about

Revisiting my first project from 20 years ago (see "Thank You For The Music" on BandCamp) has sparked an interest to release a project that focuses on my radio days...back when songs of mine were featured on radio. Songs like "Apple Cider Kisses" got their start on radio. But I was shocked over the years to discover many of my singles received airplay globally in both Christian music and on mainstream/secular music. "Finally Free," "Christmas in the World," "The Mission," and "Thank You For The Music" immediately come to mind. In fact I did a small tour with a radio station back in 2017 after I discovered they were playing my songs. So I am digitally releasing an album that focuses on songs that made it to radio. I guess you could call it a "Best Of..." project (or songs that were near-hits). Besides liner notes on behind the songs, I even found some radio spots and several radio interviews to include.

Volume 2 focuses mostly on guest appearances I did on "The Billtown Bus Stop Radio Hour." In 2009, I began work on a concept album entitled "Masterpiece." I eventually abandoned the project, but we plugged an early mix of the title track on "The Billtown Bus Stop Radio Hour." When I met up with the late Rick Elias in 2010, we decided to re-record "Masterpiece" for my 2011 release "TRAGEDIES & MIRACLES."

Many of the songs on this compilation never saw an official release to CD or digital stores. So I included one of those tracks "You Are Love" as a separate track for download. Also some recordings and projects are no longer available, so I included two tracks "The Mission" and "Bread" as separate downloads. These songs have been unavailable for ten years.
