Description
When I was 17 years old and a senior in high school, I played wind instruments in our Concert Band and the upright bass in our Dance Band. Two of us in the Dance Band wanted to get deeper into music and thought we would try our hand in writing music for the band. Our instructor gave us permission and each of us wrote a small piece. I worked very hard, stayed up almost all night trying to make it perfect, and turned it in to my instructor at the appropriate time. When the band didn't play the piece right away, I asked the instructor about it. His response was, "I'm not going to let them play that trash!"
Words have tremendous power! Although I continued with music, for many years following that high school experience, there was always the thought in the back of my mind that said, "This is not good enough." Had I listened to my music instructor, I would have given up. But there were others around me (especially my family) who encouraged me and they let me know "you've got everything it takes to make it." I learned that although some people will not recognize your potential, there are always those who will.
My desire is that this CD will uplift and encourage everyone who hears it. I believe "old fashioned" principles still work today. You too have everything it takes to make it, and it's amazing what you can do with the Lord on your side.
