Things Got A Little Weird While Recording “The Water And The Blood: The Hymns Of Isaac Watts, Volume Two”
Recording can be an exhausting experience. It might sound like fun – making music all day, playing guitar, etc… – but in truth, it requires a tremendous amount of mental and emotional focus.

One book I’ve been going through in particular that my pen has taken a liking to is, Worship Matters: Leading Others To Encounter The Greatness Of God by Bob Kauflin.
