A New Christmas Carol

Douglas Bond published the text for his beautiful Christmas poem in his book “God Sings! (And Ways We Think He Ought To).” Doug’s poem inspired me to add music. This new carol is the result. I hope it will bless you. You will find sheet music for both piano and vocal trio below.

Worshiping Jesus Continues

We recently lost a consummate musician, an anointed worship leader, an exemplary family man, and a close friend.  Bob Woll went home to be with Jesus after a mighty struggle with cancer.  He was my pianist of choice for 20 years in both the jazz and worship genres and a trusted confidant.  In this photo, we worship Jesus while paying tribute to this dear saint.
