Grove Studios
Recording went really well today. I don't think you guys have ANY idea what you're in for. I am surrounded by the most incredible artists. I don't even understand it! My wife freaked out when she heard everything together...
I tip my hat to Wes Leyshon... Memphis' BEST producer
Ryan Peel (http://www.ryanpeelmusic.com) and Will Lowrimore (http://www.martinmusicguitar.com) ... Memphis' Best rhythm section
And Mark Trussell... the best musician to ever LEAVE Memphis (I'm still working on getting him back)
Here are some pictures my friend Allie Smith, wife to the amazing Memphis singer/songwriter Josh smith (http://joshuaandrewsmith.blogspot.com), was sweet enough to take of us in the Grove Studio in Memphis, TN.
As always, thanks for your support. Stay tuned! Lots to come very soon.

Really Cool experience
Hey guys,
I also got the privilege of playing electric guitar with Atlanta's Carlos Whitaker
It turns out that carlos was an Internet sensation as the father who told his son that he wasn't a "Single Lady" :
As always...please continue to donate. We are very close to having the entire funds raised!
Peace

Just wanted to show you some pictures of a really cool performance I was lucky enough to be a part of at the historic Orpheum in Memphis. This was on Easter, hence the dapper way I am dressed. Ha.

Sorry it has been a while... Here is a sample of the music as an apology
Hey Guys!
Stuff is still coming along. Sorry that it has been a while since I posted. To say I am sorry, I attached a demo recording of one of the songs that will probably be on the album. The link is below! Give me some feedback! Is it good enough to be put on the album? Disclaimer: this is easily the most "poppy" song on the album... and this is NOT the final product...
I have been talking with both the producer of the album (Wes) as well as some people in Nashville lately. We are talking through the current songs and trying to decide how we can simplify them so that anyone could pick up the album and enjoy it, without reducing the quality. This is always a tricky and frustrating process in that the song-writer (Me in this case) often has to compromise and chop up songs that he has become attached to...
We are scheduled to be back in the studio in the next couple of weeks. I'll keep you posted!
As always... please donate and tell your friends!
Thanks for your support!

A message from Tom Davis (head of Children's Hope Chest)
80 Reported Kids Raped in Swaziland Since January
This just kills me. This means there are a lot more cases unreported. Please, please pray with us and send this to your friends to pray too. There's still so much work to do in Swaziland. This comes from our Country Director's blog - Jumbo and Kriek.
We have seen great progress in Ministry here in Swaziland, but when you read articles like this in the Observer this morning you know we still have ways to go to protect the children of Swaziland from all the predators roaming around. We are moving into the Marula season and alcohol abuse will be much higher the next 2 months.
Please join with us in a special prayer today for the protection and healing of the most precious in the eyes of our Father. Here is the article in the Swazi Observer of March 8, 2010
"ABOUT 80 children have been raped in Swaziland in the last two months, police have said. Statistics released by late last week indicate that from January to the end of February, at least 121 rape incidents were reported in the country, and more than two-thirds of these involved children.
Such alarming figures have fuelled the call for urgent passing of the Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Bill into law.
Police Director of Domestic Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Senior Superintendent Leckinah Magagula has raised an alarm, especially to women and children - who are major targets of abuse. Senior Superintendent Magagula encouraged parents to keep a ‘hawk-eye' on their children, particularly during the current marula season. The seasonal marula brew and alcohol abuse had been cited as the leading cause for most rape cases in the country. Magagula said a number of children were raped on the way home after school and some at their respective homes.
Police have warned that most children were raped by people well known to them. The statistics show that they are in danger from their siblings, parents, uncles, neighbors and helpers. The unprecedented increase in rape cases has fuelled police to call upon parliament to urgently pass the Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Bill to Law. Senior Superintendent Magagula observed that the country was using outdated laws with light penalties against the perpetrators. She prayed that parliament would apply the same urgency it show when passing the Human Trafficking Law. The country is stuck with pre-colonial laws such as the Crimes Act of 1889 and the Girls and Women's Protection Act of 1920. In essence, such laws cripple the efficiency of the judicial system and do not effectively address the evolving trends of abuse. "It is high time perpetrators are given harsher sentences," she said.
The Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Bill have been tabled in both Houses of Parliament and this legislation seeks to address some major gaps which appear in the current laws dealing with sexual offences and domestic violence. For instance, it has broadened the definition of rape to cover not only unlawful sexual intercourse with another but also unlawful sexual acts committed under certain circumstances, including any coercive manner, under false pretence or by fraudulent means, under duress, fear of violence or psychological oppression."

Scratch Tracks... studio day one
Went into Avowal Studios to record scratch vocals and initial guitars.
For those of you who don't know: scratch tracks MIGHT be kept in the final product... but generally they are just used a reference for the other musicians to play off of.
Here is a look at the studio. We will all vocals, keys, and guitars here.... the bass, drums, and a few other instruments will be tracked at another studio
Wes Leyshon is the main producer and audio technician for the project... he is both a genius, and a generally great guy
My sweet wife stopped by to make sure we ate dinner, and to take these pictures
Make sure you are remembering WHY we are doing this project. Go to http://www.hopechest.org and see how you can make helping orphans and the needy a lifestyle...
Thanks for your interest in this project! More blogs to come! Stay tuned!
