a year of songs: number 26
- Thursday, June 25th: When invited to help celebrate the
125th Anniversary of Immanuel Lutheran Church near Canova, SD, we thought
a song for the occasion would be nice. They described the church and its
beginnings, plus other stories, too many to include. I found the bell and
the altar coming back to me, so that's where I began. I offered it to the
assembled last Sunday morning. The bell rang and we all sang. Here's Number
26: "Immanuel"

the 52 song project
Half way to 52. The next two songs will be from locations in the western US. I'll record them onto a little device and you may hear critters in the background.
THANKFUL: Just to be clear, I would've quit this long ago if I didn't believe that people listen each week and care about my effort and my song. I'm believing in silent participants that don't comment but are with me. I'm really thankful for the commentary though. Candy has been really patient with this as well. I'm thankful for her.
I'm experiencing a real clear-headedness about writing songs.
I think I can
do this.
A little celebration for some unrelated good news: the 
documentary "Paving
the Way" for which I composed most of the music, won
a "Telly
Award" for its soundtrack. Brandon
Wade, the filmmaker/author, said I can
consider this award mine. The DVD is available on Netflix and can be purchased
at Best Buy. The music is on iTunes
