Sweet Home Chicago

Hi everyone!!

I’m sitting in the lobby of our hotel in the Chicago area (we being Glenn and Kathy Garrett and Julie Fisher). Glenn and I are playing tonight for Sure Foundation Ministries at an older church here. I’ll be posting some pics when I get back to the hotel.

Love you guys!

Playing ‘catch up’

Ok…that should be the official title of this blog, since I always seem to be ‘playing catch up’ with keeping this up to date!

So…where were we? Oh yeah…wrapping up Camp Voyager in North Carolina. I don’t ever want to become jaded about the way God chooses to move, but once again we had many, many decisions by the kids to follow Christ for the first time, re-dedications, and even some who feel called to service! I’m convinced that young people are far more attuned to His call than us old-timers. I know it took several big ‘taps on the shoulder’ and a huge encounter before I realized it was Holy Spirit trying to get my attention about starting Project Onefifty. I can’t wait to hear more from FBC Spartanburg about the follow-up to this years’ Camp Voyager.

One last ‘camp’ story. As you know, this church rents a camp facility in Flat Rock that is a Jewish camp, Camp Blue Star. I’ve told you many stories about the folks we’ve met and shared with. I’m including a pic of the young Russian guitarist I got to play with the last night of camp, Liza…she was incredibly talented. Music is universal!

I digress! Thursday was a Jewish holiday called the ‘Fast of Tisha B’Av’, which is when the Jewish people mourn the destruction of the Temple. How do I know this? One of the full-time camp staffers is a lady named Allison. We’ve gotten to know her a bit the past 4 years, and she has always enjoyed our music. With all the conflict over in Lebannon, we asked her some questions. She actually has 2 relatives who are fighting with the Israeli army, and I assured her that we’d be praying for them (I trust that you’ll join me in this). Allison is pursuing a degree in theology, and she commented that this fighting is senseless since ‘we’re all praying to the same God’, meaning the Jews, Arabs, and Christians. I responded that she and I were definitely praying to the same God. Please pray for Allison as she learns about Jehovah and that one day she’ll come to know the Messiah.

This weekend, the P150 Band played a Discipleship event for the Church at Brook Hills. It was the first time I’ve gotten to play there this year. And while it was a bit strange to be back as a visitor, it was great seeing a few of our old friends there. Our singer, Tony Wachter, had a wedding to attend in Atlanta, so we enlisted our friend Stephen Hayman to sing with us, and Rick Sutton and Eugene Bates stepped up and sang a couple of tunes as well. These guys are incredibly talented! It was great fun!

I finished this trip by filling in on bass at ClearBranch UMC in Argo. It’s so cool to be able to be part of so many different fellowships and to help in their ministries. There’s never a dull moment…well, hanging out in hotel rooms is not very exciting…lol!

This coming weekend I’ll be in Chicago playing with Glenn Garrett, and the end of the month will find the P150 band playing an event for my new church home, the People’s Church! Yeah…a gig close to home!

I’ll close by asking you to keep us in your prayers. Durand Robinson (with the Greater Europe Mission, presently over in the States) and I are praying and brain-storming about some ways to raise support for some coming projects. It’s exciting to think of the doors that God has opened for us to partner in sharing the Good News with people all over the world.

There…I’m officially ‘caught up’…for the moment!

Love you, gang!

Camp Voyager 2006

Hello from beautiful (but incredibly hot) Camp Voyager! The mountains of North Carolina are still gorgeous, just in case you were worried.

It’s Day Two of camp and already we’ve had some incredible moments. We’ve been doing this camp for FBC Spartanburg for 4 years now, so the first day or so is filled with seeing old friends, and seeing how all these 4-6th grade students have grown!

That’s one of the joys of being in a ministry like Project Onefifty; it enables me the freedom to partner with fellow ministries like that of Kevin Williams and others. The cool thing is that we are all out there doing Kingdom work, since we’re all on the same team, right?

One of the other special things about this camp is the staff of Camp Blue Star, comprised mainly of international students from literally all over the world. Each night after the kids are in bed, the staff will come and hang out at the snack shack. Since they’ve been hearing us play each day and night, it gives us an instant ‘in’. We come and hang with them and talk about all kinds of things. It’s fun just to sit back and listen to people from Britain, Australia, Russia, Poland, Canada, etc. find commonality and community. Through the years we’ve met and shared with many of these folks. Imagine coming to North Carolina expecting one level of ministry and finding yourself on a mission field!

But that’s the mindset we need daily; we’re ‘on mission’ whether we’re in Tennessee or Ponte Tresa, Italy. I’m learning that the work we do in Project Onefifty is all about helping the local church, whatever the locality.

Ok, I’ll run for now. On my next post I’ll try to put up some pics of our friends here, old or new, young or old!

