Blessings to you as we come to a very special time of year.</strong></p>

<p><strong style="color: #e3d491;"> The events of each day bring inspiration for new songs, songs about life, aging, the loss of loved ones, and especially about hope. We are inspired to dig deep within. 2016 was a year of sorrow and deep contemplation. When those you love suffer from cancer, loss of memory, and the hard knocks of life, one has to ask the question, "What am I doing that makes life truly meaningful?" Also whispered, "Do I share purpose and love?" The pallet is full of colorful notes, stay tuned!</strong></p>

<p><strong style="color: #e3d491;"><strong>December 29, 2015: With all the turmoil in the world, music, good music, has a special place. It is therapy for the soul. I was overjoyed to share some of our music at several mini concerts in the valley. It was a blessing for me to see eyes light up and faces begin to shine with hope. If you have an opportunity to share some love this season, please do so. Christmas is really about love, not things. People need to know that they are worthwhile. So, be a blessing, and receive a blessing!</strong></strong></p>

So many are in need of assurance that there is hope for their lives. As listeners open up and share, it is a joy to tell them that our Heavenly Father cares. How do we know? It is the reality of answered prayers in our lives, and it is the peace that He gives when we are troubled. Read your Bibles and claim its promises. There is hope for you! </p>

That is how we felt about our concert in Portland. We had so many obstacles getting in the way to even going. In the previous few weeks, our truck had broken down so many times that it seemed almost impossible that we would be able to go. But, as with all divine intervention, we had people help us to res<span>olve our truck issues without taking it to FORD. One individual even came up to our mountain to to do a repair. It was amazing! We made it to the concert without a breakdown, and we made it home. What made the concert special was those in attendance. So many said that a certain song met them where they were at that moment in life. Praise God! We will come to Lents again in the spring, so till next time, we will continue to pray for the needs of those that shared with us! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!</span></span></strong></div>

Over 700 bird lovers showed up. We provided "Music to Watch Birds by." It was great acoustic music! Those who could not come missed out. David sang some thought -provoking vocals. So many told us how much they appreciated the music. We were glowing with that deep satisfaction that only comes when people let you know that they were blessed. We have been asked to come share again next year! So plan for it. The hike to see the raptors on Chelan Ridge was a blast!

What did Rick McMillen think of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Away from Rush</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hour</span>? He said,"It is a work of art. The music is beautiful. I don't get the privilege of mastering this quality of music very often. David, you are a fabulous musician, composer and audio engineer. This music will help make the world a better place. I'm not just saying this. I am saying it because it's true." For those of you who don't know, Rick has mastered music for Kenny G, Michael Allen Harrison, Michael W. Smith, and other well known musicians. What is mastering? It is a process of making sure that the album will play well on any kind of audio equipment, both on a car stereo or on a world class sound system. It is always good to have a second gifted ear listen to what you have worked on so arduously. Rick loved what he heard.<br></strong></span></span></p>

Boni signed the words to "Oh, Holy Night," so those who were deaf could understand the amazing message found in the lyrics. Her visual image was a painting in itself. What would it be like to be deaf and miss out on the voice of the violin, the singer, the birds, even the sound of waves crashing upon the shoreline? I could only try to imagine a silent world. What of Helen Keller, who could neither hear nor see? The simple gifts are the ones that we so often forget to acknowledge. Thank you, God, this Christmas, for the simple, yet amazing gifts You give us everyday!</span></span></p>davidshearermusic.comtag:davidshearermusic.com,2005:Post/59744272011-12-16T12:00:00-12:002022-05-18T10:19:19-12:00The wonder of it all...<h2><span class="news_title"> </span></h2>

