During the many years of their long-distance musical partnership, Pastor Jim & Edward continued to write music both collaboratively & individually. After they recently renewed their commmittment to record new material, they agreed that many of the songs Jim & Meredith had shared with the congregations they had served over the years deserved a wider audience, though the music did not fit the "progressive rock" paradigm of the group. Rather than try mesh their musical styles as has been done with their other recording projects, they decided to dedicate a project to recording Jim's songs, with Edward acting more as a facilitator than a collaborator. After rehearsing & auditioning a plethora of material together, Jim chose the songs he wished to include, with some input from Edward. Jim named the project, "Songs From The Father", and wrote a brief description of his vision for it: A worshipful, Testament to the core values of our Christian Faith, and the personal relationship between Jesus and the Father. And album where the Holy Spirit lives in every Word, and directs every moment. A fresh look at themes that we grew up with, but can never grow away from. Thankfully, Jim's vocals for this project have for the most part been completed & are awaiting the musical accompaniment & backing vocals. Slated for a 2011 or 2012 release, "Songs From The Father" remains a work in progress, and a labor of love.
