I mentioned BandMix, but the next week they said that there wasn't much in the way of Christian musicians. Are there any faith based musicians here?
I have quite a few songs that mention God, but they're not preachy. I do have a couple that really do represent to the fullest, but in a creative way rather than a preachy. To each his own.
I wish I could find musicans to play with who were down to earth about Christ, and open minded enough to write about all kinds of things. It's hard to find an ecclectic bunch. If it wasn't, I would probably already be playing. I would think that someone would be available out here in the Bay Area.
It's cool knowing that Alice Cooper, Dave Mustaine, and Nicko McBrain are all faith based guys! Of course, a lot of people say they're hypocrites, which is definitely the box I would get put in. I'm not going to have a nervous breakdown trying to be anything but human. Only God can change my bad habits. I'm no better than anybody else.
IMHO, people in bars and clubs want to be entertained. It's not a Church. It's all about using wisdom in what you say, how you say it...and how much is too much to say. People want to get away and breathe when they go out.
Music should express who you are in all facets. Isn't that truly celebrating creation and life?
