Hi. This is a thread to talk about anything on your mind.

I am Messianic, a husband for 40 years, a granddad to 6, and a musician. (love classic rock)

Is that a geode in your hands ... ?

I am, probably, best decribed as a born-again christian, a husband, a granddad, and music has been one of my passions for the majority of my life.

Besides singing in the church choir, I sang with our city's classical choir for a number of years. I like classic rock (Eagles and Chicago are favorites). I also like classical music (Beethoven, Brahms, etc.), pop, rhythm/blues, some opera, some country, some gospel, etc. I was a big follower of contemporary christian music (Amy Grant, Larnell Harris, Leon Patillo, Petra, etc.) at one time.

Never saw the Eagles but I saw Chicago twice before they lost Kath.

I was a horn band fan - Chicago, Ides of March, Lighthouse, Chase. One time the Beach Boys had a horn section with them.
I also like classical music (Beethoven, Brahms, etc.)
I lean more toward the Baroque period: Bach, Handel, Telemann, Vivaldi, etc.
I was a big follower of contemporary christian music (Amy Grant, Larnell Harris, Leon Patillo, Petra, etc.) at one time.
Me too. Larry Norman, Petra, The Way, Paul Clark, Phil Keaggy. I got to be on a first name basis with the last 2.

I like Vivaldi, Correlli, and some Bach. I also am a fan of some of the church chant of that era.

One of my favorite recordings is "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" by the Cambridge Singers ...

Nice. I am especially fond of the Viola daGamba. Bach wrote 3 wonderful Sonatas for it, the best IMO is #2 in D maj.


Carl Able, Telemann and Marin Marais also wrote for it.

Earlier, composers wrote for the entire family of Gambas:

Hi!

I know I have a bit about me in my signature but let's just ignore that for now.

I'm 23, I live in Texas. I recently joined a Baptist church after truly accepting Jesus a few months ago. I love to read, it's my favorite thing to do. I'm a food delivery driver. A fact about me, I read 100 books last year!

I love to listen to music. Harp and violin are probably my favorites to listen to.

I live in Texas.
Great! I attended music school in Waxahachi (south of Dallas - Ft Worth) and learned most of my theory and vocals there. A LOOOOONNNGGGG time ago.

Welcome to the Faith community!

Thank you! I grew up going to church but I never believed in Jesus. My mom bribed me to go to church. It wasn't a good church either, they didn't teach why I should believe in Jesus or how to read the Bible or what's in it either. I eventually became Mormon when I was 18 and left when I was 21. I knew about Jesus but never truly believed and trusted in Him until back in November of last year. I actually joined my local Baptist church this recent Sunday.

Hi Amy and welcome to the chit chat thread.

You can tell us a bit about that journey from "one religion and then another."


BTW, your profile says you are from Ohio. Some of the best rock guitarists came from Ohio.

Phil Keaggy (above), Joe Walsh, Glenn Schwartz, Rick Derringer, Neil Giraldo (Pat Benatar's husband)

Several more listed here.
