I wrote White Sands in June of 2001 while on a mission trip in Cancun, Mexico. I know, I know … Cancun, right. We actually stayed in a hotel right on the beach in Playa del Carmen, then bused into the residential area of Cancun, where living conditions were very minimal. This recording is with my former band (autumnSoul) in November of 2002.
These audio archive recordings were pretty much done by running the sound system through the computer and capturing the audio using Cool Edit Pro (now Adobe Audition).

Song Title: White Sands
BMI Work#: 6186175
Songwriter/Composer: Jamon Abercrombie
Vocals & Acoustic Guitar: Jamon Abercrombie
Bass: Rob Selvidge
Drums: Clifton Felton
Electric Guitar: Scott McNew

autumnSoul officially disbanded in 2003 after I moved to Kansas City, Scott moved to St. Louis, and Rob and Clifton stayed in Springfield. I occasionally get Rob and Clifton to come back together and help me for special events (Disciple Now, Camp, etc.)

Christmas music list – updated

I’ve been listening to this song for the past week or so. I really enjoy it. Listen to more samples and buy the disc over at RagamuffinSoul.com

I normally start actively listening to Christmas music around October, but I love listening to it anytime of the year. I’ve heard a lot of good renditions and new originals this year, and thought I’d throw my $0.02 into the Christmas music list. Not that these are the best of all-time or the best of the year or whatever; these are just a listing of individual songs or CDs of Christmas music that I have really fell in love with over the past 15 years … (and no, I’m not 20 years old – I just don’t count the first 10 years of music choices as my own … and I’m not 30 either – yet).

In no particular order:

Audio Archive – Come Down

At 6:40, probably one of the longest songs I’ve ever written/recorded. I wrote Come Down in October of 2002, and recorded it with my former band (autumnSoul) in November of 2002. This song is in E but I am planning on taking it down to C when I re-record it for my new album … whenever that gets done.

These audio archive recordings were pretty much done by running the sound system through the computer and capturing the audio using Cool Edit Pro (now Adobe Audition).

When did this happen?

Jamon AbercrombieDecember 16, 2006Leave a Comment

Whoa! Weren’t you just born? My oldest turned four today. One minute I’m in college, traveling the country playing NCAA baseball and leading worship and playing concerts … the next, we’ll I’m still leading worship, but I’ve got two kids, responsibility out the ying-yang, and I really can’t account for all that happened between then and now.

Taylor is the oldest one. He’s also the informant, and the one who always seems to be in the same room as Jordan, but never a part of making the messes. He’s also gets very particular about the clothes he wears (and not like some of our friends’ kids who demand to wear a golf shirts, sweat pants and cowboy boots), but he’s starting to realize what matches and clashes (most of the time).

But, he’s not all that grown-up. We still have a ton of Bob the Builder, Diego, Thomas the Train, Cars, dinosaur and other themed underoos … actually, I don’t know why I’m talking about “grown-up,” I’d still be wearing them if I could. My favorite ones were my royal blue Dukes of Hazzard underoos — too much information?

Kids are fun. It’s been amusing at times trying to think back to what we did in our “free” time before we had kids.

What did you do?
