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
Phil~ We had the most awesome time of worship when you came to New Song in Oceanside. We are still so amped about it and thank you once again for coming out that night and blessing us with your gift of worship!
I was very blessed that you gave all glory to our Lord. And like the above post said they thought it was cool that you left the stage unannounced while we were still worshiping to ” Oh come let us adore Him” … so awesome!!!
I took a cool picture of my girls hands. They went back to camp awhile back ( you did the worship) and wrote “love” on their hands. So they did it for the concert too! I thought I’d share it, just because I thought it turned pretty cool:0)

My girls are now singing your worship songs as they have learned to play the guitar. Thank you for your awesome example to them of being down to earth and honoring God in your approach to worship.
Oh…
I think all that goes on is with the music on the radio is that they shorten the song a bit. It has nothing to do with having a goal to get your music on the radio. You can still play the CD if you don’t want to hear the shorter version ;0)
Blessings, Angela
“Gotta do what you gotta do”?
Well if your goal with your music is to get on the radio.

What’s going on this weekend in Dry Creek,LA? It’s only about an hour from our home, and I know my family would love to attend. We’ve gone there a few times for retreats.
Our radio stations play your music sometimes, but I took a trip through the Hill Country of Texas, and there was a Wickham song on every hour. It was so inspiring….with the sunny countryside and wildflowers. Thanks for blessing us with such beautiful music.
Great picture! I wish there were New York stations that played your music..actually I wish there were New York stations that played meaningful God-filled music period!
Phil, I have a plan. I say you sign up to win those Coldplay tickets for Madison Sq. Garden. If you win, you take me. If I win, I’ll invite you. It’s a perfect deal. This way you can also get a feel for the venue…my prayer is to see you playing there some time soon. It’s possible. All’s possible for him who believes
Hey Phil! Awesome worship service at Solid Rock the other night! I took some pics and posted em on my website. Let me know if you want any full res copies!
God Bless

Phil, you put a smile on my face.
I can’t wait for true love to be on
the raido it’s my favorite song of yours.
love you music! Keep up the good work
wow. I can’t believe its alsmost been a whole entire week since the concert. And one month a week from tomorrow that you announced that you were doing this! keep it up!
Very serious before go cart riding, huh?
Looks like good times all around! Our worship band has added “True Love” to their playlist and it is so awesome. The first time we sang the song was during our Good Friday service. It fit perfectly.
can we say ninjas?
Very nice. I’m pretty excited about the download. Thanks a whole lot for making it available for free!
and by thier loss i meant their loss
yea real nice you crazy kids. haha.
im so excited for the live album.
also i dont think you should of had to make True Love any different. its amazing how it is. i hope you didnt do it just cos it will “sell” better. cos if the radio doesnt want to play it how it is its thier loss. this makes me kinda nervous. dont sell out Phil!!!!
cool. lol. like some ppl have asked: how DOES that protect your head? lol. Tomorrow I am going to “The Way” to see you brother play. fun fun!
I just hope Phil that you don’t get sucked in into the whole music industry standard loop. I understand you need to make a living and stuff but let’s not forget that our main goal is to bring glory to Christ.
Don’t just make music cause you need to or write cause there’s a deadline. Remember your first acts in how simply wanted to write music from you heart to the Lord (like in “Give You My World”). If you put Him first (which you are) and seek to please Him only (not men), God will bless you abundantly more that He already has.
…Continue to use the gift and talent He has blessed you with bro and seek to know Him and to make Him known in your life and music.
Looks like fun, but wondering too what sort of protection that headgear provides!
I was very blessed to hear you at New Song, Oceanside for the benefit concert. The way you wove old hymns into your worship music was awesome. What a refreshing night of worship! Thank you! Keep shining for Him!
Blessings, Angela
Hmmmmm…
“Mr. Kipley and the Phil’s Go Racing”
That sounds good. Like a charming (if not slightly cheesy) old 1950 ish Disney movie title.
Question – (I’ve never gotten to do that so…) Unless that is some kind of yellow chain mail(not the annoying “you MUST pass this on or else” kind, but the flexible armor made of jointed metal rings kind) how does it do much protecting of one’s head? I just wondered – lol.
Also – Way to have a good attitude on the politics of radio, yes even “Christian radio.” Indeed, sometimes we do – “gotta do what we gotta do.” I’ll be praying the Lord blesses your “new” True Love single to be used for His purposes. Don’t lose heart! He’s got a plan and timing all mapped out for you and your ministry. Keep claiming it.
Prayers and blessings to ya – Melody
You guys look crazy.
haha that picture is amazing.
phil danyew is amazing too.
and i cant wait to hear if they soon play true love on radio!! woo hoo!!
and i cant wait for the portland download!! woo hoo!! haha.
god bless,
amanda
Phil Danyew is awesome. I actually just stumbled across his music on Myspace a few weeks ago. Nice post, Phil.
Hey Phil. Haha, nice protective headgear. Radio version of True Love? Sweet. I’m sure it sounds great. They need to play your music on the Christian station in my area. Anyway, I’m really excited to hear and download the live recording!!! I didn’t get to watch the whole thing last Friday because it was late here. That’s so cool that it’s gonna be up for download. Can;t wait
God bless!
