Home sweet home – as great as it was to tour with JMT, Terry Talbot and band, it is fantastic to be home again. It is wonderful to be able to share the gospel, and to play music while doing so. But my vocation is to marriage, and my greatest responsibility is to be a Father to my three beautiful children. The “road” is a trip to the front lines -Going to people’s places of worship and dialoging, both musically and otherwise after the evening is done. People are tired “out there”. The hurricanes, the gas prices and the fear of the ongoing war on terror is palpable in the people we play for. We need the good news more than ever. When JMT plays the banjo, and Terry sings about all the “stuff” we are possessed by, I can see that people are moved to pray, to laugh, to clap along and to have a little fun. Yes, we get “serious” and we pray deeply, but John’s new MONK ROCK material gives people a chance to sit back and hear a guitar played really well and maybe just smile a little. I, myself, love singing two new songs from my UNRAVEL CD and then having JMT and Joe Hand join me for “Here I Am”. Our percussionist/drummer, John Martin, is a show all by himself. He is a wonderfully talented “dude” and a hit with the crowds. But like St. Paul and John Paul II, journeys always lead to home. And that is where I want to be for the next three months until the tour goes to Florida in February.
