Wednesday Influences: "Jet" by Paul McCartney and WIngs


When I was in kindergarten, I would get home from school and watch the Bozo the Clown Show (from Washington, DC). They had a regular feature where kids could draw pictures and mail them in to the show and then someday they would be put on a wall and the camera would pan over them while music played. I had been on a roll where I was drawing pictures of mountain lions (?) in a little valley. My family had probably seen more than a few of these pictures. I excitedly sent one of this series of great works of art in. One day, as I got home from school, I heard my sister call out that my picture was on screen right as I walked in the door. Alas, by the time I got up to the living room (up a measly half flight of stairs), the camera had panned away. But, I distinctly remember the song playing that day. "Jet" by Paul McCartney and Wings instantly became my favorite song and kindled a lifelong love for music.

A few years later, I realized Paul McCartney had been in some other band before Wings.

Song of the week: Rock My World

Image
  "Rock My World" is the title cut from of my 4 song EP Rock My World (obviously). It was meant to be a full-on '80s arena rock jam. It is also inspired by the Great Commission . Rocking out and telling people about Jesus - what could be better? Verse There’s something that you need to hear,  something that you need to know When the power comes upon you,  you know that you need to go Go be witnesses in your own back yard Everywhere around the world, the gospel shall be heard Chorus Rock! My World! Rock! My World! Verse Every authority has been given to Christ our Lord Go to the nations, proclaim to them His holy word Go make disciples, teach them what you know God will be with you, everywhere you go Repeat chorus Bridge Behold I will be with you Even to the end of the age Behold I will be with you Even to the end of the age Repeat chorus Listen to it at the following links: Spotify Apple Music YouTube Music

Welcome to my new site

Welcome to my site! As a devoted follower of Christ, a loving husband, and a dedicated father, my life journey has been profoundly shaped by faith, family, and music.

So yeah, I thought it was time to have a site for everybody to check out my music (whether or not they are on Facebook or Spotify).
