Thanks to my parents, I took many years of piano lessons from many teachers as a child. Then, my final teacher taught me how to improvise songs out of a hymnal for congregational singing, and the musical possibilities really opened up for me after that. As for playing the organ, I have no formal training, but I get by when I need to. Both my Grandmothers were church organists and pianists for years, so it feels like a role I inherited, and a family tradition I carry on. Although I no longer play traditional services, I do still play occasional weddings, funerals, wakes, and fill-ins. Generally, my weekly praise band involvement supercedes my availability for other services, but I try to take off as often as possible to accompany the congregation at my home church, Grace Christian Assembly in Smyrna, TN. Over the years, I've played in numerous handbell choirs, ensembles, and orchestras (frequently as the lone percussionist) and worked in numerous capacities on various cantatas and variety shows since my youth. Here are some piano recordings I quickly made for my mom of me playing some of the old-time gospel hymns I grew up singing and playing for the congregation. Note: When I say "quickly", I mean these are improvisational, one-take recordings which contain a few mistakes, so be warned!
