This ministry has been quite a journey for us. We have met so many wonderful people along the way and look forward to meeting many more and sharing God's beautiful message of hope in Christ Jesus. We pray that the Lord will use this music for His purpose.

Below are some of the fond memories of our recording journey. In the midst of which there have been concerts, school, teaching music, faith sharing, bible studies, long talks at 2:00 a.m., new band members. We’ve consumed lots of Twizzlers red licorice, coffee, Berry Blasts from Quik Trip, cheese and crackers, and Art’s jalapeno potato chips. These late nights have changed our lives. We pray that the end result will be pleasing to the Lord.

We’ve learned quite a few technical terms from Lee, such as: Imprecise Exactitude, groove buster, Charlie Chan dissonance, quasi-melodic, amalgum of ideas, and Dr. Verb.
