Thank you Sir Jimmy!!!

Thank you Mr Ron Rost! Always such an honor to hear your comments. Love the term ethereal!

Thank you for the very kind comments my friend!

Thank you!

Thank you Sir Tex!

🎼Merrrrryyy Christmaaaas toooo yoooooo 🎶

Will do sir!!! News very soon!!!

You know how it is... We don't seem to have any choice in the matter. What a great gift THAT is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Sir! Yes, I was long overdue writing this, but I feel this one so much, it was worth the wait!!!

Thank you so much my friend! This song takes me back to when Terri and I met. Back then I wrote her a heartfelt poem which I gave her with some flowers: Simple, but beautiful, The flowers as well as us, It is as it should be, Neither of us wants for much, The reasons, as the skies, Are often so very clear, We have in each other, The very best... You... And I... here. It set the "love" bar pretty high, as she still has that poem on top of our fridge! This song, after 46 years, perhaps finally approaches that bar...

Thank you! I get a very FEW who think I went too far changing it, but most people love it! Me too! I absolutely LOVE playing this arrangement!! Especially with Madeline on Cello! WOW!!!

I am so happy y'all liked it! It was a very special performance for me! Twas Fun! Fun! Fun!!! And tell your son I really appreciate his interest in my music. I LOVE it when I hear that YOUNG people are tuning in!!!! Take good care of yourselves you guys!!!!!

Thank you my friend! I love that our first time together was at your event! The League City Folk Association is an incredible new "place to be" on the music scene!!!!!!!

Thank you Theresa! Yes she is wonderful! We will be recording together soon, and also occasional performances as her schedule permits. I absolutely LOVE how much this expands the depth of my music! (And how I now get to hear what has been in my head for so long when I write my songs!) The sky's the limit in my view!

Thanks Sir Tex! We will be recording together soon, but there will also be live performances together as her schedule allows. Surely one day soon at The Old Quarter at your Song Writers Night!!!

Thank you Rachel! Thank you for the kind comment! I am finally back to healthy enough to get back into this 100%, and I am excited as I can be about it!!! I just signed a contract with a brilliant young concert celloist (35), and she is unbelievable! She will add that Beatles style element that I always hear in my music!! Really exciting! And she believes in my music enough that we are going for broke with this. Also have a young jazz bassist interested too. It's going to be FUN FUN FUN!!! I really miss you guys. I pray we get to visit before too long!!!!!!! Love y'all too!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so glad you enjoyed it! This is a new beginning for me, and I am very excited! We shall see where my music goes in the near future! Keep your eyes and ears open for me!!!!!!!!!! Ciao!

Thank you for the kind comments Cindy! I will check out "Somewhere Out There" and see if it fits my style! And YES, I do have three CDs. One is my old band (the one that got on the charts and the radio back in the 80s!), VOYAGER, Sound Barriers LP. Another is a collection of LIVE recordings of my performances around Houston. A third CD is a collection of audio cuts from my RUclips Videos. Send me your address and I will send them to you!!! Finally, YES, I do a bit of Country because nowadays, I am more of a Folk singer/songwriter, and I hang out with mostly Folk singers. I will also look at "Ribbon of Dardness" and see if I can work it up too!!! Great hearing from you cuz!!!!!!!!! Hope to see y'all someday soon!

I can’t find that song. Did you mean ‘I know you’re out there Somewhere?” (Or something like that)

@@mikekiser8071 yes. Here is the link to their official video. ruclips.net/video/cjImFYf2Vzc/видео.html

@@cindyk.studio1960 I have always LOVED that song! I don't usually do their more recent stuff, but I do really like that album. SO.... I will work on that song and let you know the results!!!!!

Thank you Sir Hap!!! I am so glad you enjoyed it! Brings back memories doesn't it!??? I just LOVE this song so much! SURE DO MISS YOU GUYS!!!!!!!! i hope we cross paths again real soon!!!!!!! God bless you both always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much Theresa!!! Yeah, when Deana forwarded this to me, it really got me going! I think I am mentally right back where I was when I was doing this in my thirties!!!!!!!!!! What a blast THAT was!! See y'all very soon!!!!!

Hey Tex! Thank you for chiming in!!! I am especially glad you enjoyed this. My friend caught a little magic on film it seems, so I just had to share it! I knew this felt good when I played it that night, but even with a very scratchy recording, it comes across pretty well! See you soon my good friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much EchoM...! I am especially proud of that aspect of this performance. I do recall how much I enjoyed your style when we heard you at The Old Quarter, and that makes me understand why YOU noticed the monolog most! It IS something so very special to me! (BTW, you are the only person to single that out, and I am right there with you.) It MAKES that song!!!!!!!!!! Keep on making great music my friend!!!!!!!!!! Ciao buddy...

