“The Melodious” who would choose a name like that? I have to admit now that it seems a bit braggy, but it did not cross my mind when I chose it. Have you ever heard the old hymn “Sweet By and By” the melodious songs of the blest? I love the word melodious; it makes me think of an overload of fruit on a vine.
Can anyone be melodious? I certainly see that God’s intention for all of us is to fit perfectly into His orchestra.
If you liked Keith Green who influenced me back in my teen years, there’s a good chance you will like my style.
I grew up learning hymns, but have grown to appreciate many styles of music from classical to alternative. However, I find that I express myself best with a middle of the road pop/rock and sometimes jazzy style with an uncomplicated piano part leaving the creative genius to the other musicians.
It amazes me how my dream to create a music CD suddenly doesn’t seem like such a big deal any more. The deal is now to learn creative ways to sell it so that I can do it again. If I keep writing and recording, maybe someday I’ll say something that will strike a melodious chord with people and I can do what I dream of. You know like standing in front of a lot of screaming fans, singing songs from my heart and reaching as many as I can with simple truth.
