Bless the Lord, O My Soul Bless the Lord, O My Soul
We're like grass. We disappear, but the Lord's love goes on without end. Psalm 103 put to music.
One Heart Is Breaking One Heart Is Breaking
I knew it was time to get out of the marriage counseling business when I started writing country songs about it!

In my other life I'm a futures speculator. Since there is plenty of downtime in the business, I sing, play, and write, so I don't obsess about the markets.
My music tends to be pensive. That's no doubt influenced by the fact that my instrument of choice is a classic acoustic guitar.Band/artist history
I've been playing since I was a kid and writing since I was in High School. I've played here and there, but with no regularity, since college.
It was reading Sara Teasdale's poems back in the early 90s that got me going as a serious songwriter. The poems were very lyrical and demanded some accompanying tunes. I had been writing poetry for a few years, so once I figured out I could write tunes, I started writing songs also.Your musical influences
Larry Norman and his musical offspring (Randy Stonehill, Terry Scott Taylor, etc), Willie Nelson, Gary Chapman (huge). There's probably even a bit of Gordon Lightfoot. ('cause I grew up listening to Canadian radio -- CHAB: "The Big 8")
I loved April Wine and BTO, but the guitar riffs didn't translate to my classic guitar very well.What equipment do you use?
The classic guitar is an Aria 791. The acoustic is an Ibanez Performance with a Fishman pickup.
The "recording studio" is an AudioTechnica ATR40 mic and an AT ATM150 mixer attached to my computer. For mixing I use Accoustica MP3 Audo Mixer and for recording I use Goldwave. (Both are shareware. How cheap is that!) I include other equipment and instruments when I can get my hands on it.Anything else?

You better be ready is such a cool song. I love it. It is just so happy sounding. I can't help but smile when i hear it.
JoJ-
Listened to your version of "Bless the Lord" and wondered why so many great hymns aren't re-done like this. They are so powerful and if people really knew the context in which they were written, they would never sing them the same way again (i.e: "It Is Well With My Soul") - Very nice job on the song. Very warm, heartfelt vocals. Thanks for sharing it- I've posted one from Psalms I'd like your take on as well-
thx,
Chris
