Nutshell Sermons

Doin this song in the reunion concerts

More of how Sweet Comfort became Sweet Comfort BAND *1975

Lets face it men are never quite prepared for what a woman brings

Just figures that the next generation would rather hear from Sponge Bob over Square Pants

“One tall skinny guy, one short pudgy guy and a singer that looked like a girl”

Our Final full original project as the Sweet Comfort Band but not the last songs recorded. And now a documentary is coming for our years together.

After releasing a song on the Reagan Movie Soundtrack last year & releasing a New Song & Video/Tribute to Christian Artists we’ve known who have gone before us. We were asked to do a documentary of the Decade plus years of the Sweet Comfort Band

Just some words that quickly uncluttered my own mind

yer feeling disoriented in your heart n mind… so you start cleaning the garage.

The Song is called “Feel The Love” .. and I say “Feel the Chills” at the end!!! Chuck’s Lead Vocal and Harmony’s from Tommy Coombs and Jay Truax is what The Jesus Revolution Movie never captured about Love Song!!

Now the late Chuck Girard, primary singer in the band Love Song wrote the most compelling Christian song I ever heard. Spoke to me more than all the sermons I sat under. The sweet serenity of a presence of God I felt in this song drove me to cross the country in search of my own place in serving Jesus as he did.

Got word today of Chuck Girard’s passing. Singer Songwriter for the Jesus Music Band that inspired me most. LOVE SONG. This song made me leave the east coast at 19 and drive to California. Just to be where that kind of “Jesus music” started.

‘Lets all sing “Feelings.. nothing more than feelings..”

I quit College to start a Rock Band.. my folks didn’t speak to me for several years

Why are we never happy with our looks?

Sounds like a great name fer a Band!

I might sound more resentful than I really am here.. but honestly it’s all just water under the bridge.. and I got a nice story out of it

Sometimes prayer is the only place to be honest with yourself and God

Quiet Prayers was winner of Dove Award’s Best Inspirational Album of the Year It was so unexpected I wasn’t in the audience to come up and take the Award. This song is for my wife today 6 days after a burst appendix and recovering slowly while fighting Trigiminal Neuralgia.

When yer winnin the war on the fight in front of you and suddenly you’re flanked by a new enemy.

Playin music in a big hall with lights and smoke and a huge crowd isn’t where most musicians live most of the time. The music might have changed but the savior we proclaimed has not.

In disillusionment where “you still believe in yourself to mend” “You Think Its Losing…. What You Cannot Control” In the valley of the shadows Jesus says “DO YOU LOVE ME” as if to add “Still”  

The Bible does say that “you will have trouble in this life”

Infections take a longer prescription of Antibiotics to clear. Maybe I should start a regiment  

I’ve been looking for the fine print in Gods Word about when we might retaliate

As fans of CS&N, and the Eagles, & Love Song we would add that flavor to Breakin’ The Ice with “The Lord Is Callin You” Listen for the synth solo on the end, played by Larry Williams (not Me) & one of the horn players

The project brought us high marks, but it wasn’t my favorite. Why? because it was humbling bein around so much outrageous talent. I was the weakest link. .

We had to learn to make room for more musicians when we brought in half of the band Seawind, including the Seawind Horns

After only ONE project with Maranatha Music, We realized we were floatin in the wrong ocean. The story before starting our second record Breakin The Ice ce

Turns out Sweet Comfort Band was playin smooth jazz in a CCM genre And Yacht Rock before it had a name

Don’t we all have one picture we want to be used at our memorial service?

Beware of Allowing your self awareness to continue, cause it leads to Self Pity-Oswald Chambers

In light of recent newstories revolving around a Christian Music Icon  

Our first recorded song is “Golden Ages” on Marantha 5 *a compilation project of local Jesus music bands from Southern California It dawns on me now that we recorded Golden Ages our first ever recording, before we added guitarist Randy Thomas.

My younger self is back, tellin my older self what I mighta forgot

I got a flattering Father’s Day card that I’m not sure I’m living up to

Every Father Is A Son from my Conversations project

Or how to recognize God’s real chosen leaders

Everybody wants to make a record but then comes years worth of promoting it on the road. makes me think of that song “Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die”

Get Ready is how we ended every concert for over most of our 11 years in concert. “Live” it was a Five minute long jam session..including my ‘cow bell’ solo LOL

Another sermon from my younger self

Here’s what happens when a rock band is goofing around during a break and it turns into a song.

Happiness does not need canned laughter

Best thing about adding a guitarist for me was that twin harmony on a song like this, both voices bending notes in sync

3 piece Sweet Comfort Band.. adds a guitarist

First song ever to hit the radio for the Sweet Comfort Band was on a secular rock station KMEN in So. Cal. Introduced as a ‘local band’ and came on after “New Kid In Town” by the Eagles.

With my new help in AI I have created a ‘new creature in Christ’
