| MUSIC STYLE |
| My music style is one of a conservative person. I normally do not use tape accompanment tapes when I sing. I have an accompanist that has played for me the last 23 years. I do have accompanment tapes and do use them when I dan't have the availability of a piano. If using tapes I am careful not to use any thing that would not be appropiate. If a pastor requests that I do not use them, then I don't.I believe that the music that I do needs to be done to the glory of God and not to myself. I believe that all we do needs to be done to the glory of God. I try to keep all my music "vertical". What I mean by that is to keep everything going up to God. I will work with the pastor on whatever style of program that he wants. As I do my concerts they are always an evangelistic view. I sing about God, Jesus and salvation. At the end of my programs I like to give an invitation as to allow people to have an opertunity to make a public show that they are giving their life to God. Yes there will be some churches that I will not sing at. This would involve churches that are not of like faith with my doctrinal statement. That can be viewed on my statement of faith page. I do not believe in the "Contemporay Christian Music Movement" and do not use that style of music in any of my programs. Althogh I don't believe that all "Contemporay music" is bad, I believe that we have to becareful of what music we listen to and performe. I believe we need to keep ourselves seperate from the world. Many churchs today believe that they have to use this kind of music to "bring them in". I do not! And I will not!! We are in this world, not of this world. BACK |
