i agree with you very much on this one. Much of Christian radio deals
with "safe and sappy" music, which is fine for the audiences who find

no, man, you're right here, too. i try to be as true to myself as i
can in my music. any "image" i convey externally hopefully is my own

you're right on the money here, Greg.
