Carving to good music?  It doesn't get much better than that!

Around the time I started carving, I also began playing the guitar.  I wrote my first song when I was fourteen years old. My brother, Gerald, and I made an album of my songs when I was seventeen.  Four years later, I made a second album of more of my songs.

The buttons, below, will take you to a sampling of my music.



"I thought I should tell you I spent considerable time in the hospital with a lot of complicated issues they haven't figured out yet - one of which was I had a heart attack after two weeks in there, and my roommate was the first person to die in hospital with covid ... So, that put me in isolation with basically no human contact for two and a half weeks.   I'm not digging for sympathy here, I just wanted you to know that during that time I hummed and sang and read.  Countless times I comforted myself with your song  "The touch of Jesus ".   I praise our Lord for your music.   I'm not really known as a "super- sentimental" kind of person, but when our Lord touches your heart with something it becomes Life to you.  And, once again, I was truly touched and will never be the same from that experience.  So, once again, I felt it was only fair I bless you for your contribution to my life.  I thank our Father for you.  Please take care, Allen."    KM   ["The Touch of Jesus" is on Both Sides of the Cross, below.]

Songs I've recently written; performed by my family and I.

My day often starts by standing with my back to the warm, wood stove, playing an old, $20, yard sale, nylon-stringed guitar.  No audience.  No trial run.  Plenty of mistakes, but lots of fun.
