The Story...
Every now and then I get the itch to
start recording. And as usual, the Lord has continued to amaze me with
His goodness! After a year at Mount St. Mary's Seminary and then another
one at the North American College in Rome, I had written enough songs and
had enough incredible experiences to want to share them musically with
family and friends. Doug was more than accomodating, as usual, and though
this album took longer to record than the last one, I hope you'll find
it to be of better quality and equal spiritual richness as The Sacred
Romance. This new CD, Mount Zion, has been a joy to record,
and it has especially been a grace to work with so many talented musicians
and vocalists. I have been so blessed to know many people through music,
and I wanted to include as many of them as possible on this CD. So I hope
you enjoy the finished work, and I hope that in some small way it inspires
you to "trust in the Lord", our spiritual Rock, more and more!
