The Journey Chris's journey as a musician traces back to his religious roots.  His grandparents raised him Baptist. All of his life. He was exposed to nothing but gospel music.  “I grew up in a Baptist church and a Baptist house.  I rarely ever listened to anything but gospel music." But then he recalls a few exceptions on some Saturday nights at his grandparent’s house.  He and his family would listen to a little blues airing over the radio, but not much since they primarily focused on gospel. He recalls back to his church days...  “I could hear a soprano part in the choir, and I instantly could sing it and teach it.  I have really good ears.  So when I was 12, I went from playing guitar to teaching choir parts and training voices.  I soon found myself being in the music director‘s position.   After that I had to be able to fiddle around with the organ/piano to teach a choir part," he added.   For many years his church choir consisted of  a drummer, guitar player, and a bass.  However, there was no organ player around, and Chris knew that something needed to be done about that.
