I'm just a normal bloke who loves making music and videos. I hope you enjoy them. I am a very blessed man to be able to make art and music as a career. God gave me the desires of my heart. There's not much money in it, but I treasure every minute of it. To me it's also meditaion and prayer to the Father the Son and the Holy spirit, Amen. I find that extremely peaceful. Faith, curiosity and mystery make life interesting, exciting and worth living. Since when did everything have to make sense and be "rational"? What a bring-down. I can't make sense of my videos. I just have fun and faith and hope it brings joy to others. There is nothing to explain, no equations or proofs in art. I enjoy the open ended nature of art where there is no feeble human logic or rules, bondage, hang-ups, or anger, just pure, innocent freedom, wisdom and grace. I feel God's presence there.
"To me, God likes a southern accent and he tolerates country music and quite a bit of guitar." Johnny Cash

I love playing rock and roll and country at very high volume. I was an audio engineer on and off for twenty years when I was not performing. Sometimes both. I love music, guitars, amps, audio gear and gadgets. Those are me hobbies I guess. I also love studying Pedal-Steel Guitar, Physics, Music Theory, Mathematics and The Holy Bible. My degree from college was Physics and Audio Engineering. I love using my technical knowledge to make art, just to enjoy it. I don't think all art has to make a statement. That's a rule. There are no rules in art. I like the audience to decide how deep they want to go. I'm a romantic and enjoy swimming deep.

I mention playing loud because, I'm serious, Yes, I play VERY loud, make a lot of NOISE and like the feeling of air molecules hammering me. Forget earplugs. Life's too short.

Psalm 98:4
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a LOUD NOISE, and rejoice, and sing praise.

Also, I have Multiple Sclerosis which makes me dizzy and loose control of my movements. I'm NOT drunk. I feel it's important for you youngsters to know that. I quit that a while back, thank the Lord. I just have MS. You just ride the wave. You have to. My physical body is just a vessel I will shed one day anyway. That's all it is. So I just bounce around in the suit. Sounds crazy, I know. But hey ya does da best ya can, ya know?

Faithouse

In the words of one of my God seeking heroes, "Volume is a fantastic thing - power and volume...If you don't like my work, I can't help you." Pete Townshend

"The Whiskey ain't workin' anymore." Marty Stuart

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." Jesus

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things... And the God of peace will be with you." Paul

In the words of Emmylou Harris,

"Come in as you tread life's journey
Take Jesus as your daily guide
Though you may feel pure and safely
Without Him walking by your side
But when you come to make the crossing
At the ending of your pilgrim's way
If you ever will meet our Savior
You'll surely meet Him on that day"

Sounds Like: I strive to be somewhere between Buck Owens, the Byrds, the Beatles and the Who if there is such a wonderful place. Have I gotten there? No, I only hear hints of my heroes. Everybody needs a goal to shoot for no matter what you do. As soon as you think you've mastered it, it's time to stop. The trip is as interesting as the destination. Plus, I'm just havin' fun.

Playlists
I LOVE and play pedal steel guitar. It is one of the most overlooked, fascinating and beautiful instruments in history. It is sometimes mistakenly called a lap steel, steel or slide guitar. You know the sound but have probably never looked closely at them. They are mostly associated with country music - good, honky-tonk country music. But it is on everything from country, to rock, to jazz, hymns and beyond. This playlist is a collection of some of my music on steel, other enthusiasts and my favorites that I aspire to. It is a sound, a voice that hits my soul and hopefully yours as well. Enjoy. PLAY ALL!!
If you have addictions, hang ups, etc. Face them. They do not own you as you may have come to believe. I had a horrible battle with alcohol and drugs, but now I'm free in Christ. These videos encourage me to get further and further away from the lie. While my battle was drugs and alcohol, the videos I find cover many addictions that keep us in bondage, from drugs, food, pornography - you name it. Maybe you are struggling now. It's never too late to change. God is calling you to freedom. I love and feel for all you who struggle daily. It's my hope and prayer that you'll seek help and be set free. Peace be with you. You're not alone. There are many of us who have made it through. Hit "PLAY ALL" and get started towards recovery.
