All of these tracks were recorded on a small travel size Yamaha Pocketrak recorder. These tracks will be spontaneous and unedited. . Some will have similar nuances, but all will be unique in their own way. The music here can be viewed, streamed, and downloaded below. I combined all "twelve" tracks of the album of the same name into one track which will be available on iTunes and is available on CDBaby now(it is offered here for free, but the version on iTunes is refined and as previously mentioned is only one track) - Twelve. This was done to represent unity in the Body of Christ. There is also a section to this page called faith - I am guessing that doesn't need anymore explanation. I hope you enjoy them. God speed.

Faith
Devotional songs based on the Passion of Christ and the Faith that His perfect life, death, and resurrection provides. It is what carries me through each day. Hopefully these songs will help you connect more deeply with that faith. These are offered as free downloads.

I Give You My Heart
[6:37]
Recorded Jan. 8, 2010 with the Altman Two Point. I think the name of the song sums up what every Christian does. We are not our own.

Trinity College
[2:21]
I bought this instrument - a Trinity College Oval Hole - for my daughter to learn mandolin. This recording was done on 2/21/11 and I used a Blue Chip 40 pick and Thomastik light strings. For a 400 dollar instrument, I think it sounds pretty good, though it doesn't compare to the Eastman DG-1 I'm playing now. God speed.

A Time to Worship
[2:52]
Recorded in the key of G with the Trinity College Oval Hole on Mar. 5, 2011 - using a blue chip 40 pic and strung with Thomaskik Light Strings. I think for a $400 dollar instrument it sounds really good. No reverb - just me, the mandolin, and the microphone. Used Apple's Logic Express for the encoding. Hope you enjoy it! God speed!

Easter
[3:00]
Recorded with the mind of a girl - she let me down - I celebrate Easter everyday - Christ's sacrifice doesn't become clear on one weekend a year - it is clear every day - with much love, Steven.

A Quiet Place
[4:54]
Second recording with the Altman. It is a meditation in G minor. It has many of the same nuances as the first recording. I mainly recorded this to show how an instrument can open up tonally during the first couple months with a lot of playing time. This instrument is really mellowing out. I have been playing it a lot. The name of the song was a suggestion that my Mom had. So I am dedicating it to her.

A Romp

Recorded in G major with the AL Smart - this track is a little more upbeat - I was in a band that had a song called Hillbilly Romp - I guess that's where I came up with the name.

Logan Pass

A meditation on John 8:32,36. Logan Pass is the pinnacle of Glacier National Park. The picture at the top of this page was taken from this majestic place a couple of years ago. Isn't the framework of God's world grand! Second recording using the Eastman "Dawg" mandolin. The track only has a little reverb added in. Recorded on July 31, 2010.
