A Few of My Favorite Things

  • Favorite Team: University of Tennessee Volunteers. Go Big Orange!
  • Favorite Book: Thr3e, by Ted Dekker
  • Favorite Musical Style: Anything that’s built around a great song, but if I had to choose, it would probably be a tie between contemporary black gospel (songs with a lot of choir participation), country, and rock.
  • Favorite Musical Groups: Brad Paisley (and not just because he was at Belmont at the same time as I was), Tower of Power, John P. Kee, and Steven Curtis Chapman. There are a lot of others. Again, it’s mostly about the song, except with Tower of Power, where it’s mostly about the horns.
  • Favorite Albums: Spilt Milk. Think the Beatles meet Queen. Well-crafted, quirky lyrics all wrapped up in a nice, melodic package and peppered with interesting musical events all happening at the same time. Not a bad (or even mediocre) song on the entire album. It’s by a group named Jellyfish. Then, Speechless, by Steven Curtis Chapman and anything by Brad Paisley.
  • Favorite Song: Lord of the Dance, by Steven Curtis Chapman. Quite possibly the best song ever written. The iTunes sample doesn’t get to the hook, which is the best part. Just buy the thing — you won’t be disappointed.
  • Favorite Movie: From the Hip, A Few Good Men, The Rock.
  • Favorite Quotes: See a full post of them here (under construction).
