When faced with an auto-immune / rheumatological / neuromuscular condition that threatens both your medical and musical careers, do you:

(a) Disappear into oblivion, having lost parts of your identity
(b) Self-loathe, consume lots of alcohol, smoke weed in your backyard
(c) Binge-watch on Netflix

OR

(d) While you still can, record a new full length CD where you play almost all the instruments....then donate 100% of sales to your church

I went with option (d). This thing called life is quite the journey.

Alongside Chuck Kroeker, I have been a co-music director for the contemporary worship path called "The Journey" at St. Mary's Road United Church (Winnipeg, Canada) since 2010. This CD contains 15 songs from the Journey Band repertoire that I have re-arranged for the cello and accompanying instruments. Leading the Journey Band at SMRUC continues to be a highlight in my own personal journey of life. I hope this music brings joy and happiness to your life; it certainly has in mine.

*100% of sales will go to St. Mary's Road United Church
