Day After Day

Known to family and old friends as “Andy,” he prefers his Christian name. Andrew received the Master of Education in arts instruction from Doane University in Lincoln, Nebraska, holds the Bachelor of Fine Arts in studio and graphic arts, and is a Bachelor of Arts in biblical literature, a lifelong Bible student and Christian disciple. Tonsured in the Eastern Orthodox Church a reader (anagnostis, or lector), he has written several hymns and served periodically as psaltis (cantor), small choir ensemble director, choir member, and worship leader in Orthodox, evangelical, and Anglican churches going on four decades. He began writing several religious poems and hymns in 1997 in the midst of an existential quest from his Baptist upbringing to the liturgical traditions of the ancient Christian faith. His interests in a variety of musical styles and periods, and his love of ethnic and indigenous cultural music expressions gives him a unique perspective on music, particularly as used in the American churches and pop culture of his own checkered story. He is an amateur autodidact who prefers assistance from trained or fellow amateur musicians. He resides in Massachusetts and is father of two adult children.
