Thoughtful Melodic Music That Won't Fit in a Box

RC & SC Rock McClain's

We caught a groove with a rocked up set at McClain's last night and got some more good feedback.

We'll be back on April 20th for another couple hours. We will be working out still more new material between now and then so mark your calendar and grab one of those cozy couches or chairs and check us out.

Here is an electrified version of an older tune,"Just When I'm Safe" from last night:

Highlights From Harvey's 3-22-12

Hey guys...and gals,

Last night at Harvey's was a great time again. We dig that place.

So, a few notes about the evening...for starters, I have been trying to get my voice back for the higher notes of Spring-like Clarity. It has been weeks since I had that viscious crud that destroyed my voice but I hadn't been singing much since then, so the past couple days I would practice the tunes and whenever I got to Clarity, I couldn't hit the notes.

Sometimes this is not just a physical thing but has a lot to do with mindset and where my heart is, so I was praying about getting back to what I felt when I wrote the song and being able to communicate the message of the song from an authentic place.

A couple hours before the show, I get an email from Scott with the subject line, "Did Jesus get a New Guitar?"

This is what he wrote:

I was cleaning up my stuff last night after practicing, listening to Spring Like Clarity and Brennan says “I love this song”. I smiled and said that’s great, I like this song too. I said “do you know what this song is about”? Brennan smiles and says “no”. I said that when you are feeling sad or scared that Jesus is there to make you feel happy. He smiled and got quiet. A couple minutes later he says “Daddy, did Jesus get a new guitar”?

 

☺

I melted when I read that...well, first I got a huge smile and laughed out loud but as the signifigance of the whole thing began to resonate within my spirit, I was overcome...I was now ready to sing that song again...the whole exchange and the timing of it...the fact of a little one being moved by the song and then Scott's childlike breakdown of the main theme of the song for his son to understand...it was what I needed...it was in fact, "My King reminding me that I am in His hand."

I dedicated the song later that night to Brennan, and I saw a few faces in that crowd intently listening to the words.

Grace and peace,

RC
