"I love doing the C2 +5 (the C2 that you have in your discription) and and leaving that the B and high E strings fingured that way for the G chord as well making it a G5. In fact it makes for really smooth transitions and neat harmonies by carrying…"

Danny L. Davis replied to Phil Williams's discussion ''Worship Moment' Competition - Win A Copy Of Power Music'"It was several months ago that I had a similar "tripping" experience. It is four steps up to the top of the platform and while I didn't try to take more than one at a time, they are not all the same height steps and on my way back up…"
Danny L. Davis replied to Phil Williams's discussion 'Worship Idol - Are Worship Leaders Becoming Like Contestants of American Idol?'"It might be a little naive on my part, but I would like to believe that most of the time when people ask about the music we do, the underlying Question is, "What music is God using in your house of worship that is helping people connect to God…"
Danny L. Davis replied to Phil Williams's discussion 'Worship Idol - Are Worship Leaders Becoming Like Contestants of American Idol?'"Great article with some valuable insights. I particularly liked some of Rinaldi's and Sweet's comments. One thing that comes to my mind however, in the discussion of the "industry" and the promotion of successful commodities in…"
Danny L. Davis replied to Phil Williams's discussion 'Worship Songs Aren't For The "Blokes" - Agree or Disagree?'"I find there to be frightfully few "Jesus is my boyfriend" songs, unless we have our mindset fixated on the sexual romantic type of love. I understand there are some that maybe push the boundary a little bit, but it is usually an arbitrary…"
Danny L. Davis replied to john smith's discussion 'How close do you "cover" other's material?'"I alternate between the KISS principle (Keep it simple, stupid) and "shimmering" the music. having only two instruments on a given Sunday (guitar, keyboard), and sometimes only guitar, we are very vocal and guitar driven - keyboardist is…"
Danny L. Davis replied to john smith's discussion 'Who Gets To Play?'"We are in a place of a limited number of musicians now, but I think some underlying principles still apply. We have about ten vocalists of varying giftedness participating now, which we have tried to place on teams according to their blend together.…"
Danny L. Davis replied to Andy Bartlomain's discussion 'Am I a Thief? Help Me Decide!'"You are not a thief as that indicates intent. Your intent was to glorify God. your process went through both you and your brother with the final product coming from one with no exposure to the original works in question, it would seem. That does not…"
Danny L. Davis replied to Andy Bartlomain's discussion 'Am I a Thief? Help Me Decide!'"Not sure he asked you to be a theological critic on his content, which if God put this song in his heart, you are not qualified to do anyway. we should probably stick to giving the help asked for as opposed to impressing our personal theological…"
Danny L. Davis replied to Colton Yarbro's discussion 'Crazy line-up changes....'"How much you want to get in terms of power is most affected by how much you "need" to hear what you "think" the congregation is hearing. And for the most part, you won't. You don't need a lot of power output if you have…"
Danny L. Davis replied to Phil Holburt's discussion 'There are some songs I dislike so much I get up early so I can dislike them for even longer....'"This stuff on Draw me Close is surprising to me because of the irony. For years when kids ask me about any value in secular music and it's values, I have told them the mark of a good love song with good values is if you could sing it to God as…"
Danny L. Davis replied to Phil Holburt's discussion 'There are some songs I dislike so much I get up early so I can dislike them for even longer....'"Try putting the bass line from "I was made for Loving You" by Kiss to it. I probably just became a complete reprobate to a lot of people, but it morphs it into a very high energy worship song for teens."
Danny L. Davis replied to Phil Holburt's discussion 'There are some songs I dislike so much I get up early so I can dislike them for even longer....'"Seriously you don't like "Above All" because of the Crucified thing? I guess I get that a little, but that can be better appreciated with a shift in application - using it for communion Sundays or Good Friday, sermons focused on…"
Danny L. Davis replied to Phil Holburt's discussion 'There are some songs I dislike so much I get up early so I can dislike them for even longer....'"We have no bass player so when we do this song I do the thirds on the guitar which is a hoot while I'm leading. Though we are amplified it is a definite "unplugged" sound and it works okay. I think the main issue is that the thirds…"

- About Me:
- 55 years old; 43 years in Iowa, 3 in Minnesota, 9 in Oklahoma. 20 years of secular music performing before being called out into ministry. Married 36 years, 2 married daughters, 5 grandchildren. I am solo pastor of a small, committed congregation that has had a new beginning in the past year, moving to a freshly built new church (mostly in-house labor) changing the name and working to have a fresh impact in our community. I lead the worship with three different teams of vocalists and most Sunday we only have my guitar instrumentally, although some weeks we are blessed to have keyboards, as well. I sing for several engagements a year outside the church as part of a Gospel Quartet named Cross Members, consisting of a southern Baptist minister, a worship team member from an independent Charismatic Church, a layman from a Mennonite Brethren Church and myself. Music has always been the direct line to my heart. On occasion I have the opportunity and joy to lead worship for some of the Wesleyan Flame weeks, which is a real hoot as several of us who often don't even know each other and are involved in worship in our home churches around the country come together cold and let God make a worship team out of us for a week. Videos of some of these times with myself and othersw are usually available on the "I Love Flame" group page on facebook.

Brother Danny,
Welcome to the Rock. There are a great number of resources here for those in the music ministry leadership, for songwriters and music composers.
I invite you to visit our page to listen to Eagles In Flight music on the player. I am band director, songwriter and lead vocalist for E.I.F. and we're celebrating our 12Th year of Praise, Worship and Christian Rock ballads. We perform free fellowship concerts throughout Central Virginia with a talented cast of Spirit filled musicians and singers who come together to celebrate Jesus!
You can download our music to your profile with the song link located at the top of you profile page. Just type in Eagles In Flight and you'll see 8 songs from our new CD. You can download a lot of great music from WTR from many Christian artists who are members of the Rock.
God Bless your ministry!
