Tuesday, the 14th, will mark the release of my 50th album, Living Water. I can’t believe it! I do not personally keep track of them. I just keep composing and performing. I will make recordings as long as God gives me the music, and people still enjoy listening to me. It’s kind of like walking. You just put one small step after the other. After a while you realize that you have walked a long distance. The same is true of a recording artist’s life. You just keep recording, and pretty soon you reach one milestone or the other.
