I always find it difficult to classify my style. I have many, all based around an acoustic guitar. My style has followed the course of my life. When I was young and solo, my songs were mostly thoughtful quiet stuff. When I became part of a band, I wrote songs with the band in mind. When I was a solo artist again, it was a mix of the quiet and the loud. When I was a worship leader, it was worship songs. When I was a father, it became kid songs. When I was a choir leader, it was choir songs and arrangements. I’m not much of a heavy rocker any more like I was, but I can still dredge it up if I need it, which I hardly ever do…
To the aspiring artist
The star-making machinery which bombards us on every side would have us believe that the successful musician is the one who plays 200 concerts a year and tours the globe, playing for sold-out venues wherever he goes. Don’t believe it. The successful musician is the one who does what he does to the glory of God, and does the best possible job he can do. We mustn’t set our eyes on the ends of the earth, because God wants us to use what He has given us to serve His people and His cause here and now.
Set the Church as primary in your efforts. Seek her good above all, because God loves His Church and has tied the future of the world to her performance. When she shines, the world is blessed; when she languishes, the world rots. Work to make her shine. Love her. Honor her. Submit to her. Try to resist the temptation to bypass her for the sake of your own gain. Use your gifts and abilities to further her work, and to bless her people.
