I’ve probably mentioned it here before that although I’m sure most of it is well-meaning, I just can’t get into most modern worship music. I’m not sure what exactly it is, but to my ears so much of it has a sanitized, homogenized, “Stepford Wives” sort of quality to it. Maybe it’s the heavy-handed audio […]
It’s a white as snow kinda love Redemption red kinda grace Love of the Father, kind, kind Jesus Calling out my name He said, do not be afraid Don’t give your song away Weeping lasts a moment but Joy is here to stay, it’s here to stay I lift my eyes up to the Heavens And open wide to […]
Back in 2012, singer-songwriter Kate York released a little-known Christian-themed EP called ‘New’, which I believe was available only via iTunes. I even made an exception to my policy of not buying music from Apple’s proprietary, walled garden ecosytem in order to get it. This is my favorite track from that EP.

Converting Phil Keaggy’s ‘Getting Closer’ LP prompted me to go back through some other selections in the Keaggy catalog. I had kind of forgotten about the title track from his 1981 LP, ‘Town To Town’. A little rock, a touch of jazz-rock, some electric, some acoustic…lots of guitar goodness here…
I’ve recently gotten the bug to do some more LP to CD/MP3 conversions. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve done any. I have an Audio-Technica turntable that has both line out and USB out, which makes the process a bit simpler. The turntable isn’t super high-end, but it’s plenty good for these types […]
As an antidote to our increasingly tribal culture, here’s an anti-tribal classic from The Lost Dogs to kick off the weekend…
Opening up my final package of Martin Marquis strings in the old-school cardboard box packaging that was standard up until a few years ago. I do thankfully have a fairly decent supply of the (now discontinued) Marquis strings in the newer envelope packaging, thanks to some bulk purchases over the past 2-3 years. The Marquis […]
