Music is Medicine

I can't help but feeling so overwhelmed at times and grateful to God for allowing me to share the gift of music He gave me with appreciative audiences. And even if they don't "get it", they "heard" the message. I think it to be a great responsibility of what God has placed in me.

My message is LOVE. At times when I hear and see the news on TV, it gets harder to sing of love....There is so much dispicable crime against human beings out there....It makes me believe this world is truly headed down "the path", if you know what i mean. I have to struggle with singing about love when you hear of a child being tortured or murdered; an elderly person being abused, beaten up or taken advantage of....But I realize that my job is to touch just one someone with my music....It is possible by them hearing "my message" of love, it will help them share it with someone else.

I pray that God's gift in me will touch everyone within ear-shot. Please pass the LOVE on!

There's a praise on the inside, that I can't keep to myself. A holler stirring up from the depths of my soul. But excuse if I seem a little giddy, maybe even strange, but praise is the way I say Thanks! Glory to God!

A Gift From God

"You furnish lovely music at your grand parties; the orchestras are superb! But for the Lord you have no thought or care." Isaiah 5:12

Every day, I thank God for the music inside of me. And when I get to share it and it touches someone, WOW...I feel that I was a blessing to that person. Music is a gift from God. It should be used for HIS purpose first, then for your own purpose....be it financial or fame.

I always try to remember to put God first before I perform.

A BIG DOSE

I had a big dose of "medicine" the other night when I was performing with George Mesterhazy, Tim Lekan, Bob Shomo, Barry Miles, and Joe Barrett in Cape May. The music was of songs from the Great American Songbook that were inspired by French, Spanish, & Brazilian composers....Songs like, Perdido, Triste, Autumn Leaves...to name a few. With all the things I've been going thru in my personal life, this DOSE of medicine was MUCH needed. AND I TOOK THE MEDICINE! ummmmmmgoood!
