Chilled last night at the Frederick Coffee Co. with one of my good friends and musical cohorts, Mr. J Brown. Jason has just recently relocated back to Maryland and is looking for gigs and worship ventures. He has an album dropping soon, so get your kicks in and book him if you can. One of the nicest guys I have had the pleasure of working with. Visit his myspace site at myspace.com/jasonthebrown.
Jason, look forward to many more evenings of music and hot beverages with you bro. It’s great having you back in Fred-town.

This past weekend I was watching U2’s Rattle and Hum movie on Music HD. First of all, let me just say for the record that I have severely underated U2 and the passion they have. They are hands down, the best rock band ever.
There was this one segment with Bono and the King of Blues, B.B. King that was highlighted. They were rehearsing “When Love Comes To Town”, a collaboration between B.B. and U2. B.B. casually asked Bono if someone could play the chords to which Bono replied that The Edge could take care of that. Then B.B. uttered…yeah “I’m horrible at chords”.
I was stunned and then inspired.
If God has a call on your life, the road there may not be the one that everyone else is traveling and the steps you take will not necessarily be the steps others take. You don’t have to be like someone else and do what they do. Let your creativeness flow and let God show you the way to be what only you can be. Just think, you may be a musical genius without ever learning how to play what every other musician considers paramount.

Thanks to everyone for supporting us. Have a wonderful Christmas and awesome new year.
Rick Pino is coming to Frederick, MD in February. Christine and I are part of a team that want to see a spiritual shift and denominational and religious strongholds broken in this area. We want breakthrough. We want something new….something real.
Visit breakthesurface.com frequently this next month as we are finalizing the conference details. You have to come if you are at least 5 hours away. (lol)
Go check his stuff out at rickpino.com or at his myspace at myspace.com/rickpinoband. It’s awesome. “I Can Hear the Sound” should be an initial listen.
I think it is best described as prophetic worship on steroids.
We recorded a new song this weekend called “Run Away”.

I first heard Josh Lindsey’s full version of “My Glorious One” on the Worship Leader Podcast a few months ago. Needless to say, I was impressed with the passion I felt coming out in his voice and when he hit the climax of the song, there was some unique vocal technique that really made him stand out, such as one segment that consisted of him bending his pitch upward a few notes on a sustained part. Pretty risky, but he pulled it off. (Incidentally, the whole song, including the part I am talking about, is not on his myspace so you will just have to take my word for it.)
I don’t have his album yet, but I listened to a few of his tracks on his myspace site. His music appears to be an eclectic blend of folk, rock, and worship. “New Man” kind of takes me back to my days at the beach of NC with a 4 Non Blondes, “What’s going on” feel. Definately cool. “Spinning Around” has a harder rock feel to it and “Bigger” and “Glorious One” will take you away in worship. Get the album “Take Your Places” and support Josh.
