Most of my songs are written in a melodic/acoustic style of Folk Rock. All are written to glorify God - you know, ... the One who made me and you?
If you stop to listen for a while, my hope is that you'll leave with something a little out of the ordinary to think about.
If you do go with a fresh perspective on Christianity and who God really is, then my job is done!
Bless you much for stopping by ...Band/artist history

Jon,
Thanks for the visit
Keep rocking for the Lord - looking forward to more of your converted music as you get all upgraded on the recording softwareJohn,
This is David from the CSO; lovin' your stuff, brother! I added you to ten of my soundclick stations; just click on stations playing to see which stations I added you to. I'll add you to more in the future.
Great songwriting, Great guitar work, you are to harsh on yourself as far as your vocals are concerned; I found them ear-catching, you have a unique style which sounds really good and complements your musical style and style of playing.
God bless,
your brother in Christ
davidI enjoy your guitar work. Chasing the Wind is a very artsy piece. I can tell a lot of work went into it. I liked the sound effects and the ending was particularly enjoyable. It definitely elicits a mood of melancholy that is fitting for the lyrics. I also especially liked the introductory guitar work on More Than A Carpenter’s Son…very middle-eastern. In addition, the chord progression in Daniel’s Song of Praise is ear-catching and not common. Well done!All comments (5)
