Oh Canada…

Hey yall,

A few days ago I crossed into the foreign lands of Canada for the first time in my life. The band and I played in a “hockey-rink-turned-arena” outside of Toronto. Good times. Nothing like singing some songs with some good old Canadian folk.

We had quite a lengthy break during the day so we went to see a movie. I can’t figure out if I like “Ironman” or if its just really cheesy. Any thoughts? I have yet to see the new Narnia movie. Being the Narnia fan that I am my expectations were fairly high for the first movie, and sadly they were not met. I suppose it’s foolish to expect a movie about a book to rival the book itself. I don’t think I’ll be so hard on the new one.

I spent the last few days at a camp in rural southern Louisiana. No TV. No phone. No computer. Just me, the campers, Jesus, and a few canoes… Is that how you spell canoe? I highly recommend a trip like this every once in a while. Though I’m a little sore from an 8 mile canoe trip, I feel refreshed.

Now its on to Tuscon. Hope you all have an amazing day.

Go Cart Racing

Hey friends,

Today me and my friends Pete and Phil raced go-carts. This a picture of us in our trendy protective headgear. Pete has produced my last two records. He’s in the yellow shirt. Today we worked on a radio version of my song True Love. By “radio version” I mean we made the song a little shorter and a little more poppy than its original version in hopes that various radio personel might want to include it in their various playlists. Gotta do what ya gotta do right?

The other handsome man in the photo is an up and coming artist named Phil Danyew. Danyew is a talented young man and a long time friend. Be on the lookout for his music in the future. You won’t be dissappointed.
So the live recording in Portland last Friday was a tremendous success. Thanks again to all who were a part of it both in Portland and online. The recording of the night will be available for free download from this very site in the near future. We shall keep you posted on it.
Stay tuned,
Phil

Thanks Portland

Hey Everyone.
Thanks for making last night such a special night. I am excited to hear how the record comes out. Thanks to everyone who came out to the show and thanks to everyone who watched it online. I had a great time and am so glad I was able to be a part of it.

I will have details soon about when the record will be available here on the blog, so keep checking back.

So, here’s a question. If you watched the show online what part of the country are you in? I know there were some ‘East Coasters’ watching and it was pretty late out there. Thanks again for everyone that was involved. And thank you so much Solid Rock Church.
