The Fretful Porcupine is a duo comprised of Kevin Gosa and Jake Armerding some improvisational music at its best

For a little over 33 years I have been hosting a radio program on 88.1fm & WCWP.org called "Rock N Soul Gospel". The show started off as, for lack of a better term, your typical Christian rock radio show. Over the years though I have mostly lost interest in what most people would consider "CCM", I find it for the most part boring and lacking in creativity. I guess you could say that I don't believe in Christian music. I am on the other hand a major fan of art, whether that be music, literature, poetry, film or dance created by artists who hold to a traditional Christian worldview. I find it to be some of the most inventive and stimulating art being created today. Since I am involved in the radio end of the spectrum most of the comments although not all will be focused on music. I will share some somewhat cynical thoughts on the subject of music and art created by folks who claim to be in a unique relationship with the Master Creator. I will share videos by some of the artists who I have a great deal of respect for as well as recommendations for books, films and tunes that have spiked my attention. Just remember that these are the thoughts and ramblings of an over 65 years old media geek. All of that being said, other than the church, I firmly believe that art in its various forms is one of the primary ways to understand the truth and beauty of God and His creation. Check out this video by the band Iona for an example of great art in the form of music.
