About Me:

I've been a musician for 40+ years, been a Christian for 30 years this coming Jan. 13. Ain't that a whole lotta Love & Grace. I had been priviledged to be a worship leader-directer-pastor-volunteer chaplain but I allowed discouragement to chase me from ministry to the desert 8 yrs. ago, yet God is faithful to preserve. He brought me to my wife 6yrs ago and He used her to get me back to His service and he answered my prayer that Her restore to me the joy of my salvation & He renewed a right spirit in me. So I joined the church He led us to & began to minister in music again. Praise God from whom all blessings flow like a river in it's seasons.Now, ain’t that a whole lotta more Love & Grace.

Favourite Music:

Everything. From Ancient to classical to Celtic to Hymns to Early American to the Foster-influenced American movement, the Black-experience Spirituals and field songs, to Jazz-Blues-Soul-Reggae to bluegrass and country and western, to rock & roll, to the bands of the 60's-70's, Punk, New Wave, Alternative, some metal, some new metal, some pop, and love rhythms from around the world. I particularly love when other Christians redeem these for Gods glory, as per Martin Luther's suggestion.

Favourite Books / Authors

The Bible. David and Asaph and Soloman and the fellas. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Paul, Peter, John, and all the other guys. Also Allen Redpath, good ol' C.S. and J.R.R., Wilder-Smith, Spurgeon, and Pink, and Galbreith. I like The Stand and Ghost Story, Robert Heinlein, and Tom Clancy. I love to read historical works based on diary and journal discoveries.

Favourite Bible Verses / Passages:

There are so many but lately been contemplating, and writing on the cud that contemplation produces, on Isaiah 40:29-31, plus the rest of 40, and on Matthew's 11:28-30.
