Missing Music
I miss playing. I lead worship at CCM on the Sundays that I'm not sick or out of town--so it's not like I don't get to flex my musical muscles every now and again. What I really miss is playing with a group of well tuned friends who simply love the music. I have played in bands that wanted to simply "make it" and realized quickly that attitude is not me. I just love music. Period.
I have resurrected a couple of projects related to my musical creative endeavors and I'm going to attempt to finish them up so that I can share them with everyone. One is an untitled song that I have written some fun delay parts to, and another is to finish carpeting my pedal-board so I can actually use it.
The guys down in the singles ministry at FBA said they want to use me occasionally on electric guitar. I'll need a completed board to be able to do that. In any event, I'm excited some of my harem of beautiful guitars may see the light of stage during a performance sometime soon. Excuse me, I'd better start working on my windmill. No time for writing.

People who are in a band just to “make it” end up like N’Sync and Backstreet Boys. But people who make music for music’s sake are the James Taylors and the Beethovens. The difference is passion. You, my friend, have that passion. And whether it makes you famous or whether you end up piddling in coffee shops or leading church groups for the rest of your life probably won’t matter to you, because you are doing what you love, and there is a satisfaction in that. And how many famous people can claim satisfaction?
