Let’s look at some of the artists who used the A to C, & C to A (minor 3rd) […]
I grew up loving hard rock, metal, jazz, funk, and fusion. But, to me the best of those genres must have one common thread… a “POP” sensibility. So, that’s why I’m often just as content to listen to a song by Lionel Ritchie, Toto, Little River Band, or Earth Wind Fire. Below is […]
Our oldest daughter’s recent baptism went well! We’re certainly praising God that she’s accepted Jesus as her Savior.
