I am here for Friends

About Me

First, let me say that my best friend is Jesus - He rocks! The Lord has truly blessed me with a great family, good friends, and the gift of music. These days I play guitar and record stuff for my own, friends', and family's enjoyment. I also play guitar and bass and sing (well I'm usually at least in tune, lol) in the Worship Team at my church (Palisades Baptist). Hopefully I'm using my music for good purpose now - to sing His praises for all to hear. I live, work, and play in Hawaii. I can't imagine living anywhere else in the world. Life is good thanks to God! Here's a video of our Worship Team at a recent performance:

My Interests

I play guitar and record stuff at home on a Boss BR-1180CD Workstation. I recently recorded this cover of Mark Byrd and Steve Hindalong's "God of Wonders". My wife plays the keys on this. Be Blessed my friends!

I'd like to meet:

Someday, my friend and savior, Jesus. It'd be nice to meet Jimi too. I hope he's up there jamming with Miles and Bird.(Thanks to Sister Angela for the cool code!)

Watta Week!

Normally, when we have a holiday (Labor Day) on a Monday, the rest of the work week goes by quickly right?  Well this week seemed to just drag on and on...  For me it was probably due to: 1....

Haha - the old switcharoo blog!

Well, not really...  I just thought it was time to change my tune so to speak.  So I'm archiving "I Give You my Heart" and posting "God of Wonders" in my profile.    ...
