Dear Fellow Listeners,
I thank God again for the ability to reflect the Gospel in song, so that comfort can been enjoyed from the referenced scriptures. To see the words that you hear go here:

Seemingly a bit audacious of me to have a website called “The Great Publishing Company”. A refence to Psalms 68:11; The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
My intention was not to be singing and playing what I had written, but to make it available for those who have no original music, though they might have a great voice and/or the ability to play an instrument and sing. In any case, it turns out (30 years ago) I could not get anybody interested. So, I bought a guitar, started playing again, and sang what I had written.
And here I am . . .
It’s been a rough road, trying to serve the Lord Jesus Christ; I wrote “Uphill All the Way”, considering that path. The reality is that, as God molds you, each day, and even each moment, you are being prepared for what ever is next. There are high points, but it is the low points where you will get to know the Lord much better and you faith in Him will grow.
I pray for you all, that the Lord will give you the spirit of wisdom and enlightenment of the eyes of understanding.
Thanks for listening,
Dennis

The Old Ones - Listen on N1M

Dear Fellow Listeners,
I hope this doesn’t get treated like spam.
My intension is to only send an email every two weeks to avoid appearing as spam, but I wanted to get this “news” out there ASAP.
I expect to be in California, next month, on the weekend of the 13th and could be available to do a praise and worship service Friday or Saturday evening or Sunday morning. Call it a concert if you like.
I haven’t determined where I might stay for the nights, but I would be close enough to go to the LA area, Santa Barbara/Ventura area and Bakersfield/Antelope Valley are possible too.
Please let me know, soon.
Thanks for listening,
Dennis

Dear Fellow Listeners,
Praise God that his word is going out and touching hearts through music.
But I also have some sappy love songs, so I started with one I wrote essentially to the girls who dumped me. I never have felt any negative thoughts toward them but only affection. Yes, there was significant pain and heart ache that lasted for a while but I’m alright now.
Of course, these last couple of songs were homemade in a bedroom, so the studio quality is not there. But these give you an idea of what it might be like to be in a live venue.
There’s always more to say but it all can wait till another time. Besides, the PR experts at n1m say I should only send an email every other week so that I don’t look like I’m a spamming bot. Nope, it’s just me.
Thanks for listening!
Dennis

It’s about time I wrote something . . .
Yes, I have a problem with what is essentially self-promotion. It’s just me trying to run this profile.
I would get my stepdaughter to do it if she had time. But she has a full-time job, is finishing a bachelor's degree and has a boyfriend. She might say she “lives with family” but I always tell her to say that her parents live with her, since she has the best career situation, her name on the deed and she is the major contributor to the household costs. My prayer for her is mainly that she adheres to 1 Corinthians 10:31; Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
Meanwhile, I am already experiencing very early symptoms of dementia. Mostly just short-term memory: I do not have any “blackout” periods. I am always conscious except when I’m asleep. Otherwise, I have a problem with coming up with words, mostly nouns. I can describe something in detail yet do not recall what it is called. Very frustrating. My dad didn’t appear to have these type of problems until he was in his 80s.
So, I keep on trying to focus on the ministry, as this song states:

That’s a rock n roller, partly borrowed from The Eagles.
Another thing I struggle with is the genre. I have some songs I would like to post but I can’t really say I know where they fit, as far as that goes. I know some are leaning toward being country, but others are something else. Like what I just posted; Count It All Joy is very much a 1940s big band tune.
Anyways, if you all could help define the genre for me that would be greatly appreciated. And if I have mislabeled anything, let me know.
Thanks for listening,
Dennis

So sorry for the silence from me.
I've been trying to get together a band or join one that would insert my ministry into it's own. In any case, we will end up with some recordings of some of what is on my website.
