Description: One of my favorite originals about gratitude and true contentment.

Every month, the local Presbyterian Church hosts a community meal called Nite Lite where local churches take turns serving a homecooked meal to anyone who shows up. During the times our church has served the meal, I have provided live music for the attendees. This recording is from October 2023 and was recorded using the HiQ app on my phone. The set list featured a number of traditional gospel songs as well as some of my originals. Taylor Acoustic Guitar and Vocals. Enjoy! KMLS

Live at Nite Lite

One of my favorite originals about gratitude and true contentment.

Where Your Treasure Is

What A Friend We Have In Jesus

Traditional rendition of the folk gospel song.

Put Your Hand In The Hand

A couple of traditional gospel songs:
Just a Closer Walk Thee
Somebody Prayed for Me

Just a Closer Walk With Thee/Somebody Prayed for Me

Recorded live at Nite Lite. Written after a conversation with a musician who was not successful in Nashville, where we were bemoaning the rampant commercialization that often produces cookie cutter songs destined to be quickly forgotten. Meant to be played in the style of vintage Johnny Cash.

Asheville

Today we bury my father-in-law. I recorded this song many years ago and offer it here in honor of his life and passing. In life and in death, we belong to God.

When I Die

Let's call this a kind of Neo-Folk Trance Fusion.

I had a lot of fun working with this song. It was originally recorded on a Tascam 424 in my home studio in West Virginia in the mid to late 90s as a series of so far unreleased recordings with Peter Sabath that predated Belly Hymns. (I loved this particular song so much I used it as the theme song for my PeaceGrooves Podcast). This version was edited and produced on a MS Surface using Audacity and Acid Pro 7.  This is best listened to with headphones or your speakers cranked up to 11. Enjoy!

Who am I? I am folk-gospel-blues-influenced singer/songwriter. I have a decent voice, though I am not classically trained. I am a self-taught guitar and mandolin player though I don’t consider myself an expert at either. I do play a pretty mean blues harp (yep, self taught too). Over the years, I have collaborated with other artists more talented than me who inspire me and have made me a better musician.

Bad Boll Productions: named after the springs in Germany known for their healing properties(and a center for the Blumhardts was the name of my 1990s era cabin studio in the mountains of West Virginia. Using Performa on an Apple Mac with an EMU Orchestral Synth, a Tascam 424 4-Track, and various other instruments and equipment with a number of collaborators, I experimented with and produced several analog neo folk electronica compositions. Later I was able to digitize these directly from the 4 Track originals. Many of these compositions have never been released (probably a good thing for some:) 

The Belly Hymns Project: refers to the CD Belly Hymns released near the end of this era and so the Belly Hymns Project is the landing place for the songs that predate Belly Hymns as well as remixes of the songs on Belly Hymns as well as newer related work. When she was pregnant with me, my mama says that I danced in her womb in time to the hymns at church. That’s probably where the name comes from. I’m still learning to keep letting the music move me.

The Lost Gap: is the current manifestation of Jeremiahs Run, my American Roots band from the 90s. Lost Gap, Miss. is my hometown. (theLostGap.com)

peacegroover: is my nom de artist for all things electronica. From those early Bad Boll days to now, I continue to be amazed at the melodic possibilities. 

I welcome your thoughts and insights. Let’s build something beautiful. KMLS
