Band Members:
These are tunes I have written. However, here is a list of members and/or contributors. Scott Weltner (drums), Ty Weatherly (Bass), Ben Gratt (guitars), Rob Shrock (producer, keyboards), Kimberly Sanford (keeping me inspired and pushing me onward).
The song on the above video is called "Fret Job". I wrote it but never had a chance to play it until I started playing with my ex-bandmates in a group called Ritual back in the early 90's. It's not part of this project but oh well. It's something to put here. The quality is not so good but hey it was my wife holding a video camera behind a bunch of people and dubbed from a VHS tape. :^)
Photos I snapped of extremely rare items at the 2007 Dallas Guitar Festival
Heroes: My wife Kimberly. Who could form a more perfect woman who has endured so much, who has overcome such overwhelming obstacles, whose desire to serve others needs is endlessly preceding her own. Who could create such a yielding character overflowing with powerful gifts of the heart? Only a God who knew me. For you are the most visible evidence of Gods love to me because he has allowed me to be a part of you. You inspire me with your gentleness, your vulnerable attentive spirit, and your thousand different smiles that all have a meaning that only I can discover. Who could craft such a person that has received so little and yet given so much, who encourages me when I’m fragile, who forgives me when I’m wrong, who believes in me when I don’t, who humbles me when I boast, only a God who answered my prayer the day I asked for you before I ever knew you. Who could see into my minds eye so well; drawing me to my perfect vision of beauty so bright it’s as if heaven were shining in my heart. I love you sweetheart.
