Details:
"Quiet Waters' is a piano and instrumental compilation of both contemporary and traditional hymns.

Barb has been playing piano at church functions and other events over the years. She loves to play, and has within the last year been playing for some extra income. To build up her business, (something she has always wanted to do)she decided to record a demo CD that she could give out to places that host special events. Recently, she has played at a number of events around the greater Cincinnati area.
While she was recording her demo at the Praise Factory Recording Studio, here in College Hill (in greater Cincinnati), Bishop Todd O'Neill (co-owner with Tony Williams) happened to stop in. After listening to her music, he and Tony encouraged her to record a full-length CD. Her husband, Steve, and their son, Joshua have both been telling her over the years that she should record her music. After the demo was completed, she began recording some hymns. When she plays, she often doodles around and plays whatever comes into her fingers. So 'Quiet Waters'was not pre-meditated, but each song was played and recorded pretty much spontaneously.
Barb often plays the piano to de-stress. She has several instrumental albums at home that she listens to when she need to de-stress' also. She wanted her music to be that way. One day, while she was playing, the Lord, she believes, gave her the title "Quiet Waters. She wrote it down so she would not forget it. Her hope is that besides being glorifying to God, that 'Quiet Waters' will help to quiet and lift your spirits.
Barb's mother, Ruth Lemon, did the beautiful watercolor on the cover. Chris Miller, graphic artist of College Hill Presbyterian Church (CHPC) also, helped to design the front cover. Chris did all of the graphics and designed the rest of the inserts. Linda Crank and Chris both offered a lot of advice. Quiet Waters is also for sale in a number of local retail and Christian bookstores, but Barb prefers to sell them herself, or through CD Baby as most bookstores take a pretty large cut. Ten percent of profits will go to missions through our church, CHPC.
Barb feels that God has been giving her messages of encouragement over the last year. One thing she wants to say to others is, if you have a passion, no matter how old you are, let God guide you and show you what He wants you to do. Barb never dreamed she could do this. Every time she felt like giving up, He encouraged her through others' encouragement or things she would read, hear, or see. He can do the same for you if you allow Him to.
