Blog #4 08/21/26 Sorry folks... Has it been that long? Well I think this might be worth the wait.

I do have a lot to share, but I'll keep it short for now. 

I watched the Netflix series Challenger: The Final Flight about 5 years ago and it brought back a lot of memories. I remembered exactly where I was when I heard the news. I remembered watching Reagan address the nation that evening. And I remember the first impression I got when I saw the actual event. There was this massive cloud, and then out of that there were these white streamers that came out of the cloud and spiraled down to the ocean. And as they descended I thought, of all things, Snowfall. 

So I started working on my Snowfall project in 2022. I was just about done with it in 2023 but I set it aside to work on After The Storm, and then a project for a friend, and then the trip to Real World Studios (and Calling Carolina). 

And I've got another project (or four) in the works. But then about 6 months ago I decided to dust off Snowfall. I got it finished, with a little help from my daughter. How fitting that I finished the song in 2026, the 40th anniversary of the Challenger Disaster? 

Or was I finished? 

Because even after I released the song, it still hadn't released me. 

Whenever I listened to Snowfall, these images played in my head. Whenever I shared the song, I would tell people the story of what I was seeing in my mind.  

I realized that this song wasn't going to let go of me until I got those images out of my head and into the world. And so I made my first music video. 

Please enjoy Snowfall:

It's about relationships...

Thank you for visiting my little Music-verse. 

I am a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. 

But more than anything, I am a Believer. And I want to share something very personal with you. 

In February 2023 I made an entry in my prayer journal: “Make a living making music”. When I wrote those words and prayed to God to make it happen, I had no studio and no idea when or how He would answer that prayer. I only knew that my Father was listening to the prayer of His child. 

Long story short: Right away He began opening doors and directing my path. I see His hand working to fulfill that prayer. 

Just like you, I am far from perfect. I'm not even religious. But I do have a relationship with Jesus. And I am a witness that He has been faithful in all of His promises to me. He has delivered me from evil more times than I can count. He has cleansed me. He has renewed my strength, time and again. He has changed the desires of my heart.

I don't share all this to be “preachy” or to make anyone uncomfortable. But having found something true and unchanging in a world full of lies and chaos - and having benefited so much from my relationship with Him - wouldn't I be remiss if I didn't share this experience with you?

I do believe all that I have experienced in Christ is available to everyone. And it has nothing to do with how much you go to church, how many good things you have done, how much money you give, etc. 

It has to do with the relationship that begins the moment you say: “I believe in you, Jesus.” 

Now let's talk about music…

My biggest influences from a creative standpoint are Bruce Springsteen, David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), and Peter Gabriel. But I also draw from a well of musical styles, genres, and generations too deep to dive into here. 

I love good music. 

I love making good music. 

I love hanging out with great people who love making good music. 

If you are one of those people, drop me a note! 

You can reach me directly at midastouchstudios@proton.me and let me know you're listening.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
