About Me

My photo
I was born to sing. I am a singer/songwriter and pianist currently serving as worship leader of my church. Growing up, there was only one passion for me and that was singing. Although I went to music college and studied classical singing and piano, I never liked that style of music. I've always preferred contemporary styles, blues, rock, ballads and soul. Although my goal is to record an album I think that the challenge of making this dream come true, is the real prize for me. When I sing for the Lord's purposes, namely worship of Him, I believe that I am accomplishing what I was created to do. And I want to share this with everyone with your help.

"ising4him"

Many years ago, I gave up my youthful dream of becoming a professional secular singer. That decision was made after I became a Christian and realized that God had created me and given me talents that He intended for His use and not mine. Hence the title of my album, "ising4him", depicts what I believe the purpose of my life is . I have sung in many places and in many styles over the years and have enjoyed it all. But none better than in my home church, singing the songs that the Lord has helped me to write. It is a wonderful thing to be able to fulfill my purpose for being in this world. I have no regrets for my decision.

I would like to be able to record the songs that I have written for Him to share with everyone. Please consider contributing to that cause. Thanks. Chris

We're Hopeful on This Next Lead

Good day to all who are reading this. The weather here is beautiful here on the shores of Connecticut with the forests about half bloomed creating a soft green carpet on the tree tops. Tulips are up with the other spring flowers. The grass is a brilliant green and colors and fragrance fill the senses. It is a good time to enjoy the wonders of the creator.

Well, here's the latest on my efforts to find a producer and recording studio:

Jerry, bass player extraordinaire, tried to look up an old acquaintance that he had recorded with years ago, only to find out he has moved to Nashville, TN.. So sorry, but I guess that guy's not going to work out.

But Jerry has another idea. He has another friend, who also just happens to play a bunch of different string instruments, including steele guitar. (I happen to like country music and one of my songs that I've written is of that style and could really use a good steele guitar in it). So....I'm hopeful that this could be a good lead for us.

On the home front, I'm busy trying to keep my efforts evenly balanced between the choir and the worship team, home and family. And of course, staying on Weight Watchers.

Well here we are with spring upon us. Everything blooming. God once again proves that He alone is the master gardener. His timing is impeccable. Everything blooms just when it should, every year. Spring comes without fail. We can count on new life each spring, a productive summer, a time for harvests as summer closes and we merge into fall, and a winter for rest and cleansing. When have you ever known His seasons to not come?

I am relying on His direction and timing for the album. Baby steps are what I seem to be taking as I step out of my comfort zone. Little pushes from friends keep me going. But I give the Lord the credit and I'll tell you why. He knows what I need and He directs my steps. His timing is right. So this is the time for the album. This is the time for the planning, for the preparation. Just as a gardener plans the garden he will plant, so this is the time to prepare for the album I will make. A few donations have come as I slowly spread this website address. I'm just not a person to jump in with both feet, blindly. I want to do this right so that the finished product is right.
Thank you for following this blog. Thank you for your help. Chris
