Be Encouraged

Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” – T.S. Eliot

“There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.” – Aristotle

The Story

Named after my daughter, Tamilym

Tam Jam

Smooth James Smooth Jazz

My love for contemporary jazz and Smooth Jazz has grown a great deal over the years and I have started to think of it as "Grown-Man HipHop". Smooth James is my collection of jazzy, piano moody instrumental music and it isthe start of a different musical path for me.

What I Used to Make "Tam Jam"

I used my Yamaha DJX MIDI keyboard as a keyboard controller for Propellerhead Reason. I connect the DJX keyboard to my PC via a MIDI cable. Inside Reason, I use the NN-XT Advanced Samples for the Grand Piano sounds.
