FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT ABOUT DRUMS?
FIRST OF ALL, ALTHOUGH I AM NOT COMPLETELY AGAINST USING DRUMS, I THINK IT 
NEEDS TO BE HELD TO A MINIMUM WHEREAS NOT TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE MESSAGE
OF THE SONG. THE MESSAGE SHOULD BE THE MAIN FOCUS ON ANY GOSPEL SONG, NOT
THE BEAT OR THE MUSIC. THAT BEING SAID, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN A CONSERVITIVE
BEAT IS USEFUL IN A SONG.
AS FAR AS ON "THANKFUL" THERE WAS NO DRUMS ADDED BECAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL 
IT WOULD ADD ANYTHING USFUL TO THE SONGS.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON THIS CD?
FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. I HAD SOME TECHNICAL SETBACKS, AND ALSO SOME OTHER
HINDERANCES WHICH CAME UP WHICH CAUSE IT TO TAKE A LITTLE LONGER THAN IT 
SHOULD HAVE.

WHO IS SINGING WITH YOU ON THE SONGS? AND WHO DID THE MUSIC?
ALL OF THE SONGS WERE SANG BY ME, WITH ME DOING ALL THE PARTS, WHICH ON SOME 
SONGS INCLUDED LEAD, TENOR, BARATONE AND BASS. 
I ALSO DID ALL THE MUSIC EXCEPT THE PIANO WHICH WAS DONE BY OUR WONDERFUL 
PIANO PLAYER AT CHURCH, MRS. ANGIE HEIRS. 
ON THE CD I PLAYED LEAD AND RYTHYM GUITARS, BOTH ACOUSTIC AND ELECTRIC. 
ALSO BASS GUITAR AND KEYBORDS ON "MY TRIBUTE"
MY OTHER "DUTIES" ON THIS CD WAS ARRANGING RECORDING, MIXING, MASTERING, 
PRODUCTION, AND DESIGN.

WHERE WAS THE PICTURE ON THE FRONT TAKEN?
THAT WAS TAKEN ON MY FORMER PROPERTY ON THE EAST FORK OF LITTLE RIVER IN 
HALL COUNTY GEORGIA ON A BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY BEING ENJOYED BY MY SON AND
MYSELF.

CAN I GET A SOUNDTRACK SO I CAN SING THESE SONGS AT MY CHURCH?
YES, JUST CONTACT ME BY EMAIL FOR PRICING AND ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS.

WILL THERE BE ANOTHER CD?
LORD WILLING, YES. I AM ALREADY IN THE PLANNING STAGES FOR A CD, USING PRE-RECORDED
TRACKS WITH THE INTENT OF THE PROCEEDS GOING TOWARD SUPPORTING AN ONLINE
AND RADIO BROADCAST MINISTRY OF THE LATE EDGAR THOMAS, WHICH I AM TRYING TO
GET GOING. KEEP CHECKING BACK FOR UPDATES ON THIS VENTURE.
ALSO I AM IN THE PLANNING STAGES OF MY NEXT CD WITH MYSELF DOING ALL THE 
MUSIC. I'M ALREADY TURNING OVER SOME IDEAS AND THE LORD HAS IMPRESSED
ON MY MIND SOME SONGS I FEEL LED TO LEARN AND TO DEVELOP A SOUNDTRACK FOR.

IF YOUR NOT OUT TO MAKE A KILLING WHY CHARGE FOR YOUR CD?
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, EVEN WITH A SELF PRODUCED CD, THERE IS A LOT OF EXPENCE.
OUT OF THE PRICE OF THE CD, RIGHT NOW CLOSE TO 85% OF THE COST OF A SINGLE 
CD IS GOING BACK INTO THE EXPENSE OF MAKING IT, WITH THE OTHER 15% TO BE 
USED FOR FUTURE RECORDING AND EQUIPTMENT, WHICH REALLY ISN'T MUCH IF YOU DO
THE MATH! SINCE THIS IS A FIRST TIME THING FOR ME, IT IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE,
AND HOPEFULLY I WILL FIND WAYS TO CUT DOWN ON THE COST OF PRODUCTION.
AT ANY RATE, WITH THE AMOUNT COMPLIMENTARY CDS GIVEN OUT, IN TRUTH, 100%
OF THE CHARGE WON'T EVEN ALLOW ME TO BREAK EVEN. DOES THAT BOTHER ME? NO
LIKE I SAID, I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE A PROFIT, BUT TO SING FOR THE HONOR, GLORY 
AND PRAISE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND HOPEFULLY BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE
ALONG THE WAY.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE MY OWN CD, CAN YOU HELP?
IF YOU LIVE IN THE GAINESVILLE AREA I'D BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU ON IT. WHETHER
YOU WANT TO USE YOUR PRE-RECORDED TRACKS, DO THE MUSIC YOURSELF, OR IF YOU
WANT ME TO PROVIDE YOUR MUSIC. PRICES ARE SET ACCORDINGLY. JUST EMAIL ME WITH 
ANY QUESTIONS.
