Happy New Year!
Yup, it’s been that long since I’ve written in my blog… but for good reason…
You’ll probably remember I promised I’d go on vacation after the launch of my latest 12-disc “Musician Transformation” & Gospel Music Training Center launch in December 2009 (which sold out, btw).

If you’ve been following my last two videos, I’ve been talking about a big project I’m working on.
All I’ll say here is that the new project has a lot to do with learning songs.

However, in addition to the [...]
