Performed one song, written by Johnny Cash.
1. Redemption (Cash)
I regard this song as one of Cash’s finest recordings. I first heard it, watching this broadcast from a Billy Graham crusade.

Rock on the Mount was an annual festival that supported various non-profit organizations. The inaugural event featured artists mostly performing for the first time. It was a small intimate affair. Over the years, Rock in the Mount would grow steadily. I began writing music in 2006, so this was my musical debut.

Easter Sunrise Service – April 15, 2001
This may have been the first shared service of Mountain Bible Church and Christ Child Catholic Church, a tradition that continued until the days of Covid. I sang Johnny Cash’s Redemption. At the time, I did not play guitar, so Don Strand accompanied me. Later, I would learn the song on guitar.
In 2012, I recorded a version in Central African Republic:
