A Pleasing Theme

Posted on February 20, 2020 by Pete

I’ve heard stories of songs that have come to composers almost instantly. An idea is seeded, an inspiration blooms, and, before you know it, a song is written. Verses and choruses emerging from nothing in just a very short time. … Continue reading →

Posted on December 5, 2019 by Pete

Posted on October 24, 2018 by Pete

The Veil Removed

Posted on April 26, 2018 by Pete

He was not to be denied. Wouldn’t be ignored. Nobody, but nobody, was going to “Shush!” him. The blind beggar, Bartimaeus, saw an opportunity (pun intended). And by faith–a loud, boisterous, crying out faith–he was going to seize it. “Jesus, … Continue reading →
