Proud dad alert. 🙂 This video of the week is a euphonium improvisation that my son, Michael Fahrner, played this morning at church: [youtube=https://youtu.be/DEqCrXld8uo&rel=0&w=512]

Christmas Album “Must Haves” (2015 Version)
I seem to do this post later and later each holiday season…but I did start listening to Christmas music earlier in 2015! 🙂 Either way, here is my annual “Christmas Album ‘Must Haves.’” Year-to-year it doesn’t vary much, but I’ve added a few, reorganized a bit, and made sure the links are up-to-date. Also, everything I mention here…
Video of the Week
This Video of this Week, “Hand of Jesus” is a brand new track…as in “released yesterday” from David Britt. I am hoping this means in 2016 David will be releasing a Christian CD of EP. 🙂 This song reminds me of a sermon I gave a while back called “The Hand of God.” Punch line…
Are You Ready to Fly?
Lynyrd Skynyrd may seem a bit odd for a Christian site’s “video of the week,” but give this a listen and you’ll see why. [youtube=https://youtu.be/Vl_bU776Gyk&rel=0&w=512]
Christmas Album “Must Haves” (2014 Version)
Another Thanksgiving has past, which means I can openly listen to Christmas music again! Time now for my yearly list of Christmas album “must haves”…which is alway last year’s with some tweaks. I mean, you don’t honestly expect my taste in Christmas music to change drastically year-to-year do you?! 🙂 Now…before I unveil this year’s…
Cloverton’s “Hallelujah”
I am a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas music, but I am very proud to break that habit with the addition of five songs by Cloverton to the Countdown2.Christmas Radio playlist. I’m sure a lot of it is Lance Stafford’s unique voice, but I can’t say enough about how the whole band takes Christmas…
Video of the Week
Okay, I know I haven’t been doing these weekly…and that it’s a bit early for this one…but boy do I love it when Mark Lowry and the Gaither Vocal Band sing “Mary Did You Know?”… [youtube=http://youtu.be/iseLqbcqGOg&w=512&rel=0]
Video of the Week
Okay, so I haven’t been keeping up so that it is the “Video of the Week”…more like the “Video of the Three Weeks.” 🙂 But, I’ll get better…especially if you share your suggestions with me! 🙂 This week, an acoustic video from a new band I discovered this week, Unspoken: [youtube=http://youtu.be/to3p-zgOCXU&w=512&rel=0] And a bonus lyric…
Welcome to the Body of Christ Chris (of Black Stone Cherry)!
Soon after becoming a teenager music became a combination of an inspiration and an addiction for me, and within the last few years I ran into a great band called Black Stone Cherry. They quickly became one of my favorite groups. Of course, Jesus is even more important than music, no matter how loud and…
A Johnny Cash Christmas
Well, after that last post you deserve something back in the right spirit… [youtube=http://youtu.be/jHuFslG6JAQ&w=512&rel=0] Hat tip to Ace of Spades HQ. Merry Christmas!
12 Days of Christmas Mashed-Up
Not a religious Christmas music performance, but entertaining… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fe11OlMiz8&w=512&rel=0] Hat tip Hot Air. Happy Christmas Eve everyone!
Christmas Album “Must Haves” (2013 Version)
One of the things I love most about Thanksgiving is that I can stop being clandestine about playing Christmas music. 🙂 This year’s list is pretty much last year’s list because, sadly, no new Christmas albums came out in 2013 that interested me greatly. However, this has become an annual list…and I’ll sneak in a…
Greg Thornburg Playing “Carol of Bells”
I had the honor of working with this guy…and always thought of him as a drummer…but… [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/122818036″ params=”color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=true” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]
Christmas Album “Must Haves” (2012 Version)
My list of Christmas album “must haves” are pretty much the same as last year. Let’s just say that…err…being under-employed means Ramen Noodles are a better purchase with a few bucks then even the most inexpensive Amazon MP3 download…although I have convinced my wife to at least let me spend a couple dollars. 🙂 First,…
Christmas Album “Must Haves” (2011 Version)
Okay…I really should be working on my sermon, but I figured I’d list my “must have” Christmas albums and songs (almost all available on Amazon MP3)…in no specific order: “Christmastime” by Michael W. Smith “Christmas Portrait” by The Carpenters “The Christmas Song” by Nat King Cole “Christmas Classics” by Bing Crosby (includes “Peace on Earth/Little…
