These people have most influenced me and impressed me with their humility and godliness: Jon Courson, Chris Tomlin, Paul Baloche, Matt Redman, C.S. Lewis, Charles Stanley, Chuck Smith, Todd Stainback, David Crowder Band, Charlie Hall, Terry Clark, Phil Wickham
True worship is a sacrifice of the will, a laying down of self desire and taking up of the cross. Real worshipers are followers. Followers of Christ. This is adding to what so many others have already discovered. In Him we are satisfied. He is the greatest thing in worship music. He is the main attraction and the encore. It's His name and glory. Let's keep singing it!
My pal Woody Black runs a music store in St. Louise, plays in a band, & has this very cool social network for musicians on Ning ~ so I'm inviting all my musician friends to stop in for a visit ~ check out my page ~ hear one of my tunes ~ & maybe even consider setting up your own page to display your wears, it's free join & it's easy to create another unique & visible site for your music on the Internet.
I have a new tune on my other myspace called 'Jazzy Blue' ~
This is the first time I've gotten to record within my brand spanking new ~ totally optimized Ashram / Asylum ~ & I must say with this updated digital recording facility & some new axes to grind ~ it is truly a luxury at it's finest ~ at least it is for me me me !!!!! So here it is ~ just a rhythm track I'd made over the last couple of days ~ in order to acclimate myself with all the new toys I now have at my disposal . . . I'll be writing lots of new lyrics as well as new music ~ for both of my upcoming projects ~ the follow-up to my debut CD now available on Moiko Records ~ it's a new concept album I've been (Ben) working on for over a year & a half ~ as well as the awesome new version of The Altruistic Messiah's latest touring band ~ a line up consisting of life long friends & a few of the most amazingly talented new individuals I have just recently had the honor to become associated with ! I am always wishing each & every one of you the very best ~ & this continues to be the primary focus of any & all communication between us as individuals ~ it is my belief that this concern is fundamental in the advancement of humanity ~ & that this is the reason we are alive ~ that this is what we are living for ~ as human nature must transcend into something greater than it ever has been (Ben) ~ as every single one of us collectively evolve into everything we are destined to realize ~ & we must leave no man or woman behind ~ STOP WAR ~ I know I go way off the beat & path often ~ but I love everyone !!!!!! Peace, Ben P.S. PLease don't forget to attend my CD Release Party at the Rainbow Bar & Grill on the Sunset Strip ~ It starts at 3:00 P.M. November 1st & of course YOU ARE INVITED !

We hope all is well? Don’t be a stranger; we love to hear what’s going on with you, even if you just told us yesterday. Sorry for being so slow in responding to messages, we are doing our best to catch up. How would you finish this rhyme, “roses are red, violets are blue..................” Whoever has the best answer will get a free CD.
Much Love,
