This contest is simple. Take a pic of your home studio/recording/practice setup and submit it via the form below. I’ll collect peoples submissions over the next few weeks and compile the top 10 or so and throw a little contest. Everyone will get a chance to vote to choose who’s they like best. The winner gets an Amazon Gift Certificate for $21.84 , yes, 21 dollars and 84 cents. But it’s not about the money kids, it’s more about sharing each other’s setups and getting ideas on what works well.

In your submission include a note about the specifics of your setup. Please feel free to tweet this and pass along to friends whom you know have a home studio. It doesn’t even have to be a recording studio, maybe it’s just your practice area on a porch over looking the ocean, that might win just off the scenery.

OK let’s get started!

My dear friend Mark Rohl took some incredible shots last week of Our Rising Sound leading worship at Life Connection Church this past Sunday and I wanted to share them with you. You’d be wise to hire Mark for any of your photography needs, hit em up on Facebook or Twitter.

Calvin would NOT be proud of this.

Here I am in my studio layin down some nasty loops, the paper bag has built in headphones and mic, so that’s pretty handy.

I was asked recently what one thing I would thank God for, other than his Son, when we meet in heaven. My answer was grace. Because of it I’ve received all things and my family is the most precious, beautiful evidence of it. Thank you God for your grace that has given me my family. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Excuse my hair

I can tell by the look on Jesus’ face he’s struggling to find the appropriate time to introduce the theramin into the arrangement the angels are singing around his throne. Wish I could help you out Jesus but I still don’t get that instrument, it’s like a magical toy still to me.

Jesus trying to remember why he created this instrument.

My dear brother, for reasons unknown to the free world, used to put this sort of underwear and sock helmet on my head as a baby. It looked funny and apparently I didn’t mind. Little did I know how much of a root this would take in my life. I have now passed it on to my son. Pictures don’t lie.

Not the full head gear but close

Now my son enjoys the full headgear

Dads is there anything you do to your son that an older brother or your own father did to you? And maybe my bro will come out from the woodwork and explain how this headgear came to be.
