This podcast is piano instrumental music recorded in 30 minute sections where each note played is to bring glory, honor, and praises to "Him Who sits on the throne, and unto the Lamb". My prayer is that this music will inspire people worldwide to spend time in prayer and in fellowship with our Wonderful Creator. The original Music To Pray By album was recorded in 2002. Over 1,000 copies were given away all over the world. It was recorded via MIDI and was “cleaned up” rhythmically and musically. The audio used was a piano sample from a Roland FP-3 keyboard. Podcasts 1 – 48 were recorded raw using a Yamaha C2 acoustic grand piano in the dining room of our first home and a Roland R-09HR portable audio recorder so there are some background noises and mistakes, but they were kept to a minimum so that there wouldn’t be any distractions during prayer. Now, a Yamaha DC3M4 acoustic grand piano is used to record MIDI. The MIDI is then edited, played back, and recorded through the acoustic piano in my home studio. More details can be found at musictoprayby.com. My heart belongs to Jesus Christ and my desire is that every time I sit down at the piano and play, it is to an audience of One, but the audience of this podcast continues to grow beyond anything I had ever dreamed, and I thank each one of you for seeking out ways to draw near to God, and I pray this ministry continues to contribute and inspire you to continue seeking Him. God bless!

The last podcast to be recorded on my Yamaha DC3M4. It goes away tomorrow, and though it’s only been 4 years, I feel as though I have a tremendous amount of history with that wonderful piano. I actually had to pick and choose from about 2 hours worth of recordings since I’m not sure if the old format will be supported on the new piano. I’m truly excited about the capabilities and the sound of the new Yamaha DC7XE3Pro, but it’s also sad to see my old piano leave the studio. I’m sure it will end up in good hands!
About the podcast – it’s all original except the last song. I had to choose between two really good covers and ended up going with “Oceans” by Hillsong United. It is one of my favorite songs, and though I feel like I barely did the original justice, I hope to do another rendition in a future podcast. I did a lot of playing with this mix, which will likely change noticeably with the new piano. I wanted to make sure the last podcast from the DC3M4 was as good as it could possibly sound, and I think I accomplished that.
I have a number of things to share with you so I apologize in advance for all the non-music posts that are to come over the next week or so. I pray this podcast is a blessing to you.
