Hey, remember that time I played a bass fill so deep in the pocket I came out covered in lint? Yeah… That was awesome.
It’s not the greatest fill ever played or anything, but I listened to playback and I remembered how important it is to #PlayWithJoy. #CHS #Renaissance #ShowChoir #ImBackBaby #arrangement #popmusic #coversong #LoveShack #B52s #80s #eightiesmusic

Conceived years ago but only fully realized this year, this “Silent Night” arrangement is a deeply personal track for me. There is tension in this narrative; a virgin mother, a newborn savior, an unsafe trek through perilous country, a manger bed, a king worshipped by shepherds… This night is one of reflection, adoration, and an understanding that while we can’t understand it all we can grasp the underlying truth: Emmanuel! God is with us!
