“Praise the Lord I tell myself and never forget what he does for me” (Psalms 103:2). This is one of my favorite bible verses and it is so representative of my gratefulness for what the Lord has been doing in my life recently. I’m so blessed this summer to have been able to perform as guest soloist in several diverse spiritual centers including Guidance Church (Los Angeles), Oakland Center For Spiritual Living and Ventura Center For Spiritual Living. I played music from my “A Grateful Heart” CD and received much love from everyone I encountered. Special shout outs and love to Rev Nirvana, Penny Hurly,Rev. Clare, Deb Santa Monica, Rev Joan Steadman, Kadari, Rev. Bonnie Rose, Annette and everyone else who help make my visit a wonderful experience! At Guidance Church, I performed as a trio with world-renowned musicians Michael Bradford on bass and Will Kennedy on drums. Both are godly men who love the Lord and it was truly magnificent making music to praise the Lord!

I’m extremely blessed to have been invited by Dr. Clifton Davis and Trinity Broadcast Network to be music guest on “Praise The Lord” Program recently. The show was taped in Irving Texas and will air worldwide on September 23 and 24^th. Please check with your local TV and cable provider to view program. This was an amazing experience and opportunity to touch the hearts of people around the world through God’s gift of music. I’m performed “Majestic Splendor” Morning Prayer”, “Agape Love” and A Grateful Heart’ from the “A Grateful Heart” CD.

I’m delighted to share with you my collaboration with superstar husband and wife team Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis. I’m contributing string arrangements for their “Soldiers Of The Second Coming” recording project with outstanding production work from Laythan Armour. This is an outstanding praise and worship ensemble of singers and musicians based in Los Angeles, California who meet monthly to minister in song and testimony from individuals in the attendance. It’s always an inspiring and uplifting experience to witness God’s amazing healing power through faith. They are a tremendous example of how a long marriage in the entertainment world can survive and succeed on God’s terms.

My friend Eric Reid tapped me to sub for him for a week as music director for “Crowns” in July. This theatrical production ran at the Pasadena Playhouse in Pasadena, California and was about the importance and significance of the wearing of hats by African American women from past generations to the present. The music was powerful and represented the best in gospel and spirituals performed by a stellar cast and musicians. This production is a sure bet for Broadway success. I look forward to hearing and seeing you sometime soon!

Praise, honor and Glory to the Father!
