Well, it’s definitely been awhile since my last blog post. Not sure anyone really missed it but I got busy with work and other things that I put it off way too long. That’s actually what I’m blogging about, really; what I’ve been up to the last month. I’m in the process of looking for a bass player and I think I might have found one. It looks promising, just keep your fingers crossed for me. I’m excited to say, I signed a distribution and marketing deal with Tate Music Group recently. I really believe this will open doors that I wouldn’t be able to open on my own and that’s a huge motivation me and the band. I also spoke to my pastor about this opportunity and quite surprisingly, he was very supportive about it. He said that he would help me develop a fan-base within the church and start promoting my name and as you can see from the picture I was the head-liner for Enid First Assembly’s “Night of Praise”. That was cool but a little awkward too. It’s weird when your name is up on the marquee and people are kinda teasing you about it. I’m not complaining by any means. I am extremely thrilled that my pastor is behind my efforts and wants to see me succeed. That’s really cool. He’s actually been talking to me about marketing myself to different demographics so that the more people I can connect with the more success I will have. I totally agree and say, “Thanks” to him and his support. My wife and I really appreciate it and it means a lot to both of us. Well, that’s what’s been happening on the music front and on the job front it’s been hectic as well. We are on the downhill slide of a staff over-haul and our annual “Dad-Fest” is finally behind us and now we work on rebuilding our Saturday Night Service and getting ready for our annual community block party. It’s definitely been busy but I think by the end of the year I will be able to look back and see that it was a turning point and a profitable year in terms of accomplishment. Not many people can say that. Can you? Until next time….
