Videos

Here are some videos I have made. The first is of a trip Kathy and I took to the Grand Canyon with our friends Norman and Jenny Meeten. The second is when Kathy and I went with our friends Sandy and Beth Robertson to San Diego for a day. The videos are simple, but were fun to do... :)

Music

... songs I have recorded:

I have recorded the following songs. Some were recorded in May, 2010 when our daughter Kim was soon to leave for Atlanta to pursue her doctor's degree in kinesiology. I wanted to record some of her violin playing before she left. Then in August, 2010 our older daughter Christy was with us, so we recorded several songs. One song called Saint Augustine is by the group Band of Horses. Also there are two versions of a lovely Christian song Christy and I did called How Deep the Father's Love for Us. You can decide which version you like the best... :)

 

The songs are very amateur, but we had fun doing them! It was so good to work with Christy and Kim on these. I have put them roughly in the order I like them, the best being first.
