The Tom Houston CD has climbed all the way to number two on the western swing top twenty. It was such a blast being part of this project. If you would like a copy of the CD, check on the CD release page on this site.

I wanted to express my sincere thanks to my fellow music educators who have helped me through the journey. God has blessed me and I am forever grateful to HIM for his unrelenting love and grace, and to those who have helped me along the way.

Dear friends - thanks for being so patient with me as my web site began to collect dust due to a very busy schedule which prohibited me from doing any updating. The spring has just zipped by and so many exciting things have happened over the last few months. I wanted to congratulate all of the bands at Grace Community School for an outstanding job at the music festivals they participated in. The sixth grade band came back with the superior rating trophy as well as the best in class trophy after a stellar performance at the Meyerson Music Hall in Dallas Texas. The Grace Middle School band competed in the TPSMEA festival and captured excellent ratings from all judges. The Grace Jazz ensembles performed at the TJC jazz fest and continued by winning the TAPPS state meet for the second year in a row!! Awesome job guys!! I love you all and thanks for making my first year at Grace an awesome experience!!
