Here I am with fellow Grammy team members for the Gospel/Grammy committee. Too many to list, but includes the President of Sparrow/EMI, Verity Records, Rocketown, BMG Direct, Gotee and Cornerstone Festival.

Why do we still look so happy after sitting at a table meeting for 9 hours straight?

We lodged and held our meetings at the Beverly Hilton Hotel owned by grand poo-pah of daytime talk...Merv Griffith!

This is also where they hold the Golden Globes every year.

While out in Los Angeles I took a little time to play on the new DAS (Brian Healy) record. Here I am with engineer,co-producer Jeff Elbel.

Me and my pal Brian Healy at Jeff's studio.

I took a trip over to the coast. Out in the background at sea you can make out the cargo ships that have been stacking up outside LA county harbors. I think it is some kind of strike going on. In the foreground are a bunch of surfers braving the chilly waters.

Can't leave California without a picture of palm trees and clear skies!!!

Me and Wayside, CCM, Cornerstone etc. pal John Thompson at Barney's Beanery in LA. This is the restaurant back in the 80s where we ran into Bono and The Edge of U2. Derri was brave enough to go up to them and give them a CD of Chase The Kangaroo!