Later!!

How many times can I use "On the road again" as a title??

Hi everyone!

I’m literally heading out on the road again in a few hours. 3am comes early (I have to be at Dawson in Birmingham by 7am). I know…why didn’t I leave sooner? Work! Thankfully, the big LifeWay projects I’ve been working on are finally done…well, all my parts at least. Now my buddy Brian Green gets to put it all together. I’ve heard a few of the mixes so far and it’s sounding great. I’ll let you know as soon as these discs ‘hit the streets’.

Speaking of hitting the streets, I need to run. After Dawson in the morning, Barry Page and I will be jumping in the vehicle with Kevin Williams for our annual NC kid’s camp for FBC Spartanburg. This is our 4th (?) year running and we always look forward to leading these kids in worship.

There’s much more beyond this camp, but I’ll save for that the next update. Please continue to pray for me and the family. Work has been steady, but cash flow is another story. At least there is flow…!
Pray that Carol and the kids are safe while I travel, and also that my travels are safe and rewarding in a Kingdom way.

I’m praying for you as well. I miss you, guys!

God bless!

Up to date with updates!

OK…trying to lose the self-imposed ‘slacker’ title by finally getting up to date with the road journal. It has been a busy week (like they all haven’t been, thank goodness!

I’ve been telling you about a few of the projects I’ve been involved with, the most notable being with my friend of many decades (!) Glenn Garrett. He has just released a new CD project called “Mysteries and Dreams” (his site is listed in the Links area of this blog). I am so humbled to be on this record with guys like Glenn, Dave Cleveland, Tony Morra, Tom Lane, and Chester Thompson. This past Thursday evening we attended a CD release party where friends, family, and all the folks involved in the project got to listen to some selected cuts. It was a wonderful time…not your typical ‘industry event’. One of the more famous guests was Glenn’s long-time producer Brown Bannister. Carol and I got to chat with Brown and his wife for a bit and discovered many things in common (we’ve each been married 25 years, and we both have 5 kids!). Brown was very complimentary of my work on “M & D”…I’m praying that this seemingly random meeting will prove to be yet another God moment in our adventure here!

Of course, where would I be up here without my buddy Brian Green?? Not only has he gone out on a limb to give a virtual nobody like yours truly some work, but has proven to be a great friend. It’s amazing how God plants people in your life where you least expected! Our two big LifeWay projects are drawing to a close and we pray these are the first of many to come.

And while I’ve been working like mad during the days to get my parts done so Brian can mix, I’ve been leaving around 3pm each day but Thursday to go play a student camp up on Signal Mountain in the Chattanooga area with my friend Greg Lowery. Yep…to say that I’ve been a ‘road warrior’ this past week would NOT be an understatement…lol. Carol and others make fun of me because I have most of the exits on I65 memorized…now I have a new interstate to work on!

Next week is pretty light, but that’s good because I head back out on the road on Saturday for a session in Birmingham and to then hook up with the Kevin Williams Band for our annual North Carolina camp.

Make sure you check all the websites for the folks I’ve mentioned…I’ve added them to the Links section. Also in there is the link to the blog site for Randy Elrod, the former worship pastor at the People’s Church. Randy is one of the most visionary men I know, and he recently left the staff of TPC to devote his life to helping other artists fulfill their God-given call. I know you’ll find his site to a fascinating read, and also a great resource as well.

Yes!! I’m up to date…I’ll not be a slacker any more!

Well…until the next time I get behind!

Love!

Ok…I’ll admit it; these days, I have more in common with Marty McFly’s inept dad beyond sharing first names. I’ve been a ‘slacker’ with my updates…but I have great reasons…I’ve been too busy to write!

I’m not even sure where to begin. Since my last post back around July 4th, me and the good old Project Onefifty Boys had finished a weekend in Birmingham. From there I headed south with my buddy Kevin Williams to play a student camp in Wetumpka, AL (and had a fabulous time with the students from a Huntsville area church).

I left Wetumpka straight away for a session at Bates Brothers Recording in Hueytown on Friday, and rehearsals on Saturday for the worship services at ClearBranch UMC in Argo on Sunday.

I got back in time on Monday to prepare for my opening slot at a People’s Church event, where I opened for (and played bass with) my old friends Nori and Barbie Kelley, better known as “Wind”. These guys have traveled with world playing thier music, and have been a great source of help and inspiration for P150. Check out their site at www.windmusic.us.

All through this time I’ve been continuing to work on a couple of big LifeWay projects with my friend Brian Green (we are almost finished…woo hoo).

OK…that was about 14 days worth, and brings me up to date for this past week. I’m about to head out the door for a camp I’ve been doing this week in Chattanooga, but I promise to finish up tomorrow and tell you about hanging with Brown Bannister (producer for Amy Grant and lots of other folks) and Chester Thompson (yes, THAT Chester Thompson, the drummer).

