"Livin' Fee in the U.S. of A."

In 2003, we had the pleasure and privilege of working at Skywalker Sound in Marin County, CA. It is located at George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. Soroca & Allocca produced the Marin Children's Chorus singing back-up to their patriotic song, "Livin' Free in the U.S. of A."
Here are some photos of the talented kids from the chorus. They really did a great job! Karen, I'd just like to once again extend my thanks to you for providing me and all the rest of the group with the amazing opportunity to record a professional song. It really meant a lot to all of us to experience that process early in our lives. I was so excited to work on your project and your support was essential to our success. I would also like you to know that partly because of that experience, I now have signed my self up for an audition with Sharon Dennis, a major manager in the music industry. Thanks again for your unfailing confidence in us as a choir and as a group of young people. God Bless, Jes Levine

"Santa, May I Hitch a Ride on Your Sleigh?"

Jace, Jace, lend me an ear! Jace Smith of Shelter Studio engineered, played guitar and co-produced the song. He said his mom likes the song so much she's been playing it for patrons at her restaurant in Long Branch, New Jersey.
	Above, is our mucho talented vocalist, Teresa James. Teresa also sings on our song "Wise Woman". To the left is Skip Waring. He arranged our Salvation Army band bridge section and played three horns... all at the same time! (Well, not quite).
