'); // document.write('-EJ 12:6 '); // document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('What is the "Offering of the Month"? '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write("It's our paradigm for sharing some of our music with you. :-)
"); document.write("In a nutshell, we're making it available as free mp3 downloads in "); document.write('the form of a "monthly offering". '); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('Why are you doing this? '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('There are a number of reasons. :-)

'); document.write(' '); document.write('The main reason is that I (EJ) have spent a lot of time in prayer '); document.write("seeking the Lord's will and have come to the conclusion "); document.write('that this is what the Lord wants me to do with my music. '); document.write('While Everlasting Arms was originally intended to be a "profitable venture", '); document.write("I've had a hard time reconciling the dichotomy between the calling "); document.write("I've felt from the Lord that my music should be a ministry, "); document.write('and the idea that I should profit from it. The Lord has '); document.write('always provided well for my family via my full-time job, even in the aftermath of '); document.write('September 11, 2001, '); document.write("something for which I'm truly grateful. "); document.write('

'); document.write(' '); document.write("Also, after years of good intentions about releasing Everlasting Arms' CDs, "); document.write('my family, church, and job have always come first, leaving very little '); document.write('precious *time* for what it would take to bring a completed CD to fruition. '); document.write('As any musician or recording artist can attest, seeing a CD project to '); document.write('completion is a time-consuming process, involving all kinds of decisions '); document.write('to be made, both creative and mundane, many of which have little to do with '); document.write('the music, including the promotion that inevitably must ensue, which is '); document.write('something I have little talent for and certainly no time for.

'); document.write(' '); document.write("I'm just a musician. ;-)
"); document.write("I'd love to be able to stick to the writing and recording parts of the process.

"); document.write(' '); document.write('The "CD process" leaves very little time for musical projects outisde of '); document.write("the task at hand, and I'm often side-tracked by small one-shot musical endeavors, "); document.write('both in church and out of church -- which is what initially got me thinking...

'); document.write(' '); document.write("After 30+ years of making music, I've got a boatload of eclectic musical "); document.write('material that could be placed in any number of "buckets", some of which '); document.write('are awfully small buckets. Most of this music is "valid" to my ears and '); document.write('deserves an audience, yet none would mesh within the context of a CD project; '); document.write('many of them would not fit within the framework of Everlasting Arms, '); document.write('or an "EJ Solo" CD. In fact, my wife Kirsten suggested that I '); document.write('call this endeavor "EJ and Friends" because there have been so '); document.write('many collaborations over the years with so many different talented musicians. :-)

'); document.write(' '); document.write('Additionally, giving each piece of music its own "spotlight" once a month will allow '); document.write('each to be considered on its own merits. This will also allow us '); document.write("to describe in detail each month what it is you're listening to, which is "); document.write("something that probably couldn't be done in the liner notes of a proper "); document.write('CD release.

'); document.write(' '); document.write('Having said all this, I do wish to be clear on one issue:
'); document.write('I greatly respect anyone who can make a living solely from music and I '); document.write('certainly believe that they should be supported financially, even if their '); document.write("music is primarily a ministry. The decision I'm making is a personal "); document.write("one and something I've wrestled with for a long time. It should not be considered "); document.write('a judgment of any sorts on music ministers who are worthy of our support. '); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('Why monthly? Anything special about that? '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('Nothing special, no. But it accomplishes two things, both personal:

'); document.write(' '); document.write('1. It will allow me to break up my many musical projects into small and achievable goals.
'); document.write('2. It will force a deadline on me. ;-) '); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write("Given your time constraints and the fact that it's been nearly a decade since Everlasting Arms' first CD,
"); document.write('are you really going to come out with something new every month? '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('Good question. ;-)
'); document.write('I will certainly try my best.
'); document.write('I do have quite a backlog of material to fall back on.
'); document.write("But if I'm late once in a while, it's free, right? ;-)

