Had an amazing time doing studio work with Marcus "Black Mock" Haliburton this morning. I Love it when what you hear OUTSIDE....matches what you hear INSIDE! #FutureCityEntertainment #musicianslife #SaxFiles #gracenotesbyda (at Maryland, USA)

Off to jam at a friend's reunion right now, then another friend's wedding later! The life of a musician, my life, DA'z life.... never a dull moment! #God'sgrace #I'mcalledtothis #lovinit

A DA and Shade Lawrence Jenifer collaboration from 2001! This song has lyrics and speaks of how every bit of our sin...past, present, and future has been washed away by the Blood of Jesus Christ and our lives are without any trace of it. Simply GONE! Without A Trace! After receiving this song in a most unusual way, I described to Shade what I heard and he pinned the music down to a tee! Hope you enjoy the instrumental, you may hear more of this in the very near future!

This is B-Day Groove, a smooth tune put together as a nice alternative to the traditional Happy Birthday song. No sax has been added yet, BUT....its in the works!

COURAGE Starts Here!

Ever come to a place in your life where you find yourself standing on what seems to be the edge? You know the other side exists, but you can't see it for anything! The only thing you can think about is the possibility of an endless drop just a few inches in front of you. If you're anything like me you've told yourself, "There is no way God wants me to jump!" "He can't be serious! It's impossible; I can’t even see the other side!" So, there you stand… frozen, until a day becomes a week, then a month, then a year, and years have passed and you're still… on… the… edge! Well, after all this time I realize something, it isn't whether or not I have the faith to believe that God will catch me if I fall, but do I have the courage it takes when He tells me to jump! There are so many things God has put in my heart AND YOUR heart to do and to accomplish and I know I've been standing on my edge far too long. How about you? As for me, the tug-o-war between my faith and fear is over! It may not be pretty, but courage starts right here, right now!

OPPORTUNITY? Or Is It?

Opportunities are always, ALWAYS “forward-facing”! They are the rewards we encounter on the road of Preparation while pursuing our dreams! Rarely do they come when we are standing still; and they never come when regret has us looking or moving backwards. That only leads to an accident or a second chance at trouble, neither of which are good for us! So decide, is it really opportunity or just regret disguised as a second chance!!!!

The Basement is the Truth! No one down here except me, the walls and God! This the place where you realize you're absolutely NOTHING without God!!! Its down here where the cry is amplified, "God, I dont just wanna sound good! Let YOUR heart beat through the music, through the horn, through me. Keep strippin off the layers Heavenly Father....until YOUR love and YOUR grace is in EVERY note! May not ever be everything I want to be, but I've got to be everything YOU want me to be!!!! I won't quit! I'm gonna press even harder!

Just got my Instagram account straight! I'm hit'n all the sites, got big things planned ya'll! Courage starts right here! Right now!
