It's Just The Normal Noises In Here

I haven't posted in a while. Just been busy doing all sorts of things.

The new song that is playing (assuming you have your sound turned up) is a song that Angela wrote and we recorded the other day. It's for the women's ministry in our church. They are doing the new Beth Moore bible study, and Angela was asked to write a "memorization" song for the bible study. She wrote the song and then I performed all of the instrumentation. (I'd just call it music but we have an inside joke there).

So Angela does all of the vocals, and gives me the creative freedom to take care of the instrumentation. It's a pretty good bit of teamwork, and we were pretty pleased with the way this came out.

Now a true musician will note that this song sounds like a hybred of different musical styles. You see.... this is representative of God's people during this historical period.

God's command to Israel was to keep the bloodline pure, but Israel sinned and married those from different cultures etc. A little known fact is that the Amalekites were the predecessors for a nomadic tribe that eventually migrated to North America and settled in what is now known as Mexico. This tribe was known for its musicianship and culturally distinct stylings on various stringed instruments. Their cultural musical stylings had a substantial impact on the Jewish music of the time. Combined with the fact that Daniel was in Babylon during the exile, it is no wonder that the music of that time was so richly seasoned.

So this musical piece we have constructed is highly represetnative of the condition of the Israelites. That's why it sounds like a Jewish song done in Babylon with a Hispanic guitarist playing along. :)

Anyway.... I just wanted to take a minute and update the blog..... and share this little song with anyone who stumbles across this site.
