Speaking of birthdays, a friend of mine from Ohio, John Nolan, who has the most amazing ability to send tons of people happy birthday e-mails every year, sent this link along with my “happy birthday.”
Josh Hosler presents (updated weekly) THE #1 SONG ON THIS DATE IN HISTORY
You can find out what were the number one songs on your birthday back to the 1930’s. It’s kind of neat (I just spent way too much money on iTunes buying old tunes). Listening to “I’ll Be There” by the Jackson 5 right now.

St. Paul’s, Fisher, and the Village Voice
My church of preference – that would be St. Paul’s Church in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, where I serve (okay, I’m biased) – has played host over the last few years to a myriad of musical recordings, mostly from people who attend St. Paul’s.
More recently, one of that group of performers/singer-songwriters/producers yielded an article in The Village Voice where St. Paul’s is mentioned.
I guess I now live in a hipper, cooler area of New York City – BoCoCa! Go figure.
Here is the story in The Village Voice.
Here are photos of my church of preference, during Lent:

Had a very nice conversation with her and her friend/boyfriend/husband(?) one evening a couple weeks ago, by chance, eating good pasta on the bar at Fragole.
She is in Berlin about now, on tour.

Under the Richter Scale – Russian Roulette
And I’m screamin’ cause no one’s listening
To our children whose eyes are watching
Oh we’re defining what’s worth living
Should be deceiving or should we be giving
Oh I’m begging for a little

“Singing Christian worship songs in the Hindi language for an American evangelical audience can’t be an easy sell. Not only is there a formidable language barrier, but cultural and theological challenges abound—like working within the Indian classical-music tradition while conveying deep Christian truths. But that’s the approach used by Aradhna, a group of American and English musicians who have spent significant portions of their lives in central Asia. (Lead singer Chris Hale, for example, was raised in Nepal, where his parents were missionaries, and later served as a missionary to India with OM International.)” Source
