Hi
everyone! My next upcoming interview is with Mark Farner previously of
Grand Funk Railroad band. Mark was one of the biggest most famous rock
star of his era. Guys thought he was cool and wanted to be like him and
young ladies wanted to be around him. He lacked for nothing with great
talent and all the wealth a rock star life can bring. Yet, in the midst
of it all, he found he had a great need for Christ. Most people in his
position never give God a second thought, but God was
working in his life behind the scenes. Interesting interview. Coming up
soon, stay tuned. A video of him and the band back in the day - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJrgTwdMFd4
The Caspar McCloud Band, one of our team members Caspar McCloud is coming out with a new CD soon. Here is one of the songs from the CD performed on Atlanic Live. The song "How much longer can it be" a cry from a heart looking for the soon return of Christ.(Click Pic)
Here is a recent Interview with Bing Crosby's grandson who is also a crooner. He had to find a old song back in the day to avoid copy rights and he sang in that style as well. (click pic)

(Catch
my interview with Tommy later this year) Tommy James with his friend
Paul McCartney. Two people who dominated the music scene back in the
day. Tommy James and the Shondells had 23 Gold Singles and 9 Platinum
Albums. A movie is being made of his life from his best selling book
about his life called: "Me The Mob and The Music". You might have seen
Tommy recently on the Huckabee show talking about it. Here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lJGfgzMC8c also here is a clip of Tommy on the Ed Sullivan show singing one of his hits, "Crimson and Clover". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS0niyiKlcw
Check out some of the pics I have listed below. Tommy
James found himself in a scary situation as a kid, all the record labels
at the time wanted to sign him, Capitol, RCA, etc. but a Mobster who
ran a record label at the time called them all and said, "hands off,
diss record contract is mine", the next day the record companies started
calling Tommy saying they had to back away Tommy didn't understand what
was going on. Tommy was always open to the idea of Jesus, but it wasn't
until he found a Bible in a hotel room and took it home and studied it
that he "dedicated" his life to Christ. Tommy now has his own label. His
is a remarkable story. I was thrilled yesterday to receive his book and
several of his CD's in the mail a big thank you so much! When his gigs
ease up some this year we will book the interview.
His song Crystal Blue Persuasion is about the book of Revelation
