Can it possibly be that I have not written a new blog since January and it is now August. My how time flies when you are secluded due to a worldwide pandemic. So many things have happened personally over the past 8 months. The radio show is going stronger than it ever has and the music, of superior quality, has been coming in slow but steady. With new projects from The Choir, TJ Stafford, Steve Lawson and new music from Dave Bainbridge and Glass Hammer on the horizon I am one happy camper.On the other side of the page though as a Christian I am aware that I do not have the option of giving up on church in general. That being said, although there are some few exceptions, I have for the most part given up on the idea  that the western church cares at all on creating great art and is content with sub-par art and poor propaganda. There was a time in the long ago when the great art and artists in the west were either mentored by or commision

ed by the church. Today we have either K-Love or films so poorly made that they wouldn't even make it on the Hallmark channel. "The Chosen" film series seems to be a pleasant exception though. In just about 2 months time "Rock N Soul Gospel" will be celebrating 40 years on the air at 88.1fm & WCWP.org with the debut of new music from Glass Hammer and Chad Marriott. Hopefully if all goes well I am shooting for a even 50 years of doing the show. Check us out every Friday night at 9 and Sunday night at 8, of course those are NY times at WCWP.org and locally at 88.1fm.
