I think some of my friends believe that my problem is with the form of the music. No, it is with the CONTENT or lack thereof. Every song doesn't have to be a theological treatise but surely it can be more than "Jesus is my BFFL". Exhibit A, your honor: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-NOZU2iPA8" rel="nofollow">Sonseed</a> We agree. Thanks for your comments, graceshaker.

Oh. it is not all you. And then you get the all about me, song leader. I know, it ain't easy!

My Christian musical resume starts with me leading singing in a Church of Christ, no ppiano or organ, all old hymns. Last night I was front man in a band playing CCM at a coffee house. Drums, Guitars, keyboard, bass, and electric fiddle. When I write music it doesn't sound like Fanny Crosby. I still struggle at times, but I will do anything for the cause of Christ. Just before i read this I said to my wife how odd it is that I only want to preach the word, but i am singing on stage at 53. what a weird life. I have come a long way with CCM.
