Like many songwriters, I sit down daily to write.  Lately, the Holy Spirit is moving my pen faster than I can write the words.  Seems I've been writing a new song every single day, if not more.   

Much of my inspiration comes from old Gospel Hymnals, as I read and sing some of them a particular phrase will grab my attention and I'll write it down.  Often I can find a passage in the bible that supports the line and lends meaning to the words.   That will get me started with the spark of the Lord and I just follow his lead because he is leading the band. 

Adela & I traveled and performed in all sorts of venues, churches, farmers' markets, and more.   If we can get a crowd at 2 am in a punk bar in Brooklyn to start singing "Amen, Amen" along with Hank Williams, "I Saw the Light", we can bring the Holy Spirit anywhere.   Jesus went among the sinners to show them that he is the light and the way.  We follow that example, he is our guiding light. 

As Covid allows us to get back to live performance, our hearts are filled with joy and hope.   Having the Grace of the Lord guiding us in our music is the most amazing thing.   

As the music flows through us,  and as we bring people together, and the Holy Spirit descends upon us all, let us be blessed for the ability to do this
