Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Every once in a while a song comes along that not only speaks to the heart, it changes the heart. This is one of them.
God Knew Your Name has touched the lives and hearts of thousands of people.
It has been used by pro-life groups, it has been played at weddings and funerals.
If you have ever lost a loved one, this song can bring peace when words cannot. If you know anyone, including yourself, who has ever had a miscarriage or still-birth, listen to this song.
It is my hope that this site and this song will bring peace to the hearts of all those who hear it.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I do concerts where ever and when ever the opportunity arises. I genrally prefer to work within 300 miles of St. Louis, MO. Performing is living.
Your musical influences
Having been raised in the 50s and 60s, I would have to say that the biggest influnces on my style of song writing is both folk music and ballads. If the lyrics don't touch the heart, then music is nothing more than noise.
