I want to share this song with you. I wrote it for all of us who have feared, who have failed and ultimately who have found life by pursuing the vision that God has place in us from the time we were born. Do you have dreams unexpressed or unfulfilled? Are you afraid of falling, afraid of taking the “chance” to be more than comfortable and safe? Life is not found in our sustained comfort and marginal living, or even in the temporal success we might find on this earth. …

I have watched my son Newell as he has grown into music over the last 10 years since he was born and I have tried not to push him too much into a love – hate relationship with music. I had come to accept that he was serious when he would say “I don’t really love to play the piano. I would rather learn how to make cool Lego stuff”. Although I know that in our family, music is kind of front and center, I’ve always promised myself that …

On behalf of Christmas, I would like share my song with you “Once Upon A Christmas Eve” as sung by Kathy Chiovola.
In the hustle and bustle of this Christmas season where everyone is in a hurry to take advantage of the sales, or to take the family to see the newest Christmas movie that came out, or make sure we get all of the groceries we need to have a banquet on Christmas day, and then start planning for after Christmas sales so that we can save a bundle on …

I admit I was singing to a very sympathetic crowd at this event, a benefit for the Washington State Family Policy Institute. It was a wonderful night of people sharing their hearts about what it means to be a Christian Conservative in this day and age. My brother in law, Victor Morris and his wife, my sister Jennifer, were responsible for helping to organize the event and asked me to sing. I guess, when God moves I listen! It was truly a great time for everyone there and you could …

I want to indulge myself on this blog post and share a song with you that I wrote for my beautiful wife Carrie. I haven’t listened to “Anyone Would’ve Wanted To” for a long time now and decided it might be fun to share with you on our thirteenth wedding anniversary. As I listened to the lyrics it was as if I was listening with new ears.
When I wrote and demoed this song we were investing in real estate and doing quite well. Carrie however was not doing well physically, …

On the Anniversary of 9-11 I decided to create this video of USA Today as recorded with the vocal help of Ron Hemby in Nashville. I felt it was important to share the original song with you because I feel these lyrics are more timeless than the changes I made in the first verse for Lee Greenwood’s recording of this song. So in the spirit of timelessness, my prayer is that the message in this song will forever resonate with every patriotic American who hears it and that …

I have been amazed at how quickly our once Christian nation has descended into moral relativism and Secular Humanism. God’s once tangible covering of protection and prosperity is slowly being taken away and what is left is fear and despair along with the uneasy feeling that we will soon go the way of Rome. We are seeing the rapid dismantling of our free enterprise system into centralized government control. Sound familiar? Just look at Europe. What is worse, is the moral and spiritual poverty that now besets us in …

We live in the land of rain! A long Summer here is oh…about two months. The Northwest is a beautiful area though because the rain keeps everything green. God has blessed this area with spectacular sunsets, and clouds….. oh those magnificent  cumulonimbus  that reflect every color of the rainbow as they drift in from the Pacific floating on a background of azure blues, crimson reds. They are very soothing to the eyes, and since my eyes need as much soothing as possible after the strabismus surgery I had a few …

I am a real story song kind of guy! When I was traveling back from Nashville after a very cool session with great musicians and a great studio, I was feeling real proud of my accomplishment and sure that my new quiver of songs would hit the mark and I would end my cycle of endless near misses and “almost made its”.
As I sat in the concourse at The Nashville International Airport I found myself sitting next to a man who was very poorly dressed, unshaved, unshowered, and basically …