<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392818/758ec296423f1db3697f20d5fd707bb7757ece69/original/david-s-email-jpg.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6NjAweDMwMCJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="David email" height="300" style="vertical-align: top;" width="600" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>For almost two years</strong></span>, David has</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> been working on a new album. He felt impressed to reach out to everyday people to draw them to a quieter sphere in life. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Away from Rush Hour</span> is a result of that driving desire to create a musical experience that would do just that. Micah and Joel contributed a little spice to make this adventure extra special. Those who know of this project ask with anticipation, “Is it done yet?”</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Some of you may not know what it takes to create an album. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">It is much more than walking into David's studio and, BOOM, laying it down. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Away from Rush Hour</span> is a labor of LOVE. It took Heaven's gift to begin with in composing, in playing, and in recording.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In Micah's case, it took the gift of artistically photographing images to portray the moods of each piece. <span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">For him, it was also waiting for that perfect moment in time as he worked against weather conditions. Musically, he was working with an antique violin bow's fragile horse hairs as they crossed strings for which the bow was not intended. <br></span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Compositionally, David had to look deep within himself to his creative core on one occasion and then, on the next, he had to take what spontaneously came to him in a moment of inspiration. Sometimes, I had to pull him away from his studio for nourishment or sleep to become the priority. Having to work at his day jobs and still have the energy to record was a real issue. When fatigue was overwhelming, he had to put the album off until he felt ready. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In Joel's case, LOVE took him on a detour as his head was "in the clouds." Then, we simply had to pray that he would lay down a track...<br></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Did you know that weather played a huge part in the way audio waves moved and musical instruments behaved? It's true. One day, the barometric pressure and humidity would be high, and the next, low, so much so that recording sessions at 3,150 feet were hampered and not possible. The conditions had to match the previous session in order to complete a piece. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Then, there was David's perfection in placing microphones and the performers in the best positions. Years of working with audio enriched David's gift. The music had to flow perfectly through the mics. In addition, he had to hear the harmonies, and layer tracks. Also, he had to work with his audio workstation and various programs until he liked what he mixed down. Yes, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Away from Rush Hour</span> has required endurance.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Have patience, dear friends, as we prepare for our faith-driven replication. The CD booklet has 24 pages of amazing photographs to interpret the music. We are almost there!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">We trust that God will supply us with the funds needed to replicate <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Away from Rush Hour</span>.<br></span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #000000;"> <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #999999;">We were out shooting for the new album's CD insert. What a gorgeous fall day! The air was crispy, and the cold breeze let us know that we were definitely alive. All around the leaves were falling. Above us, Mount David was scalloped by its first snows. As we were carrying our six-string dulcimer, Indian flute, and guitar, three men came upon us. One inquired, " I just have to ask. What are you doing, anyway?" We told them about our album. They begged for an demo, and David obliged. "Wow," they exclaimed. "That was great. We will just have to buy it. The music makes us unwind. This is just what we needed." The men told us that they were from different walks of life and were attending a family life retreat. They spoke of concern for their children's lives in a crazy world. They knew that they needed to help their families make sense of life. They took David's business card and told us that they would have special prayer for us at the campfire that afternoon. What affirmation from God that we need to be doing this project. What a delight to give them a feeling of peace through music! </span></span></span></span></p>davidshearermusic.comtag:davidshearermusic.com,2005:Post/59744522011-10-15T12:00:00-12:002022-05-26T22:18:35-12:00Joel and Raena Marry<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #999999;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392818/faa8398b593847e55d67526eef9d17131c83f385/original/330138-171999282889142-125128317576239-374995-411981783-o.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6OTUweDYzMiJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="330138_171999282889142_125128317576239_374995_411981783_o.jpg" height="632" style="vertical-align: top;" width="950" /></span></span></p>

God has blessed Joel with a wonderful wife!</span></span></span></p>davidshearermusic.comtag:davidshearermusic.com,2005:Post/59744502011-09-23T12:00:00-12:002022-05-22T21:40:35-12:00Ready to Master!<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #999999;">Hey everyone, we are almost there. Now to finish the CD card layout. Snagging Joel for the photo shoot is like trying to catch the wind! He and Raena are getting married, so with all the wedding planning, etc, Joel is almost unavailable. But, regardless, the album should be out by the end of October. We will just have to catch him at the wedding, if nowhere else.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #999999;">Our vocal album will be hot on the heals of this release, so stay tuned! Thank you for all the patience and support that we are receiving for this venture.</span></span></p>

We are just about finished. With all sorts of delays, including the latest--my computer power supply burning out my mother board, we are finally seeing the reality of this newest project's completion. Now the CD jacket and mastering are all that we have to do. I know that this instrumental album will be enjoyed for its diversity of imagery. The beauty of nature portrayed through music and the human spirit as it experiences all of life's moments will meet you in this endeavor. I thank the Lord for helping us to soar to the finish line.</span></span></p>

My sons and I have almost finished our collaboration of musical talents. Fitting work schedules and young ladies into the picture has been quite the challenge, especially where Joel is concerned. Alas, we can visualize the finish line. God is so good! At every turn, we have met obstacles, but God is stronger than all the trials that come along in life. We look forward to sharing this latest work with all of you.</span></span></p>davidshearermusic.comtag:davidshearermusic.com,2005:Post/59744472011-01-27T12:00:00-12:002011-12-06T04:22:37-12:00album progress<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #999999;">I am currently half-way to the finish line on the first album. This album is very organic in nature with textures of sound designed to help listeners unwind from their stressful lives. Just working on these new compositions has been therapeutic for my entire family. Sometimes, life is too much in the fast lane. One of my goals for 2011 is to make everyday have a few moments of quiet reflection in the morning and evening on the blessing of our Creator and in those moments to consider how I can best serve our Heavenly Father.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #999999;">Don't you feel that it is more than time for all of us to focus on what is most important in life? I do!</span></span></p>

It was amazing to see how small groups can be so caring and connected. I played "Shepherd Boy."

I have prayerfully chosen the song, "Judas and Mary" by Bonnie Letcher Casey. During these trying times, I find the message very fitting. Today, Christ would have us care for those in need as if they were the very body of Christ.</span></span></p>davidshearermusic.comtag:davidshearermusic.com,2005:Post/59744432009-01-16T12:00:00-12:002022-05-25T04:20:40-12:00A Deeper Thread in Music<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #999999;">As time progresses, I am convicted that there needs to be a deeper thread of truth in music today. I am speaking of a thread that bonds the singer and listeners more fully to Christ. A wise old man once said, "We are the world's Bible." My prayer is that Christ will be fully reflected in my famliy's music such that a desire for Christ within will pour forth from the soul.--David</span></span></p>davidshearermusic.comtag:davidshearermusic.com,2005:Post/59744422009-01-16T12:00:00-12:002022-04-25T05:09:54-12:00Singing EngagementSaturday, January 24, 2009, I will be singing special music for the church service at the Wenatchee SDA Church in Wenatchee, WA.
