I know some people might want to avoid the "Christian Music" label (and especially CCM). but if the content of your product is mostly songs about faith, why not say so? I think it's slightly different if you're a Christian musician your songs arent about anything in particular.<BR/><BR/>perhaps this stems from my desire to find more music that is in the vein of Indelible Grace, as I do music for our church sometimes (and I'm very thankful for your work, by the way). it's a little harder to find what's out there if it's not labeled.

When interviewing for a job, do you mention Jesus on your resume? Is it strange that you don't? Would it even be appropriate?<BR/><BR/>This touches on the issue of how we in American Christianity seem to treat artists' jobs as different from other professions. Is it a job or a ministry? If it's a ministry, are the artists ministers? I might blog about this sometime.Matthew Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07697745208123494294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7975968.post-1141744620238035142006-03-07T07:17:00.000-08:002006-03-07T07:17:00.000-08:00nice. sorry I missed the show. I've recently discovered a bunch of these artists, and I'm looking forward to hearing more.<BR/><BR/>one thing that I wonder about is why there is no mention of faith or Jesus or Christianity at all in the description of SPA (on the myspace site)? as far as I can tell, those folks share a common faith, right? and lots of the songs are about that faith? why not say so?<BR/><BR/>I dont mean to be contrary or too argumentative, but it just made me wonder.bobwhttp://bob.chattablogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7975968.post-1141571619754259372006-03-05T07:13:00.000-08:002006-03-05T07:13:00.000-08:00(I write music for hymn texts written by long-dead people.)Matthew Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07697745208123494294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7975968.post-1141524217189213952006-03-04T18:03:00.000-08:002006-03-04T18:03:00.000-08:00Matthew, you know we can't let a comment like "collaborate with dead people" slide by without an explanation....what's that about?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
