http://diversity-sam.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 26, 2012. Christmas Time Is Here. Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone, I hope everyone had a blessed time with Family and friends. Between now and Christmas I plan to post some of my favorite Christmas tunes. Some will be familiar to you, some will not, so I hope you hear something you like. I want to start off with the great Russ Taff, from his "Sinatra" inspired Christmas cd, "A Christmas Song." (1992). Wednesday, November 7, 2012. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, i...

Wednesday, December 12, 2012. Around the turn of the century (this one) Crystal Lewis released her Holiday CD, a collection of Christmas standards that was a throwback to the jazzy Christmas albums of yore.

http://diversity-sam.blogspot.com/2013/01/albums-you-may-have-missed-first-time.html
Wednesday, January 9, 2013. Albums you may have missed the first time around (but really need to hear,) Part 1. Zilch - Platinum (Gotee Records, 1997). Starting life as DC Talk's touring band, the band featured Mark Townsend (guitars, vocals,) Otto Price (Bass, Vocals) and Jason Halbert (keyboards, vocals.) All three went on to become producers, with Townsend being particularly well known. Info: http:/ www.jesusfreakhideout.com/jfhblog/template permalink.asp? May 24, 2013 at 12:53 PM.

Musical Diversity: JAG
http://diversity-sam.blogspot.com/2013/06/jag.html
Saturday, June 1, 2013. What really stands out on these albums is Garies heartfelt vocals. "Smile Minded," "Father Forever" and a very different version of Whiteheart's "Even The Hardest Heart," all from the debut, are heart breaking and comforting at the same time. Mostly quite mellow stuff, when the band did veer into hard rock territory, Garies was capable of pulling that off as well. John Garies passed away in 2007 due to complications of Liver disease. He was 55 years old. View my complete profile.

Musical Diversity: December 2012
http://diversity-sam.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 18, 2012. Let's face it, some Christmas Carols are rooted in tradition rather than theological accuracy. Scripture says nothing about there being only three wise men, the herald angels didn't sing, it's quite doubtful that the nativity was silent, ("No crying He makes? Wednesday, December 12, 2012. Friday, December 7, 2012. Tuesday, December 4, 2012. Christmastime is here.2. From his 1993 album "Christmas", here's Bruce Cockburn with my favorite Christmas tune of all time. (If anyon...

Friday, August 17, 2012. Mark Heard: 12/16/1951 - 8/16/1992. Twenty years ago August 16th, one of the greatest songwriters who ever lived was lost to the world. I've already posted a blog about Mark (here: http:/ diversity-sam.blogspot.com/2011/02/mark-heard-enigma-in-christian-music.html. So I won't repeat myself. I just wanted to post something in his memory. Rest in peace, Mark. Treasure Of The Broken Land was the last song on the last album Mark ever released. Somewhat prophetic, I think. Between 198...

Friday, April 27, 2012. Often heard but seldom recognized, Tom Howard was an important figure in the development of modern Christian music. He was one of Larry Norman's brilliant Solid Rock artists in the late 1970's, along with Randy Stonehill and Mark Heard, and after the dissolution of Solid Rock, he helped Daniel Amos (another Solid Rock act) form the Alarma!
