A Boomer in the Pew

My First Video Mix

Boomer in the Pew - here is a video mix that I just finished for my blogging with Scottsdale Bible Church. 

As blogging fare is generally lite, on Fridays, I thought you might enjoy this.  This is my first production using my new Canon Vixia HF S10, with the aid of Apple's iMovie.

Heritage Mass Choir, Afro-American Style Gospel in Korea

I just received an e-mail, from one of my former Michigan mortgage clients, with a link to the Heritage Mass Choir (Afro-American Style Gospel in Korea).  Thanks Sandy!

I hope you enjoy these two videos:

The Boomer Sings

Top 12 American Idol finalist, Scott MacIntyre, has inspired me to be a little more vulnerable.

So...here it goes.

Twenty plus years ago, my wife and I were in Nashville.  As we walked down the street, we noticed that they had they recording studios that you could walk into, right off the street, and make a recording.

My wife begged me to make her a recording.  After MUCH persuasion, I succumbed to her wishes.

Now, understand, I just walked in off the street, AND, I was singing to a woman so beautiful that it takes your breath away. 

Therefore, I was a little shaky in the beginning, as I was trying to gather my composure. 

So...here it is....Boomer Idol! 

Be kind Simon Cowell!

I placed the audio recording behind the front page, so that it doesn't make my page take so long to load.

Continue on to hear the Boomer singing sweet love songs to his wife...

Congratulations Scott MacIntyre for making the Top 36 on American Idol!

Air and Simple Gifts (from Barack Obama's Inauguration)

Maestro John Williams arranged a piece based on Aaron Copeland's arrangement of the old Shaker Tune "Simple Gifts" as "Variations on a Shaker Melody". Yo-Yo Ma performs along with Itzhak Perlman on violin, Gabriela Montero on piano and Anthony McGill on clarinet.

'Tis the gift to be simple,
'Tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
It will be in the valley of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gained,
to bow and to bend, we will not be ashamed
To turn, turn, will be our delight,
'Til by turning, turning, we come round right.

[HT - Paul Mathers]

Mario Lanza - O Holy Night

I grew up listening to this when I was a kid.  Mario Lanza was solely responsible for my love of opera.