Sounds like whoever that preacher was, he wasn't quite up to snuff on scripture. Actually it was two things. (Breaking the legs was the method of speeding up death because they could no longer raise up to breathe.) The soldiers were ordered to break the legs of all three, to hasten their deaths, which was ordered because evening was eminent, and the Romans needed the bodies down before nightfall because delay would defy Jewish tradition. They found Jesus was already dead, so they did not break His. Then the Soldier pierced his side to make sure he was dead. BOTH things were to fulfill Old Testament prophesies which say not one bone would be broken, and He would be pierced!

@@mikekiser8071 it was long ago, may well be I who has gotten things confused.

@@TexRenner LOL! Yes, at our age it's almost the way of things. ( Oh say it ain't so!) BUT... It is just as possible you recall correctly, because some preachers tend to preach to their intended message, more so than to the precise scriptures. (The end justifies the means) And I can't be critical of such. We ALL embellish stuff all the time, in our minds it's often to try to help someone understand something, or believe us about something. Same thing about preachers. They are only human, and have a VERY tough job!!! All due respect! (So let's call this one a "push"! Harrrrumpffff!!!)...

Thank you so much! I am especially fond of this one myself!!!!

@@mikekiser8071 I really like it Mike !! Loan

@@quycung4799 Thank you Loan! It is very special to me! (So nice to hear from you too!!!!!)

Thank you Ron! It's a real honor coming from a master song writer / instructor!!!

Thank you Jazmine! I really love your father. He is a very good man, a faith filled man, and I have the greatest respect for him! I pray the very best for you all. It is always especially flattering when younger folks enjoy my music! Thanks again!!!

Thank you so much for the kind comment! And yes, we came SO close to making big waves back then!!! Terri and I were negotiating with an exec (Hamilton Alexander) from Columbia Records who wanted Voyager to be the star band on a new label under Columbia Records, called Soft Records (Soft Rock). After many weeks negotiating every Thursday at Red Lobster (his fave!), we were about to sign and he stopped showing up! The band broke up (disbelief on the other guys' part), and years later I saw Mr. Alexander on Channel 8 saying he walked away from his job "that day!" Turns out his daughter died of sickle cell anemia during our negotiations with him! I told Terri "God must not have wanted me to make it in music!" Looking back, I think that might be so. I was a mess and might have ended up in a very bad place! He wanted me to wait until I started writing Christian music!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!! Now, He might let me gain that recognition by the public once again!! Hey, you never know!!!!

@@mikekiser8071 you never know. Interesting story!

Thank You Rachel! Indeed, I am SO thankful I am given more time (heart surgery looks like it will be successful in the end!), so I can continue to share my music with more and more good folks out there!!!!!!! Yay!

Thank you for the nice words Y'all! I do try to stay true to myself and write about spiritual subjects and ideas with at least half of my songs. Most of the rest do end up with a spiritual lesson behind the lyrics. The best basis for vocal music in my humble opinion!

Thank you Tex! YOU ARE TOO KIND!! (lol!) I will definitely play it at 3DD soon! I'm hoping I will be up to singing again real soon!!!!!!!!! I miss all of you fine folks (and great singers/songwriters!!)

Thank you Hap! Glad you like it! (Even though it can be viewed as a bit of a downer, it's saying how I feel about this... and that's what us songwriters do best!!!) As always, I'm very appreciative for your very kind words.

Thank you Sir Hap! I really appreciate your kind words! As I have said, THIS song is so very special for me, as everyone can see in my details / comments about the back story behind the song. We ALL owe our wonderful lives to the fallen ones who paved the path for us!!!

Thank you so much for the compliment Joyce! God bless you right back!!!

@@mikekiser8071 def

@@tonywhidden1804 I have to claim ignorance here. What is "def"? Inquiring minds need to know!!! lol!

Hap, my friend, you are always one of the first to speak out! I do so appreciate your opinion, because it means so much coming from you!!!

Thank you Jon! I am so glad you enjoyed it. Lots more coming up as I have decided to dedicate 2021 to sharing all of my best original compositions, which is over 50 tunes, so lots to look forward to for me (and a time of surprises and discovery for my fans as well!!!). Have a great Christmas season!

@@mikekiser8071 thanks very much mate I’ll look forward to it! and a merry Christmas to you also
