I have had the privilege of playing piano and being the band director for Morningside church for almost a year now.  The church has a TV studio that broadcast several shows around the world to over 200 countries.  It is on Dish and DirecTV 9 times a day.  One of the TV shows that I play on is the Jim Bakker Show and also the No Show Show with Tammy Sue Bakker.  I hope to upload some audio samples from the band.  We have a great sound and I have been having a lot of playing the B3 organ too. 

By playing on the show I have been able to play for artist such as Bebe Winans, Marvin Winans, Pat Boone, and Gerald Crabb just to name a few of the national artist that have visited the show. 

I will still be playing concerts as a soloist for select dates.

The drought strinken Midwest is finaly seeing some rain. As most of you know Clayton plays piano outside at the Branson Landing. Due to the rain he will not be playing so he is offering up 2 disk for $15, a rain delay special.

I am very happy to announce the partnership between myself and two great companies that I am working with. 

First is Kawai Piano Company.  In my touring to various churches and venues I have had the opportunity to play on several Kawai Pianos.  At this time I have signed agreement with them to use their keyboards.  I love the MP-10 and MP-6 models.  They have the real piano touch and sound.  Please visit their website to read up on their great products.

The second company is Testify Software which created a great track playback program called EmcePro.  Many touring artist rely on this software to playback the tracks they use.  Great reliability and ease of use.

I want to say a special thanks to these companies for supporting me and will look forward to working with them for a long time.

It was a real treat to get to play for the crowd during the KWFC Anniversary concert.  All the groups sounded realy good and the crowd showed great response.  Despite the stroms and bad weather there was still just over 2000 people.  Looking forward to working with the gang from KWFC again.

We just added a new concert at West Division Street Baptist Church in Springfield, Mo on April 22nd at 6pm.  Looking forward to this great event in my hometown.  You do not want to miss out.

On February 26th, 2012 I was scheduled to play at Northstar Church located in Pryor, Oklahoma.  As usual, I arrived the night before and was scheduled to do sound check with the praise band.  The address that was given to me ended up being for the Pryor community center.  Come to find out, they set up their complete stage, lighting, backdrop, back line, and chairs every week while they are developing their new location they just purchased.  All the Sunday School rooms, down to the floor mats, are all packed in weekly.  I was given the grand tour by pastor Roy Evans where he shared about his "Family".  You see, his although his kids worked in the church with him, he was referring about his church family.  This church has grown so much in the few years, single digit, that they have already started a new building process that will house the growing population. 

I was blown away by all the volunteers that showed up and took pride in their church and to think they do this every week.  Two semi trucks fully loaded are packed in and out every Sunday.  I was quick to tell pastor Roy that this comes from his leadership.  I was so excited and encouraged to see this.  It starts at the head in the leadership.

I'm really excited to be back down in Pryor on Easter morning.  It was a great church and anyone looking for a home church in the Pryor area, be sure to check them out.  1111 S.E. 9th Street (Community Center).  Tell pastor Roy I recommended them.

Well I flew into San Diego on Sunday and will be here till Thursday morning.  I have had a great stay and have been treated real nice from the folks from CJFM ministries.  Dr. Gary Hedrick and his staff are a great group of people to work with and am very thankful they choose me to work their conference again.  Last year I worked with them in Branson at the Hilton Convention Center.   Dr. Gary first heard me playing in Branson at The Branson Landing approached me about playing music for there events.  I am blessed to have this opportunity and look forward to future events with CJFM.

 

I had a great time running sound for the first KWFC talent show in Springfield, Mo March, 3.  Heard a lot of great vocalist and amazing talents.  I also had the privilege of warming up the crowd before the evening concert.  It was a lot of fun pulling people up on stage to sing improve.  Even had a Santa Clause on stage and got him to sing "I'm Dreaming of a white Christmas".  Having a hyper active brain can be very dangerous.  I'm already looking forward to next years talent show.  To the winners and all the entrants, Great Job!!!
