Ok, I have a new song on my myspace. It’s different.
The Staple Singers
Posted by Dan on 27 Nov 2006 | Tagged as: music
The first time I heard the Staple Singers I was enthralled with their rendition of “The Weight” as they were playing with The Band in “The Last Waltz” (a live video recording of The Band’s last ever concert with guests such as Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, and Van Morrison). So much soul, I loved it. It’s taken me a few years though until today when I finally bought the Best Of The Staple Singers. It’s an amazing mix of Soul, Gospel, R&B and Motown. Every song has something punchy in the vocal melodies and the bass lines are bluesy without trite 12 bar funk. Good stuff check it out.

| What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
Â
“You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. |

Lot’s ‘o Music
Posted by Dan on 20 Nov 2006 | Tagged as: music
I’ve been involved in a lot of music stuff recently that I’d love for you to check out.
First of all the worship band that I lead “ish” is signed to an indipendant label Semper Reformanda Records with a great guy, Brian Thomas who owns it and runs it. He is a musician and worship leader himself, you should check out his electronic take on classic hymns, you can stream it on the site.
Also, you can visit the Ish myspace at myspace.com/rivish
I also played this weekend with Folksplosion the folk band at Riverview. The band has a myspace as well where you can hear some tunes from this weekend myspace.com/folksplosion
Also, Sean and Jeremy are heading up the new indi/electronic take on worship with The Difficulty I’m playing some keys/organ/synth stuff and it’s really fun.
Lastly I have been doing some writing and demo work on a possible acoustic solo album that I’d like to do, you can check my progress at Dan Price Music.
Please, if you have a myspace account, add these bands to your friends, leave a comment and say hello.
Merge
Posted by Dan on 14 Nov 2006 | Tagged as: Uncategorized
Sunday night we had another Merge event where we listened to some fantastic music by Brandon and Laura, I taught and then we took communion and prayed. I’m so excited about the future of this group. We have some really good ideas to reach out to the community and to reach in with small groups. Here are some pictures of Sunday:
In Response to Health and Weath
Posted by Dan on 03 Nov 2006 | Tagged as: Uncategorized
From Miles Stanford’s Green Letters
“Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: He that soweth the good seed is the Son of Man; the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom” (Matthew 13:24,37-38a). The Lord of the harvest plants, buries, Christians as seeds in a field, which is the world.
Through the Husbandman’s patient and loving cultivation the grain of wheat high up on the stalk begins to fear being garnered alone, and hungers to bring forth “much fruit.” Here is God’s motivation for discipleship: that filial heart-hunger for fruit bearing. He finally pleads to be made fruitful at any cost, and then it is that he hears the Lord say, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit” (John 12:24). “Whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, and the gospel’s the same shall save it” (Mark 8:35). In loving response to this hunger the Holy Spirit silently and gently begins to loosen the grain from its comfortable bindings and supports in the ear. “When the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come” (Mark 4:29). As a result, sooner or later the grain of wheat finds itself, not high up on the stalk, but dropped to the earth, into the cold and strange darkness. And still worse, the earth smears and injures that nice shiny golden coat. Worst of all, the coat begins to disintegrate and fall to pieces. All that is not Christ, no matter how nice in appearance and profession, is revealed for what it is — just self.
