Carry My Burden Carry My Burden
Carry My Burden is an original Christian song with piano, bass, drums and vocal with multiple chord structure with syncopated rhythm.
Solo composer and artist. Been playing gigs a long time. I think I played in Jamestown for the "Pilgrims". I love music and especially like creating it. If other folks like it . . . that's just icing on the cake.Band/artist history
The history of my music involvement spans decades and would be boring to just about everybody but me.Have you performed in front of an audience?I play live. Around Atlanta and surrounding states. Opened for some "stars".

"Carry My Burden" is a collection of original Southern Gospel songs. These songs are intended to focus on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As John the Baptist said, "He must increase and I must decrease". The song "Praise God", is taken almost verbatim from Psalm 67 (NIV) . . . so the lyrics are divine. The song, "It Might Be Time For You", is comprised exclusively of two notes throughout the song and I like to refer to it as the "Two Note" Gospel.
As a Pastor there were times when our Music Minister was absent and I played piano for the congregation to sing our traditional hymns. I heard several times that my accompaniment had a "soulful syncopation" not usually associated with a church worship service. Yes, all those years playing in the bands honed a style that is my own and sometimes out of place in the normal church service environment. However, a few folks have enjoyed it and I hope that you like it as well.
Staring at a keyboard with expectations of deriving an album from it, without assistance from anyone, would have been a lonely and a daunting experience without the Lord. One song title exclaims, "My Lord Is Here With Me" . . . I hope it applies to you as well.Contact