Keep praying for us! Love you!

Whew! Thankfully yet another busy week (and then some!). Let’s see…where do I begin?

June ended in a bang! I thought that was reserved for July, but I’ll take this crazy schedule over the alternative ANY day! The last time I updated this blog, I was in Chattanooga at the Summit Camp with Kellee McCoy. Well, I finished there on Friday and drove to Birmingham to play a private party for my friends at O2 Ideas ad agency. The band included ad genius and friend John Zimmerman on guitar and vocals, Bob Norman on keys, and fellow P150’s Tony Wachter on vocals & percussion, and Jim Pollard on drums. We played a mix of rock from various decades on their 3rd floor deck. It was great fun!

From there, it was back home for a day or so, and I managed to be able to play bass at the People’s Church where we’ve been attending. Check it out on streaming video sometime (www.pclive.org).

Onto this past week. Monday and Tuesday found Jim Pollard and I doing a CD project at Bates Brothers Recording in Hueytown, AL (the wonderful facility where we did ‘Spheres of Influence’). Eugene Bates played bass, Charles Harnach played keys, and Eric Bates masterfully engineered the tracking session for a local artist.

Bear with me…we’re halfway there! Wednesday, fellow Tennessean Glenn Garrett and I played a mini-concert for a home Bible study in the Mountain Brook area of Birmingham. It was a powerful and Spirit-filled night. We made many new friends and I was able to share with these folks about P150.

Thursday I made a quick trip home to see the family and get some clean clothes (both very important items…lol). Friday I did a jingle with Tony Wachter and Steve Sample at AudioCzar (Tony’s project room).

Last night (Saturday) a modified line-up of my band played a cool venue called the Coffee House of Trussville (located, oddly enough, in Trussville, AL). This place is a bit on the small side, so we stripped back to a 5 piece unit (me on electric guitars, Eugene playing bass for a vacationing Barry Page, Rick Sutton on acoustic guitar, and groovemaster Steve Sample playing drums). Helping us sound great were Jesse Reagan, his son Jonathan, and Shawn Roberts snapped some pics (including the one in this blog post).

It was a special night for me in that, with great friends backing me up, and great friends in the audience urging us on, I had the honor of playing a Beatles song with my brother Melvin. This guy is to blame for me picking up guitar in the first place. It marked the first time we’ve played together in about 25 years…wow! He has an amazing story that I hope to share with you in an upcoming issue of our “Spheres” newsletter.


Today we helped Rick Sutton lead worship at Genesis, a new church plant here in Birmingham. The message that pastors Dale and Amy Bowers spoke on was ‘Jesus on Injustice’. We played some P150 standards (People Get Ready, When Love Comes to Town) along with a couple of worship songs. We played “I Will Trust In You” before the message, and finished the day with a rousing version of “Amazing Grace”. I always get chills when I hear Tony sing such great lyrics with his powerful voice. All in all, an ‘amazing’ end to a great week.

Next week (tomorrow) I’ll be on the road again with Kevin Williams as we play a week-long student camp down close to Montgomery, AL. Yes, that means I haven’t been home in a while…sigh. But I’ve been praying for work, so God is faithful! Oh yeah, during all this activity I’ve been working on a recording project for LifeWay with my buddy Brian Green. Never a dull moment!

Ahhh…life on the road! Keep praying and I’ll keep playing!

Ok, that was bad…I promise…no more puns!

God bless!

Chattanooga Summit

Hello from Lookout Mountain! What a great month…the beach a few weeks ago and now the mountains. Well, specifically the aforementioned Lookout Mountain. I’m here in the Chattanooga, TN area playing electric guitar with my friend Kellee McCoy (the worship leader at the Chapel Service at Dawson Baptist in Birmingham). The camp we’re playing up here at Covenant College is appropriately called “Summit”, which has been meeting each summer for 19 years now!

I’ve been up here since Sunday, but updates have been few and far between, as we have to drive down the mountain to the local Krystal and their free WiFi (and Krystal Chicks…but we have to pay for those!). But I do have some thoughts to share with you…as always, these are free!

Monday, I was listening to a local radio station and heard that June 19th is widely held as the offical day for the Emancipation of the slaves here in America. Slavery seems to be a recurring theme in what God is showing me these days through my travels. My trips to Ireland and the story of “Amazing Grace” (written by former slave trader John Newton, who later became one of the leaders in the Abolishionist movement in England) reminded me how important June 19th is to African-Americans. But thinking about all this reminded me of when I was in slavery…slavery to my sin. My ’emancipation day’ was March 9, 1975. That was the day when I surrendered my heart and life to Jesus Christ. While I struggle daily with the scars of my former servitude, God is still working in my life to make me into a devoted follower of Christ. Thank God for His endless mercy…I guess I could quote one of my own songs and say that “Love Never Fails”.

