Tequilla is my Friend Tonight, new music produced in Columbia Sybille Tuuha is a powerful, powerful lyricist and vocalist," says JIM, the trusted friend and writer on columbiamagazine.com whose words frequently weave our past artfully into the present. Her songs are produced by Danny Bailey in Columbia's Red Brick Studios - Jukka Tuuha says studios don't get any better than this - and the first release includes a song dedicated to all first responders, especially those who pulled Sybille from the wreckage, saving her life. By Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com A cold, windy day was suddenly warmed and brightened by delightful sound coming from a CD produced on the public square in Columbia, KY. The songs were written and performed by Sybille Tuuha of Canada and Columbia. The CD was produced and directed by Danny Bailey of Columbia. And the finished sound is like something straight out of Music City USA. Canadians Sybille and Jukka Tuuha might never have crossed paths with the local production studio except that they purchased the old Field House on the corner of Reed and Fortune Streets in Columbia and then went for a walk around "their new village square". Canadian winters led them to board horses in Tennessee. They fell in love with the Bluegrass State driving through from Canada. Looking at property, she says the old Field house kept popping up in her searches, and she said the house looked sad. She was intrigued by the history of it she'd found on Columbia magazine.com, and bought the Field House sight unseen. The singer said they loved the village square with the historic courthouse. In the beginning stages of restoration work on the house, they enjoyed a walk around their new village square and discovered the studio. They paused at the entrance because Sybille is a song writer and singer who'd wanted to make a recording, but was uncertain. Jukka, who calls himself Sybille's biggest fan, insisted, "this is your dream, you must go in." They did go in and the dream has come true, but it didn't happen in a straight line. They met Danny Bailey and his wife Linda, got started planning and then something terrible stopped the progress -- Sybille was almost killed in a wreck when a texting driver T-boned her vehicle. This initial CD includes a song dedicated to first responders, especially those who pulled her from the wreckage and saved her life. It took nearly two years through long days of recovery and therapy before she could pick up her music again. Sybille, now two years away from their initial plans, told Jukka that her vocal chords had changes from the injuries received in the accident. She didn't believe she could sing any longer. Jukka refused to accept that and worked to tie down their contract for production at Red Brick. Dates were locked down and the budget was set to book the best musicians available for Sybille. Danny said of her demo, created on a keyboard in a horse trailer in Canada, he'd heard a little bit of Cheltic in her voice, and a little bit of Spanish in the words to her first song, "Tequilla is my Friend Tonight". Sybille said the producer was able to hear what was to come, not just what was first presented in her demo, "Danny has a perfet ear, he hears every note." She said, "I broke down and cried when I heard the results of the sound bite we'd sent Danny which he and the professional musicians made sound like I was accompanied by a full orchestra. I'd never thought this dream would become a reality." Jukka says, "studios don't get any better than this -- you won't find better quality production facilities anywhere in the world." And so it had become that the harsh Canadian winters, so hard on their horses, sent the Tuuha family south. And traveling through Kentucky resulted in their internet search for property. In that search, the lonely old Field House lured them and found itself new owners. And the historic Adair County Courthouse called them to walk around the Public Square in their adopted village. In the shadow of that Courthouse, on the corner of the Public Square and Burkesville Street, the dreamers from Canada crossed paths with the dreamers who'd built Red Brick Studios (another story in the works for later) and the resulting music they made together is available online so you can listen right now. Click here to link to the first six songs recorded in Columbia, KY. The word-master JIM listened and listened, and then he listened some more and reviewed, "My favorite is "In the Darkness," somewhat of a folk anthem-hymn of hope, a song that belongs in the stratosphere with Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind," that sentiment coming from a huge Dylan fan, a guy who takes his music very, very seriously. I was also enchanted -- and deeply touched -- by "Sunset Waltz," and found an understated joy in the lilting "Old Salt." "Streets of Broken Dreams" is a haunting song, and "What Would I Do" is soothing, very comforting." "Tequilla is my Friend Tonight" is our very favorite of the six songs, but Ed and I continue to listen, just in case another one might become the favorite -- and Juuka says there are more songs working! We'll keep you posted. This story was posted on 2018-04-03 00:02:11
