Most of you who have been hanging around our Place Called Simplicity know how much Graham love, love, loves music.
He plays the drums and the guitar.
He took two drum lessons.
He never took even one guitar lesson.
Graham’s even been sponsored by some major drum manufacturers.
{I had no clue about any of this kind of stuff or that there
was such a thing until this musical son of ours hit the scene.}

He leads the youth worship band.
He plays either drums or guitar on the adult worship team.
Anyway, Graham and his best bud Ben started a little band.
They named it Last Anthem
And they are number ONE band in our area!!

They set up a little music studio.
And on any given day, you can hear Graham playing something loudly.
To record the songs that are now on itunes, Graham will record an instrument. Then he records another instrument and puts it on top of the first recorded one. Then he records a voice. Then he puts it with the first two instruments.
It’s all pretty amazing to me, since I have absolutely zero musical talent.
Actually it’s probably not really zero musical talent.
Being perfectly honest…
I’m somewhere in the negative scale with musical talent.
not.even.kidding.
Anyway, last week the album they recorded made it to itunes for people to buy.
Emma took the cover picture for them.
Check ’em out: Last Anthem
And to find them on itunes, search: Last Anthem
