11. Worship Teams Facilitator-Council Road Baptist Church 2000-2003
12. Songwriter of Scripture Songs-in approximately 2002 I started feeling that this was something I should be doing and I did do a bunch of these for my family…but about every 6 months I feel a strong pull to organize this and do a group of songs that follow the same theme, get some accompaniment behind them and disperse them to people who might like to memorize scripture in this way.
If I were to really decide to do it, I would want to get a lot more stuff on there musically and produce it in a really professional way. My motivation, time and opportunity just haven’t met up at the same time yet. It is on my list of 101 Things to Get Done in 1001 Days, though, so I hope to do it in the next couple of years… (BTW...this site is still a list in progress...I don't even have my 101 things listed...just a few. But it has helped me to stay motivated to get somethings done.)
13. Grafted In- We started our band in late 2002, I think. Recorded some original songs (not country), but did not make a formal CD.
Then, through a series of events, we decided to add some people and do gospel music. Now we have 2 CDs (click the red), and we sing at Swadley’s BBQ on the 2nd and 4th Saturday nights most months. We also sing churches and anywhere else that wants us to play gospel music.
There it is! My illustrious musical career (for the most part). Guess I won't quit my day job:-)

This is me, jealous that you have 2 CDS. :) I tried to be a songwriter in Nashville, but alas, never got my break.
Wow! You've done a lot! I'm going to check out the link to the CDs, too. And I didn't know Carmen was a songwriter, either! The things I learn about my fellow bloggers on Thursday... ;)
Congratulations!
That is very cool..
My TT is up
Sounds great! Congrats--I'm so impressed. :)
Wow...! I wishI could sing better. ;-)
I do love to listen to my gospel choir, I will have to see about getting your CD's.

Surprised you have time for a day job.
What a variety of experiences.
My own TT is up.
Take care,

I think it's awesome that you've done so much! Do you ever consider doing more musical theatre? I don't even like Country music, but I've been tempted to buy your CD. One of these days, perhaps?
Wow, you are quite accomplished. :) Two cds as well. That's wonderful. Good luck to you if you do try to turn this into more of a career.
Thank you for your wonderful comment on my 13 today. I appreciate your kind words.
Will be checking on the CDs later. Let me get me over my T13 first. Just posted as blogger wouldn't allow me yesterday.
My T13 is finally up. Have a peek and make sure you're in your festive mood.
You've definitely done a lot. That's a pretty impressive list!
Nice list!
Wow can't believe you've done so much. i'm gonna have to check out your CDs! Thanks for stopping by my site today, btw.
You forgot to mention that besides playing the piano.... you play a mean washboard :)
Very nice! It sounds like you've had a lot of great performances in your career!
That is quite an acomplishment!
Happy TT

Wow, so talented! I love singing but I'm in the joyful noise category!
Hey, when are we going to do a vocal/bass duet?
Opera is sooooo cool. Carmen is my favorite. We could do the highlights for the offertory!!!
I might do my 13 memorable gigs with celebs next week.
