Last night I was so bored so I did a search on some classic Christian Rock Bands in our B&N network. I found out, much to my surprise, several "Big Name Studio Musicians" were in early versions of Whiteheart. Names like Dan Huff and Chris McHugh. You probably don't know them from Adam, but they are all over your favorite Carrie Underwood, Lonestar, Keith Urban, Faith Hill, and Jewel recordings.

And remember Steve Green? He recorded that nice little ditty, "People Need The Lord" back in the 80's. I can remember 1,000 different instances of people murdering that song in Special Music segments at church growing up. He was the original lead singer of Whiteheart. *Gasp* The things you find out while searching the internet.

Have you heard of Grammatrain or Galactic Cowboys? No? Those bands were keeping up with Post Grunge America, sonically, in the mid 1990s. They were alot like Stone Temple Pilots, only without the cross-dressing and heroin.

Mudcrutch reminds me of a band I played with in college. They play "Six Days On The Road" much better than we would've.

"Back To The Street", "This Means War", and "On Fire". The trifecta of amazing output from Petra. I'm glad you think so, too.

"Tea and Sympathy" by Jars of Clay has a boatload of chord changes.

I've been craving classical music. Check out the Chinese pianist Lang Lang and you'll understand.

Sushi rules.

So does Stevie Wonder.

That's all for now.

Concerts R0x0r

went to see Collective Soul in Boulder last night. The following are some crappy cell-phone pix of the event:

Ed in a traditional lead singer pose.

Joel playing some lead riffs.

Dean, rhythm guitar master.

Dean actually moves from stage left.

Ed gets close to us.

Ryan laying the groove down.

And Will, bassman extraordinaire.

Finally, a Break!

A happy post for once in a blue moon.

I had an interview for an "Operations Assistant" position at the University of Denver Bookstore on Monday, and they called me back today to offer me the position.

I gladly accepted their offer and will begin my official employment with DU on May 30th.

There are some great benefits to this position, including some great holidays off, paid public transportation pass, and education opportunities!

Plus, some of the guys on the staff are gigging musicians!

Things are looking up!
