Merry Christmas...

"For unto is a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

I wish each of you a very Merry Christmas! May the peace and love of Jesus Christ fill your hearts and spill out of your life to others. I pray that the new year you face will be the best year of your life.

My Obsession...


I will admit it....I am obsessed with musical instruments. And you see in the picture my latest obsession...it is a 1970's Fender Rhodes 88-key suitcase piano. This will be the fifth Fender Rhodes I have owned in my lifetime. I bought my first one in 1975 when I started playing in a band. I have always loved the sound, and even though I have the same sounds in my laptop there is nothing like the real thing.
I guess the older I get, the more nostalgic I become. You know I love technology, but sometimes I long for life to be like it was when I was younger...more simple, with less things battling for my time. That is why music is so appealing...I can sit down at this piano and lose myself in old songs or compose new ones and the world seems to fade.
I guess I should stop...I am starting to sound like an old guy.....
