I finally got Zazzle to re-post my t-shirt, featuring the Healing Waters cd cover art, front and back. You can find it here: zazzle.com/musicbyevan. There's also a mug, bumper sticker and a t-shirt with "Music By Evan" on it. Hope you like them.

Musings and Dreams
After such a successful day at Messiah, the dream is alight in me again. The latest musing?
Set up a month-long road trip, hitting churches all along the way.
It would take a lot of work and planning, but it's otherwise a simple idea. Many churches have services serveral days a week, so I wouldn't be stuck with only Sundays. I could stop at one church on a Wednesday, move on and see the next one on a Friday, followed by a Saturday and a Sunday. If I planned it appropriately, I might even see some of the same churches more than once and visit one of their other services.
How would it work with each church?
- I would play one or two highlight songs, especially my arrangement of Amazing Grace.
- I would not ask to be paid for my time, just for the opportunity to promote and sell my CD.
- I would ask that the church announce that I was coming a week or two in advance to assist with this process, as the CDs will cover my gas and food expenses.
- I would give 10-20% of the CD sales back to each respective church.
As I can can think of them, here's a list of needs:
- A booking agent to plan this whole trip and make it work as well as come along and help on the trip.
- Places to stay along the way. Many churches can provide this amenity.
- Each church would need to have it's own piano (rare to not have one, I suppose)
- A plan to have clean clothes through the whole trip.
I'm drawing a blank for now, but I'm sure I'll revisit this later.
