    Vivaldi – Gloria Antonio Vivaldi is my hero. Not so much for his music but his life. His music is okay but it can become a little old after awhile. In the words of Liszt, Vivaldi wrote a great concerto — seven hundred times. His music sounds too homogeneous. But, there may be a very good…

    I was in the kitchen this morning practicing my latest guitar creation. Wish I could figure out why I only write guitar music that I can barely play. Anyway, that’s a topic for a different time. On to our point for today. We have a few house mice that are thankfully thinning out. I heard…

    Originally printed in the Lookout Valley Informer This is the sixth year that I have sponsored a Christian poetry contest. Every year I answer the same question – “Why is a preacher sponsoring a poetry contest?” The answer is simple. All art, but poetry especially, is important in the army of God. There are three…

    Originally printed in the Lookout Valley Informer I often hear fans talk about Gospel music without any reference to the Word of God. That shouldn’t be. Many Bible verses apply to Gospel music either directly or indirectly. Let me demonstrate by considering just three aspects of Gospel music – purpose, process, and product. Purpose. Gospel…
