...thanks for adding us David!...not sure if you'll remember me, but I met you in the 80's at a teen conference at the University of Rhode Island (I think)...I was a part of "The Team" (drama ministry) and you guys stayed in the same dorm as us. All I remember about meeting you is that you made a loud noise all weekend....sounded like a fog horn! ...does that sound familiar?! We had a great time with you and the band-mates...oh yeah, I remember your bass player was really cool too..can't remember his name...but anyway, so great to see you are still sharing the good news to a hurting and lost world. May God continue to bless your ministry, and hope to meet you again!..ps, I ended up marrying one of the members of "The Team"...my hubby Rick..God is so great!!! blessings, Vicki :)

Thanks for accepting my friend request. I have been impressed with your music ever since the mid 80's when I saw you perform at a coffee house here in my hometown of York, Pennsylvania! I think it was called The Melting Pot!
Your music is sounding great! Keep up the good work,
Jesus said, “If your first concern is to look after yourself, you’ll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you’ll find both yourself and me.”
