Home Studio
02.04.08
I think I recorded my first tape in 1994 while pastoring in Indiana. I ran RCA cables from my Mark V digital keyboard right into the aux input on an old Radioshack boombox. I actually sold some of those and people still tell me they listen to them. Then I recorded my second tape on a Tascam Portastudio while we lived in a mobile home in Ohio. I’ve recorded in a professional studio and at live events. One time I even rented an empty house to find a place that was quiet, but this is my favorite spot. This is my office at home where I do most of my recordings now. At least until somebody offers to produce a professional recording. (hint, hint)
I was just thinking, my headphones cost more than the boom box I used for my first recording. These are the headphones our dog, Raisin, initiated. It took me quite a while to find the right replacement from Beyerdynamic for the cord he chewed through. A few weeks, 20 bucks and a little solder and we’re good as new.
Welcome to the home studio. If I hold my face right, the church will finish the office wing addition with our new offices this year, and I’m really looking forward to that. Of course, you know what they say. “There’s no place like home.”
We recently went to CEF in Warrenton, MO to work on their mail, we stopped in IN and visited with friends of ours. They are the Klewickis. I was telling them about our new Pastor Pierpont and Sarah remembered you were there in Chillicothe, OH when they were there. So, Hi from the Klewickis! May God bless your music.
I go to your brother’s church in Taylor.
Just yesterday I was sorting through some things and saw some pictures from Calvary Baptist, including one of John. It was neat to be reminded of the friendships that blessed our lives as we were getting starting in the ministry. Thanks for the note. Nathan
I TRIED TO COMMENT ON THE ARTICLE YOU WROTE ABOUT DAD AND ME…
THANK YOU THAT WAS SWEET…
PRAYING MUCH FOR YOUR PRECIOUS MINISTRY AND FUTURE AS YOU CONTINUE TO SEEK TO HONOR THE LORD WITH YOUR MUSIC AND EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE.

Nathan, I loved your “Underneath the Stars Tonight.” This is my favorite style from you, though, I suppose, others may prefer another. It just brings out such full-bodied expression. Of course I am saying this from the point of view of a lay-person, with no real knowledge of what I am talking about. Nevertheless, I lived it very much. Keep up the good work. -Love, Dad
