in Karlsruhe. We've put together a slightly altered program for that audience to accommodate the "theater" atmosphere. Edo Zanki will be singing with us on at least 1 song. That will definitely be fun!
If you want to know where the concerts will be you can find the schedule on my website: www.caegauntt.de and then click at the bottom under "Meeting Places".
So many things to think of. Transportation, sound system, health, program, dog-sitter, what to wear, texts, Lifelines and CDs.
Did somebody just mention CDs ????? :)
WE'RE GETTING OUR NEW CDS DELIVERED - TOMORROW!!!!!!!!
We are so excited. Soon we will actually be holding the baby in our hands. What a long birth this has been.
So, dear Reader, this was just a quick note to get you up to date. Gotta run, because I've got a couple of people coming to look at Lifelines BEFORE they are for sale at the concerts. They want first choice. Whatever they don't buy, I'll have with me on Sunday in Russheim.
