I have served in Music Ministry as director of choral & instrumental ensembles, as accompanist, singer, organist, worship leader & more. My strongest spiritual gifts are in music, administration & encouragement. I am animated & told I am a dynamic leader because of my enthusiasm for what I do.
My charisma & gifting are for live leadership and I make no claim to being a "recording artist." I know that when playing and singing live, the Lord uses me to bless others and draw them into worship and that's all that really matters. The Rev. Carl Luthman, may he rest in peace, opened my eyes to that over ten years ago and I have been affirmed over and over by people coming up after worship service and telling me that something I did, said, sang or played moved them spiritually.
PLAYLISTS:
1. "Me Singing" playlist = various recordings of moi singing to tracks I recorded on my Korg. Newest vids are all contemporary. My first vids posted were audio recordings, one of which go back up to 10 yrs ago ("Think About His Love") and I used the tracks to get my feet wet using MovieMaker.
2. "Misc. Videos" is just that = Sparky, cooking, radio ad, around the house, etc.
3. "Me Conducting" playlist = four excerpts from Living Christmas Tree 2007 plus live video from a 2008 cantata.
4. "Choral Accompaniments" playlist contains exactly that. There are also a bunch of contemporary accompaniment vids with lyrics displayed which were teaching aids in helping a newbie praise team learn new songs (which is why most of those were made quickly and kinda thrown together).
