I had been using the sonaar plugin for the past 3 years but those guys have just gotten too greedy with their prices. I decided to ditch it all for a free option and I’m glad I did. I don’t have as much functionality now but not having to pay $150 for another year of sonaar is awesome!

I updated my Music site and am trying to put my best stuff out there although some of it may be more in the category of ‘more meaningful’.

I have re-recorded ‘Who Among You Now‘ and titled it as such with ‘2023 remix’ added to the end.

I have also for the first time published a song I wrote a few years ago but never recorded called ‘Give It To The Lord‘. I play the bass on this one, having newly bought a bass and spending a few hours trying to learn the bass. I probably should not have played bass since I’m such a newbie at it but it came out ‘ok’. Overall, I like the song and the lyrics are self-explanatory and come from an honest place I was in at the time of writing it. I hope it’s a blessing to you.

Well, I finally went to the Acoustic Shoppe in Springfield Missouri and bought a McPherson Carbon Fiber guitar. I did this mainly because I’ve been wanting a Spruce/Brazilian Rosewood guitar for many years now and never could afford one. The carbon’s are cheaper and I finally read enough reviews to know I had to try one at the $3000 lower price. The wood ones are $10k or more. I should have bought the one I saw there 3 years ago that was Brazilian for about $7k I think it was.

I had my son, Chord, play it while I recorded it on my iphone. I’ll try to get a better audio version up soon.

I’m currently redesigning HalstedHome.com and will be switching to a wordpress site that will support mobile devices. I’ll be putting my music back up at some point and probably have a site dedicated to Learning more about Scripture / Life with Jesus Christ / Family Photos / etc.

God bless
