Here is a list of those that can make me sit still and listen to the whole record at one time....Keith Green, Billy Joel, John Mayer, Bruce Horsby, DeGarmo & Key, Michael W. Smith, James Taylor, Shawn Colvin, Amy Grant, Sting, Elton John, Marvin Gaye, Bee Gees, Rod Stewart, Rush, Mindy Smith, Paper Route, Jude Cole, Richard Marx, Lionel Richie, Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, Styx, Journey, Stevie Wonder, Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, and Michael McDonald. Just to name a few....
All you need to know are these things........
1) I'm from Chicago, so I love the Bears, root for the Cubs, and no, I don't like the White Sox.....
2) I'm skilled at many things like listening, trying to stay positive, playing drums - bass - guitar, shooting 81 at golf once a year, keeping one's confidence, writing songs, and seeing the heart of someone - yeah, so don't test me, I'll see right thru you....
3) Saying what I think. Sometimes I wish I had that "filter" that would shut my mouth before I say what "pops" in my head. So if I am quiet, that's the only way I can to not say something....
4) My favorite verse is Proverbs 3:5-6. I'd tell you what it is, but then half the fun is watching someone trying to find Proverbs....it's my foundation of faith.
5) Not that you need to know, but I've had some songs recorded by artists like George Canyon, Bucky Covington, Rodney Atkins, Charla Corn, and Ty Williams.
6) My desire is to surround myself with great songs! I haven't lost my love of songs that move me - some people in this town can't listen to a song because they find the imperfections in them. The day I can't hear a song and just enjoy it for what it is, will be the day I find something else to do. I still listen to songs by writers like Dean Dillon, Kristofferson, Steele, Wiseman, Anthony Smith, Tia Sillers, Dave Berg, and so many others because I love it!
Thanks for coming by....
