How did you get into CCM?
After I was baptized my mother took me to this little christian
bookstore in our town and there I bought my first Christian CD "High Gear" by
Whitecross! This was the beginning of a great love...
Perfect Band:
- Vocals: Pete Stewart, - Guitar 1: Jason Martin, - Guitar 2: Wally Farkas
- Bass Guitar: Doug Pinnick, - Drums: Ted Kirkpatrick
- Lyrics by Mike Herrera, Matt Slocum, Jonathan Foreman and Steve Taylor
Addt'l comments: All statements that I made change from day to day! I think, each band has an original style and it's hard to say one is the best! It's great God gave us the gift of music!!!
[Ed's Note: Thanks for joining! It looks like it'll be great fun to have you with us.]
And you thought I only recommended albums? There is an interesting, fictional book by Reed Arvin called WIND IN THE WHEAT. Now, what separates it from most Christian fiction books is that it has to do with the Christian music industry and how artists are sometimes faced with things like compromise. It's not a brilliant book, but it is very insightful if you like Christian music.
A. What is a topic that you think has not been covered by someone in the Christian music industry that should be?
(Tobias) I guess nearly every topic has been covered by SOME artist! Maybe the topic of young children dying... don't know!
B. Have you ever heard of Passion before? (the group that has the #1 Christian Retail Top-Selling Album this week)
(Tobias) No never heard something about it, but it's no wonder because I'm from Germany! In about two months I [will] probably hear something about them!
[Ed's note: Actually I've never heard of them either. If I find out anything about them, it will be posted in CMS next week]
A. Rate these singles: (1-Don't like 10-My favorite!!)
-Carolyn Arends' "Go With God"
-Caedmon's Call's "There You Go"
-Plumb's "God-Shaped Hole"
B. Jennifer Knapp and Sixpence None the Richer will be at least some of this summer's Lilith fair dates. What do you think about that?
