I haven’t been performing much in the last couple of months, so I’ve had enough time to rehearse and play with a local WELS Christian band, Urgent!, and also the praise band at The Vine.

The Vine is the…

Well, I've got news. I've parked the bus at an RV park in Spokane, Washington, and I'm transferring my church membership to St. Matthew Lutheran here. This is the first actual winter I've experienced for 20-some years. Why, you might…

I'll be playing keyboards for the WELS band "Urgent," one of several bands performing for this benefit.

Hello, friends!

The lady-who-runs-my-website (she REALLY doesn't swing with webmaster/webmistress designations) tells me it's high time to blog something. And I realized that I do indeed have news:  I've moved to the Northwest! This is kind of a return to…

"WELS Creative" Timothy Reynolds does a wonderful interview with Chris. (The Springs Lutheran Church, Sparks, Nevada)

Hello from warm and dry Arizona! I have been parked at Holy Cross Lutheran in Tucson for the last 6 weeks, and I am grateful to these nice folks for their hospitality. I also really appreciate the opportunity to continue…

Houston, we have a problem! Actually not really - this is a great place to get through December if you are a wandering piano player for Jesus.

Here in Texas I am playing Sundays only for worship and sometimes a…

This small viewer of one of my live-streamed concerts was inspired to get out his guitar.  I guess that's a positive to the pandemic. You can bring your guitar to church- and play along!

Doesn't really get more precious than this!  Thank-yous from kids at the Mount Olive Overland Park school.

Hello from Mt Olive, Overland Park, Kansas!  I've been allowed to keep singing in our churches in spite of Covid-19, social distancing, and reduced attendance!  I just sang this morning for the elementary school here. (They are the Cougars.  Boy…

It can be done!  Still singing for Jesus.

Traveling Musician Returns to Lake City

Wow, is it great to be singing for actual people in the pews again in our churches!  I've been playing for empty seats and a video camera for what seems like forever, as I was blessed to be able to…

I am the new owner of a three-wheeled contraption called a recumbent trike. It is an “off-road” model with bigger wheels, wider tires and extra low gears for climbing.  I have been mildly depressed as a result of three months…

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I'm writing from my bus which is parked at an RV park in Alabama for the next 5 nights.  I had a wonderful 3 months in Florida in December, January and February singing for our WELS…

Wow, am I enjoying my two and a half months in Florida!  It has been unseasonably warm this winter.  I'm wearing shorts and sandals almost every day!  My pleasure is only increased by listening to weather reports from my friends…

Greetings from the road!  I am now firmly committed to the southern portion of the United States; strictly in the southeast district for the next three months.

Something I am really looking forward to is spending 10 days with my…

Summertime in Wisconsin- the best!  I really enjoyed playing for the annual St Paul outdoor worship and summer picnic August 4th.  We'd planned an outdoor service in Union Grove, but the weather didn't cooperate.  No problem- it was sunny inside…

In early September I purchased a 20-foot 10,000 pound gross weight flatbed car hauler trailer. I cinch the van to the trailer with some things called chain binders, and they attach it quite securely. This is a big improvement over…
