    The Beatles

    It's been quite a while since I've listened. I was hugely into Sgt. Pepper as a child. All of their albums are solid, but Rubber Soul and later are the best. These are the kind of albums that are best enjoyed in their entirety.

    Christian Industrial

    I would highly doubt they are Christian. The artists could be personally, but I wouldn't think that APB's album 'Soli Deo Gloria' would be a literal act of praise & worship IMHO. But, that's not to say don't listen to it, that's totally up to you. My biggest influences as a musician all have...

    Any Al Di Meola Fans?

    I'm sure if you're checking out Al Di Meola.. I'd imagine you've checked into Pat Metheny, as well?

    Creflo Dollar needs a new plane for $65,000,000

    Wouldn't the better idea be to fly in economy seating so you can talk with and pray over your fellow passengers? Saving one life via that method is certainly worth more 65 million.

    That's ironic. How would it have been on painkillers?

    the worst movie/s you ever saw

    Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.. The first was so good, and so freakin' funny..and they totally ruined it. Another film where are the good parts are in the movie trailer. Generally, this is a recurring theme with most kids/family sequels. Robots was pretty terrible.. saw that on an...

    Artists who "rub you the wrong way"

    I guess it goes without saying for a great majority of the pop stars listed previously. Congratulations to them for making a career out of music; however, I do get annoyed at all the arrogance - although I can't really pinpoint specific instances other than Bieber & Kanye.. I don't keep up with...

    can someone explain new music to me?!

    I had the privilege of getting my degree in music theory & composition at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. My focus was actually in electronic music ^_^ So, the above music is something I've not only studied, but at one point composed, as well. This sort of music was one of the last...

    Do you read?

    I was hugely into non-fiction. I read all of kinds of how-to's, biographies, commentaries - but I'm on the cusp of getting into non-fiction.. I bought C.S. Lewis's 'Out of the Silent Planet' years ago - would read a little bit on vacation..but no more - and it's generally a short book. I...

    what's a good song to sing in church?

    If you're looking for something that easy to lead a congregation in, I'd say 'Set a Fire' from United Pursuit. But, if this is for a specific solo or special music, I'd recommend Harvest's "Curtains" or Misty Edwards "I Will Waste My Life."

    Any Al Di Meola Fans?

    I totally forgot that he was on Romantic Warrior - killer album. I only mention this because it no one has yet, but he is on a latin pop album with a Russian.. Leonid Agutin.. totally random and cool...in a kitchy kind of way... More commonly.. Mediterranean Sundance w/ Al Di Meola...

    Favorite Worship Songs

    I'm always an advocate for Misty Edwards, so my inclinations are to say "Companion" and "Baptize My Heart" Also, Daniel Bashta - "Pursuit" This could also change on any given day depending on the presence of the Holy Spirit
