Paul Thomas Yoder brings a fresh new face to the world of Contemporary Jazz. Although his work has been called the "essence of Smooth Jazz", his individualistic musical style and interpretation contains elements of pop, rock, hip-hop and fusion. With some 35+ years of musical experience under his belt, his first release "Dreamin" scored rave reviews (www.cdbaby.com/ptyoder2) from ABC Radio International, Cafe Jazz Radio, SmoothJazz.com Radio, Opus Broadcasting, Jazz Improv Magazine and Smooth Jazz News. International radio airplay was achieved as well. His second release "Catalina Cool", features some of the biggest artists in the smooth jazz world including: Michael Lington, Mindi Abair, Paul Jackson Jr., Chris Standring, Jay Soto, Freddie Fox, and Dan Kuramoto of Hiroshima. Under the artful direction of producer David Longoria (Sting, George Michael, Cece Penniston), Paul Thomas Yoder has created a true masterpiece that is sure to spawn several chart-bound hits. Paul is currently rehearsing with his world-class band in preparation for tour support of the new release.
Every morning, every night, sometimes in the middle of the day... Escaping into dark, quiet corners to relieve myself Sometimes calmly, sometimes furiously... shamelessly Three times again today, is no surprise Laughing every time... seeing what I'd do to satisfy I want to take you up on all your offers... let you try Fulfill all the scintillating needs inside Heavenly wings and spitfire tongues taste like lullabies!
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness
through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and
goodness.
1 Timothy 4:8
For physical training is of some value (useful for a little), but
godliness (spiritual training) is useful and of value in everything and
in every way, for it holds promise for the present life and also for
the life which is to come.
Any time is a good time to confess the wonderful things the Lord has
done for you. In Christ he's shared with you everything for life and
Godliness. Whatever thing you commit to do in Christ will be done for
you on earth as it is in heaven in the spirit of sonship which is a
position not a gender. BE BOLD and GENEROUS for the Lord is that for
you. Know the Lord, and meditate on him always in every fashion he has
designed for you. Think outside the box, because the Lord is not
confined as many may believe. He is free...and has made you free in
him. Remember our God, the maker of everything we see and don't see has
taken up residence in you, and given you his awesome promises and love.
Beautiful peace, savory wisdom, Christ righteousness, joy and His
inexhaustible fervent love to you always! Go and be the success you
are! Otrie
Matthew 7:24
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into
practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The
rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against
that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the
rock.
