Had a blast recording one of my favorite Christmas Songs….Silent Night.
Some Tech info about the project.
For this project I used Garage Band for all recording….I used my hollow body for most of the jazz comps and solo. However, I switched to my Les Paul copy for the solo at the end. I used an basic electric bass for the low end…just another Fender copy… However, I had to program the drums…Looking forward to getting a drum set ASAP. For vocals…I used the compresser and other effect right out of garage band…

Been in a Hendrix mood lately…Thought I would add yet another cover of his song, Little Wing to the long list of renditions already out there.
I tried to hold to the spirit and style that Hendrix originally added to the song… Only I am afraid I didn’t have a Lesly and a Glockenspiel laying around so I had to improvise. Read more...

Just finished this John Mayor cover….Gravity. I hope that he doesn’t mind me recording a cover of this song. I have been a fan of John’s music for some time and when a friend of mine turned me on to this song some time ago I just had to learn it. It is simple and brilliant tune. Along with “Daughters” and “Waiting on the World to Change,” it is one of my favorite songs to sing and play. Read more...

This is just the solo from the song Sanity Check.
Full Song – Sanity Check
Finally finished a little stock music project that I have been working on. It was a song I wrote several years ago. My friend Mark Herring might remember a late night messing around at Light House Productions recording an early version this thing…good times. Read more...

Best I can remember, I have always had sensitivity for people in need and I have always been open to people from all different walks of life. When I was growing up I would see the problems in the world and I would hurt inside when I would see how people treated each other and how we treated our planet. I guess you can say that I was one of those bleeding hearts. Back a few years ago I learned that in all my compassion and all my “feelings” for people in need, I was only seeing half the picture when it comes to doing something about it. I learned that God does view the world with compassion. But he also views it with justice. If you study God’s compassion and justice in the Bible, you would be hard pressed to find any situation where God separates the two. Perhaps most importantly, I learned that there is a Godly compassion and justice that goes beyond the finite view of compassion and justice that we might see in the social systems of our world.

This post is dedicated to young church leaders who are just starting out. As we move into the future you will be serving in a world of digital natives. You will be serving in a world where significance will be measured by how many followers you have in your Google circles instead of how faithful you are to God. This post is for you. Read more...

He Knows My Name, Tommy Walker
He Knows My Name is one of my favorite songs by Tommy Walker. I put together a little blues version of the song and I think I finally have a recording that is not too embarrassing. I used my Les Paul copy Guitar, a Fender knockoff for Bass, and all drums/effects are in Garage Band…a virtual band on a budget.
