HAVE YOU HEARD

Here’s the deal…

For a start, original tunes or renditions will be found here.

The Schubert’s are blessed many ways, and musically we have tried to use our gifts and talents in ministry, but also just creatively reflecting in Whom,’s image we are to reflect.

This category has stuff where that effort has been captured (recorded).  No small thing.  While live is best, here’s is something we can share from ‘out of your hearing’.  And, as always…

Thanks for listening

This song started out about my first poodle named Teapot…was supposed to be a kids song, happy and a bit silly. It has become a whole lot more…

From way back, before many were doing this, I tried to ‘remake’ this amazing hymn.  This was pretty much a one take deal…it was too scary to hear myself sing.  I was trying to show how a singer might render this hymn in a new musical  style… rough draft kinda thing. But no real apologies.  I hear what I was trying to communicate… and there is enough here if you can hear it.  Thanks for listening.  And sorry about the hum.  Back then I think it was either the forced air furnace or the frig in my old house in Missoula Montana

…

Well. I’m getting over my head here…there are various formats to be considered.  But for now, we’ll try to get this tune out…it’s one of a few ‘testimony’ songs (mine) that I’ve written.  Again, this is from a long time ago as I was tinkering with song writing, recording and such.

So this is a take from a scripture

 6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.  Psalm 55:6

This is, of course, written way before cellphones…maybe it’s time for an updated version

This track from way back was my first effort to add as many instruments as I could on the 4 track, bouncing stuff from one track to another to make room (that’s the popping you hear).  Not technically very good, but you can imagine how fulfilling it was, and still is for me, to get something out of my head, onto a modality that others can hear.  (Imagine what else might be in here…)  And again, I played, or tried to play everything you hear on the track ‘acoustically’,.. real guitar, piano, drums,… even real trumpet, real bass, real popping….

The photo is in Thailand, but it’s supposed to look like a Mexican courtyard…to go with the tune.

Here is an original composition from way back, recorded on a Fostex 4 track cassette deck, from my first album, Touching By Someone Touched, in/around/about  1986…wow that’s 30 years ago… this is the instrumental version.  There is a lyric goes to it as well…another track for another day.
