Cajon

I recently made a cajon...it's a drum that originated in Peru sometime back and apparently is big in Flamenco music. I became interested in it after hearing it played at my brother in law's outdoor wedding in July. It sounded like a bass and snare from a regular drum kit, and I went up afterwards to ask how it was mic'd--and it wasn't...so I was impressed with the good sound. They showed me the guitar strings inside that give it the snare sound, and I was hooked...something I could make in Africa!

I've tried to make a video in case you are interested. Unfortunately Oreo wanted attention at the time, but I think you get the idea...

New Album: Journey With The Invisible Friend

We are all on a journey. Some of us choose to journey with others, and some of us journey alone. Recently I was listening to some songs I've recorded over the years, and I spied a common thread--they all somehow related to my life journey with (spoiler alert!) Jesus. This blog documents some of that--getting sick, having kids, various projects, moving to Africa...and all the little things in-between. So while these songs are very personal records of my journey, I would like to share them with any who are willing to listen...in hopes that they may inspire you on your journey, wherever you happen to be along the way.
