A Song of Praise

Hello Music Friends,

I sent this video to my buddy to get his opinion and his response was: "Man, you need to wash our dishes and clean your kitchen before you make anymore videos." Anyway............here is "More Than Anything" by Lamar Campbell.

International Day Festival at a Local Elementary School

Hello Music Friends

Today I spent the day teaching elementary school students the joys of the steel pan. I must say that they were a very attentive, intelligent lively group. In addition to teaching them the origin of the instrument and how they are built, I gave them a chance to play my drum. Their excitement level really rose as they played along to a reggae accompaniment track. I gave them a choice of 4 notes that were in the proper key of the song and then told them to play whatever the felt.  Their eyes lit up in amazement by the beautiful sound of the pan and the fact that they were creating sound in real-time. Its my hope that these experiences shape their self confidence and their appreciation of music in general.

I Belong To You- William Mc Dowell-Instrumental Cover by Minsky Delmonte

Hello Music Friends

This is my latest video performance. I'm a fan of gospel singer William McDowell's music and ministered "I Belong To You" to my church congregation. In addition to a successful offering I had discovered an awesome piano backing track by a Toronto based pianist who goes by the name of Dappy T Keys. I've played along to backing tracks on several occasions but I personally feel that the combination of his piano and my steel drum produced a tone that was conducive to reflection, prayer and praise. I hope to contact him and schedule a recording session with him as his music inspires me.

Praise and Worship Music for New Years Eve 2014

Hello Music Friends,

Happy New Year to all of you? I was thrilled to bring in the New Year sharing songs of Praise and Worship. As part of a line up of Christian artists I  had  the chance to play "Lord I Lift Your Name on High". This song was written by Rick Founds and has been covered by many others including Dan Moen, Donnie Mc Clurkin, Petra, Minsky Delmonte and the Maranantha Singers. This particular arrangement was featured on saxophonist Sam Levine's album.

Be Sure to take a listen share and comment.
