That was Sam’s question this weekend after he watched our youtube goof-fest.
The music was by Kenny Greenberg. He is a guitar stylist who does some work in audio tracks of this kind. I think he called them “mood tracks,” though he (or his wife or assistant or fulfillment service) hand wrote “Instrumental Music” on the CD he sent me. How cool is that? Kenny is king of cool. Ashley is queen. They generously offered us those few tracks for Laity Lodge programs to use. I can’t tell you how much I love these people.
Kenny and his wife Ashley Cleveland are going to be leading worship at Laity Lodge this summer in a retreat with Gordon MacDonald, an editor-at-large for Christianity Today’s Leadership Journal.
They led the worship at the first full retreat I ever attended. I barely remember who the speaker was because the music ministered to me more than you can possibly imagine.
If you haven’t heard Ashley’s new album, Before the Daylight’s Shot, it won a GRAMMY last year. (Her third.) You can sample nearly all of her music on her site. I especially like the track “Broken Places” from Second Skin. And my wife and I listen to Men and Angels Say all the time. (It’s all funkified hymns.)
Also, you can read my interview with Ashley and Kenny on TheHighCalling.org.
