Songwriting Retreat on Keith Green’s Piano…

– February 6, 2009Posted in:

Photo edited

Hi friends,

I had a great time working on songs in Kansas City the past week. Here is a photo of me working on new material, and just having a great time worshiping! I can’t wait for you to hear these new tunes :-)

A big thank you to me dear friend Melody Green for letting me use her songwriting studio, and play Keith Green’s old piano (in the photo above). It’s certainly an inspiring place to write!

Check out Melody’s new website here and if you don’t already have the newly updated version of her book “No Compromise”, go get the latest edition as it has brand new photos, stories and material!

I’m loving my new songs and really looking forward to getting stuck into recording them soon. You’ve already heard a few snippets on Myspace…. One is called “Breath of God” based on Ezekiel 37 about the valley of dry bones…. And another one that we have put on Myspace a few times is “Refuge” based on Isaiah 43 (when you walk through the waters, when you walk through the fire…etc). I want to combine really Biblical lyrics with great melody and music.. I love His Word and having studied all those years at Oxford I long to see people fall in love with the Bible…. setting it to great music seems to be the best way for that to happen to our iPod carrying, MTV generation!

I also just got ProTools LE and am trying to learn how to do better guitar/vocal demos. I bought “ProTools For Dummies” at Barnes and Noble… I think that book will be $20 well spent!

More photos and updates from songwriting to come soon…

For all you songwriters reading this, or anyone creative,

“what do you do to inspire you in your writing? (or whatever your creative craft is)… Do you find certain things really help you get inspired?”

Love,

Vicky

Hi there,

Just heard from Melody Green that the new Last Days Ministries website has been launched…. You can check it out at: http://www.lastdaysministries.org/

There is a new version of Keith’s “No Compromise” book – new photos and stories… it just came out in the past few months. So you can get hold of that at a discounted price, and see cool articles and photos there!

Melody also has started a Blog here…. Check it out – and see a photo of me and Mel when we last hung out here in San Diego…Fun times :-)

Ok, I’m off to do some christmas shopping…. talk to you soon!

“How is your Christmas shopping going? And how do you balance the joy of giving gifts, but without buying into the commercialism?”

Friendship & Earl Grey Tea!

– September 17, 2008Posted in:

Hi friends!

I had a wonderful day today with my dear friend Melody Green.

She was visiting California, so she came down to San Diego and we went out for lunch overlooking the ocean. She loves British tea, so after lunch we went out for some of our favorite tea – Earl Grey!

Tonight we are sitting on our Mac laptops working on our Blogs – she and I are both big fans of laptops and getting online, so we are having a great evening here downloading photos, surfing the net and chatting about what God is doing in our lives!

Melody is working on a new version of her website dedicated to the music and legacy of her late husband Keith Green. I’ll let you know when that’s up and running. She’s going to have Question and Answer blogs where you can write in with questions and she’ll answer them personally. Cool hey?!

Have you guys been inspired or influenced by Keith’s musical legacy? If so it would be cool to hear your stories….

Love,

Vicky
