I Don’t Have A Title For This

As much as I would love to be one of those people who write consistently, something always seems to come along and derail my efforts. Usually it’s my own lack of discipline. Yep, I’m lazy. I also don’t know if I have anything important or interesting to say. To prove my point, I really don’t […]

Hey Look, A New Post!!!!

If I make it through the next fiften days I will turn fifty-six. I confess, that is messing with me a bit. I just recently read about something called a “three-quarter life crisis” and I guess I’m there. The article I was reading says it usually occurs during the late sixties or early seventies. Depending […]

Petra – Hope (2026)

Petra officially released their 21st studio album on January 5, 2026. It is their first album of new material since Jekyll & Hyde was released on Inpop Records back in 2003. There was a Spanish language version of Jekyll & Hyde (2005), the live Farewell in 2005, a new song (Holy Is Your Name) on […]

It’s Easier Said Than Done

I don’t remember the date but I do remember the day I first heard about King’s X. It was late 1989 and I was at my buddy Roger’s house. We had been in a band together and liked the same kind of music. I don’t know what we were listening to when Roger said, “Hey, […]

My Top Five Perfect Pop Songs

I have several longer posts in the works but I wanted to post something since they are not ready to share. I’m currently doing rankings of every studio album by King’s X, Sweet Comfort Band, and Iron Maiden. Lord willing, the King’s X one will be finished early next week, followed by Sweet Comfort Band. […]

Styx – Circling From Above (2025) – A Review

Four out of Five **** My copy of Styx’s eighteenth album came today (6/9). I have been listening to the first single since it was released back in May. Someone posted the entire album on YouTube a couple of days and I listened to it in the background, knowing that my copy was on the […]

The entire album is set to fully release on July 18th. I really like the single and have ordered the album on […]

The Fives

I was born sometime between 7:30 and 8:00 PM on Tuesday, June 2, 1970. If I had waited about four hours I would have been born on my mother’s birthday. The #1 album the day I was born was Paul McCartney’s McCartney. The #1 song was Everything Is Beautiful by Ray Stevens. The #1 movie […]

Stryper – Soldiers Under Command (1985)

Even though I will be discussing Stryper’s music, this won’t be a traditional album review. I don’t consider myself a music critic even though I can be very critical at times. I am approaching this as a fan and nothing more. There will be times when I am probably too forgiving but I guess that […]

Ten Of My Favorite CCM Albums

I once sat down to compile a list of the ten best albums released by Christian artists but soon discovered that I could not whittle my list down to ten. I couldn’t even get it below fifteen, so ten was completely out of the question. So, I decided to give you a list of ten […]
