God has a purpose for each and every one of us.
Our calling is to seek his will.
Share with me on my journey to discover God in truth and reality. I dont pretend to have the answers, but Im sure having fun asking the questions. After all, if Gods wisdom is foolishness to man, then I think Id rather be a fool.
'Now I know in part, but then I will know just as I also am known.' 1 Cor 13:12

My background
I suppose it would be foolish of me not to include a little background information about myself, and where it all started. So here it is!
I was born in Stoke-on-Trent back in September 67. Just an ordinary kid from an ordinary background! I still am ordinary! At the age of 14, discovered Jesus as my saviour. I knew back then that God had given me this gift and that I was to use to serve Him.
I have been fortunate in my playing experience having played in a variety of ensembles from Jazz groups to Orchestras in various venues either as a session player or group member. It this variety that leads to my own style of composition, although I would have to say that my music is 90% inspiration 10% perspiration. God has been good to me in the gift of the songs He provides.
I love playing live and have worked as a pro bassist. Special moments include Killerton Festival in front of 13,000 playing bass for The American Drifters. I also led the worship before Paul Field and Roy Martin when they played at our school. That was pretty cool.
My earliest influence was Paul Simon. I loved his free voice and clever acoustic guitar playing. Since ten I have been influenced by many artistes. Noticeably, Paul Field and Michael Card for lyrics and Don Francisco for guitar playing.
I have recently upgraded my recording software to Logic Pro 9 on an iMac. For midi sequencing I sometimes use Sibelius. My prefered sound source is a clavinova piano with clever stuff on it. My guitar is a Taylor 214CE.
I hope you like my music and if you've got any constructive comments please feel free to post them on my message board. If I don't like them, I'll have to live with it.
Thanks for your time.
