There is one other thing I want to mention. How we interact with each other speaks much louder about our beliefs that who we claim our God is. It is just that ultimately we are all people.

It’s not that I am ambivalent to your particular religious path. So, “Houses of the Holy” will be a forum where I intend on sharing with you some of the many things I have learned about house of worship sound along with some of the things I have learned about God over the years.īy the way, you do not have to have the same spiritual beliefs as I do in order to read this column. For that matter there have been a lot of advancements in my audio life during those years. There have been a lot of advancements in the world of worship sound and live sound in general during the last eleven years. for the purpose of live sound mixing and sound system installation. Eleven years ago I formed RioDeluxe Audio Inc. Really.-b) It was at about that same time that I began installing sound systems and mixing at houses of worship. (What Jamie is leaving out is that we were both 16 years old at the time. Maybe I will write about it one day.Īnyway, back to the subject at hand, I began writing about 16 years ago for my editor and longtime friend Bill Evans. The actual story is kind of long but rather interesting.


I realize that most guys meet Brazilian girls on Brazilian beaches but God happened to be there and He wanted to talk with me. I met God on the Ipanema beach in Rio de Janiero Brazil about 25 years ago. I have not been a believer for quite that long. During that time I have either performed in or mixed more than 3,000 live events. To start with I have been involved with live music, sound systems and music production for more than 30 years. If you have never heard of (or read) me, I will give you my short resume. For those of you who already know me (or something about me), it is nice to know that you are reading this column.
