I’ve always loved music. I think it’s safe to say I have always loved Christian music, too. In fact, I can recall clapping hands and singing along to Ferlin Husky, and “Somebody Touched Me” as my father played it on the Hi-Fi ( That’s what they were really called, back then, because music wasn’t even “stereo” yet) in our living room. Many many things changed over the years; Music changed, too, and a large portion of it was for the better. I moved on from my father’s “Gospel” records to Christian Rock Operas (Remember “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “GodSpell”?) and then to Contemporary Christian Music, trying to bring the word of God to the ears of the masses, and wandering dangerously close to the edge of slipping into “worldly” behavior in order to keep up those presentations. In College, I was involved in the College radio program where we rented airtime on a local public station in San Jose, Ca. I saw a good many names come through there that are now gone with the times, but I knew music would continue to be an important influence in the lives of God’s people, just as David played and sang and danced to the Lord so long ago. In the mid 1980’s I was working in a small Christian station near Tehachapi, CA, and it was there I became host of a weekly 8 hour program called "Gospel Music Roundup".

Happy Thanksgiving from Acoustic Grace! We just uploaded one of the first songs we ever recorded called Thanksgiving. We hadn't uploaded it before because it's a little rough but it represents what we are thankful for.