We’ve been leading these students each morning and evening, and we’ve experienced some incredible times of worship. One of the key things I’ve learned is from a statement made by our guest speaker, John Hickman. He remarked how God has been meeting us in a ‘mountain-top experience’, but we never seem to ask why this happens in this environment. He said it’s because we have been ‘fasting from the world, and feasting on the Word’. Wow…what truth! God has been leading our home group back in Spring Hill in this same manner, so it’s no coincidence that He’s continuing this theme in my life this week.

The more I travel and the more people I meet, I have found a great commonality in how God is working and doing. How exciting to be a part of such a work. Stay open to what He wants to do in your life and ‘spheres of influence’.

Love you guys! Keep praying for us!

On the road…again!

Sorry for the delay in this update, but it’s been crazy (in a good way). The last time you heard from me, I was in Florida at the student retreat for my friends at ClearBranch UMC (Argo, AL). The camp went well, but there was a frightening accident on Tuesday night. One of their 8th grade students, a beautiful young lady named Faith, was struck by a car while she was crossing the road to the beach. It looked really bad at the time, but thankfully God stepped in! While Faith has some extensive surgery on her leg (the main point of impact), thankfully she HAS a road to recovery.

The rest of the camp went well, and it was wonderful working with all the gang from ClearBranch. I’m hoping that I can be part of their retreat for years to come.

After the camp, I had a rare occurance…some time at home (got to do chores, mow the lawn, etc). I did get to play guitar down at the new satellite campus for the People’s Church, down at the Spring Hill high school. Chad Jarnagin led worship and we had an incredible time. God is truly doing a great work down in our neck of the woods (and I’m glad to be a small part of it).

Ok, my next update will fill you in on the camp I’m doing THIS week. Later, kids!

Creature from the Black Laguna…

Hello from the beach!

Do you hate those kinds of greetings as much as I do? Even though summer is in full swing, most of us still go to work everyday, and to hear from someone at a beach or on an exotic trip can be a bummer. So, please forgive me for such an annoying intro…lol.

It’s Tuesday and my great friend and long-time sound man Jesse Reagan and I are sitting outside the retreat center office, taking advantage of the wireless internet access. We’ve been here since late Sunday night, and the student camp with the folks from ClearBranch UMC in Argo, Alabama is going well.

Monday was taken up with the load-in and set up of all the gear, with a band rehearsal right before dinner. We then we all packed into Classroom #1 (all 150 of us! Yikes!) for a time of worship and teaching. I’m playing with some young guns from the music ministry at ClearBranch, along with rock veteran Steven ‘Hamie” Hayman. Yes, Hamie is the ‘Scottish dude’ who played in a band with Damon Johnson a few years back. Hamie is a great singer and is fun to work with. We’re having some great times of woship (with some bluesy rock jams thrown in for fun). The guys in the band are doing great too; Jordan Harnach (son of my friend and mentor Charles Harnach) is covering bass, and another Jordan (I don’t know his last name) is playing drums, and Stevie Ray Vaughn worshipper (lol) Roddy Barrett is playing guitar. It’s a jammin’ bunch for sure. Our friend Stephanie Sparks is adding some great BGVs, too.

We actually have the rest of the day off, so we plan on attempting to pigment our albino-esque skin via exposure to the sun’s rays…lol (without doing a great lobster impression).

Some great things are happening back home, too. Our small group hosted our first ‘outreach’ this past Sunday, a block party at the home of P150 drummer Jim and Pam Pollard. They gave away over 100 hot dogs and many folks from their nieghborhood signed the guest book. But the best story came today via Pam. One of her neighbors knocked on her door yestersday and shared how she wanted to come over Sunday, but her husband was out of town. She then began to share with Pam about a recent family loss and how deeply it has affected her. Pam was able to bring some Spirit-led comfort, all because of a block party.

Wow! Talk about a mission field! How many of us know what’s happening in the lives of the people who live all around us? I know that Carol and I need work in that area. We do have those ‘yard chats’ while outside cutting grass (pulling weeds, more like it), but I know God would have us do more. I am encouraged that we are part of a Faith Family (the People’s Church) with vision to empower groups like the people that make up our home group to find ways to reach out into the community, without waiting for the church to host an event. We plan on making this a regular happening this summer, with a block party held at each of our respective neighborhoods. Please pray that we can be salt, light, and water to the people around us.

Heck…we may even play some music…what a novel idea!

More from the retreat in a day or so. Keep praying for us, especially as I travel. While these camps and trips are helping to pay the bills, we most definitely need your support financially for the various P150 projects we have in the works, as well as helping to feed the family.

God bless!