"); document.write('Seriously, there is a tremendous difference time-wise between what it '); document.write('takes to bring forth a fully-completed and polished recording, and a '); document.write('very good acceptable and fun demo-quality recording of the same material. '); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('What kind of music should I expect to hear every month? '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('It could be a fully-completed and polished recording, or a live recording, '); document.write('or a demo, or a jam session... There may be multiple offerings '); document.write('some months. My "vision", if one can call it that, is to try '); document.write('to offer at least one reasonably "finished" track per month, '); document.write('along with a "bonus curio" of sorts. The recording quality will vary '); document.write("greatly, but hopefully, it's all fun. The songs could range in length "); document.write('from a minute to over 20 minutes. '); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('Is the material copyrighted? Can I share this music with other people? '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('All of the music is copyrighted either by us or whoever wrote it (whether '); document.write("it's a collaboration or written entirely by someone else.) If it's not "); document.write('ours, we got permission to share it with others via this site. Feel free '); document.write('to share it with others, preferably by referring them to this site, '); document.write('which include all of the lyric/comments we offer each month so as to give the listener some context. '); document.write('Of course, you may not sell the material or profit from it.

'); document.write(' '); document.write('If you wish to sing any of these songs in your church, we have printed '); document.write('choir arrangements with the piano parts & chord charts available for a '); document.write('few of them. We could also provide karioke-type tracks if you wish.

'); document.write(' '); document.write('If you wish to play any of these tracks on any radio stations (over the '); document.write('internet or over the airwaves), feel free, that would be wonderful. '); document.write('We would really appreciate it if at all possible if you could '); document.write('let us know '); document.write('when & where the song(s) may air. '); document.write('If for any reason (in the case of some silly demos & the like) we prefer this '); document.write("not be done, we'll make it clear that month. Otherwise, feel free & many thanks! "); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('Is Everlasting Arms still selling CDs? If so, why? '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('Yes, we are.
'); document.write("To offer the CD for free wouldn't be fair to all those over the years "); document.write('who have paid for it (though we have admitedly given away quite a few). '); document.write('Also, when it comes to the CPR discs, we have an obligation to our '); document.write('brothers & sisters on the compilation not to undermine their work, '); document.write('especially since we all entered into a good faith agreement to '); document.write('all offer the CDs at the same price on the web. In addition to these '); document.write('considerations, the fact is that Everlasting Arms is a legal partnership '); document.write('that pays taxes. The IRS kind of sees us as more than just a ministry. ;-)

'); document.write(' '); document.write('Besides, there are many advantages to keeping the legal business intact, '); document.write('especially since the long-range plans have always included publishing '); document.write('other artists besides ourselves. '); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('Will Everlasting Arms be releasing any new CDs for sale in the future? '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('That is still the plan, yes.
'); document.write('In fact, some of the "monthly offerings" have been demos, works-in-progress, '); document.write('or final mixes of material that we intend to put on a future CD. '); document.write('"On Broken Wings" '); document.write('was released in 2009, two years after we began the monthly offerings. '); document.write('Also, work continues on the full-length version of '); document.write('"Rapture". '); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write("What's with this question & answer format?
"); document.write("Aren't you just asking yourself questions & answering them? "); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write("D'OH! Actually, the few people I've shared this "); document.write('"monthly offering" '); document.write('idea with have asked me these questions, and I found myself answering '); document.write("them multiple times. Besides, I think it's more fun to read it this "); document.write('way than just a long essay. Next question... ;-) '); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('I forgot to check in last month. Can I still download it? '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('We intend to archive as much as our ISP will allow.
'); document.write(' Click here to access the archives '); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('What if I like some of these songs?
'); document.write('Can I get them on a CD? '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write("We'll be happy to make custom CDRs of any/all material of your choosing.
"); document.write('Certainly CDs sound better than mp3s.
'); document.write('Click here to email us a request.

'); document.write("We would ask for a suggested $10 donation to cover shipping & media, but wouldn't require it.
"); document.write('We might consider adding an option for this on the '); document.write('Store Page in the future if we '); document.write('receive enough requests for it. We might even consider mastering & releasing '); document.write('a "Best Of The Monthlies" compilation CD at the end of each year. '); document.write("Not sure where this is going. We're still making it up as we go along...

"); document.write(' '); document.write("Thanks for asking. Oh wait, you're me... never mind... "); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write("Is there anything else you want to tell me that I'm not asking about? "); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('Yes. '); document.write(' '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('Er, what do you want to tell me? '); document.write(' '); document.write('

'); document.write('THANK YOU, for reading & for listening.
'); document.write('Also, we welcome any/all constructive feedback/criticism.
