MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

i read two books last week…

“radical together” by my pastor, david platt – great book – even better when you can find it at lifeway for $1.99 – if you sat through the sermons, there’s not much of either of his books that are radically (pun intended) different – but both books are wonderful encouragement for a life that looks extremely different that current culture Christianity (much less the world)

“how music works” by david byrne – for a sort-of singer and definitely a band illiterate, this book was a wonderful gift this week – quite a bit i didn’t know – so i now know how record deals work – why albums are 11 songs – sort of – why music software creates the same songs over and over (basically) – why classical music is overrated – why music fits the venue, not vice versa – very good book by a very good singer/song writer/producer/co-writer – i guess if you’re in music for 40 plus years, you do it all

hope your week is wonderful – yes sixth grade, you must blog this week – particularly on Christmas morning – or else you’ll have zeroes to make up on the between quarters report card (oh yeah, there’s totally one of those)
