Out of the Ashes
"Out of the Ashes" is a musical tribute I was inspired to write as a result of the heroism that was birthed in our nation after the events of Sept. 11th, 2001.
The song was first performed at the “Call for Unity” event held in Sacramento, California on the first anniversary of 9/11 where leaders and congregants of many faith traditions came together to join hearts, voices and intentions for peace.
The lyrics of “Out of the Ashes” are a celebration of the kindness, compassion and service that swept our country after the horrible events that brought the twin towers down.
On this recording, back up is provided by the dedicated musicians of Spiritual Life Center in Sacramento, CA.
If you'd like to sing the lead yourself, the CD also provides an instrumental background track.
God Is
“God Is” was produced by the team at Spiritual Life Center in Sacramento, CA and “Love Alive” features the team at Living Enrichment Center in Wilsonville, Oregon. Richard appears on both CD’s as a vocalist and pianist. These CD’s are compilations and feature some of the dynamic vocalists/instrumentalists that Richard worked with while in those ministries.
Beam Me Up
"Beam me Up" was Richard's foray into his career as a spiritual musician. It is full of beautifully inspiring songs such as "Listen to the Children" and "Love Lives Here" as well as rousing upbeat numbers such as "Little Country Church" and "Give It Up to God".
The CD features a variety of styles, instruments and textures and each song is designed to motivate the listener into a deeper realization of their connection to Spirit as they are "Beamed up to places where no man has gone before!"
