Dear N1M Friends,
I hope you are all holding up in these crazy times. So I had one of those experiences back in 2016 where the ground gave way beneath my feet and it all went away...Help is about finding REAL after what you thought was real is ripped away from you. What I experienced as a curse was actually me being saved. Help is about getting to that place where you finally "see" >believe>commit>succeed...
A place where you can endure any and all storms...my wish for all my N1M brothers and sisters. ~ Chip

Dear N1M Family & Friends,
I pray today's "newsletter" finds you and yours in a place of hope, health, and happiness. To be honest, and to steal the title of an old movie, "Postcards From The Edge", I feel the world moving into a darkness rather than toward the light. I am perhaps a little more "old & in the gray" than most of you on this list...but I can't help but feel that the world grows darker at the rate and in proportion with our loss of ability to discern things the way we were able to once upon time...which makes me wonder why we wake up, only to fall back asleep again.
Keep a light on!
Chip

Dear Friends,
I pray you are all doing well. The past 12 months have been trying to say the least. My last two messages to you were about our love/hate relationship in "The Dance" and hope in the "Wishin' Well"...both songs from my first CD "Gone Wishin'" released in 2004. God has a way...when all seems lost. Read the Book of Esther. LOL...seriously...I have friends and family suffering...you probably do as well. Its like life itself has become this fire-breathing bronking bull from hell trying to throw us to the ground...when in reality "we are the bull, and we're the rider". My song "Rodeo", also from Gone Wishin', speaks to me now more than ever. Please dear friend...HOLD ON. ~ Chip

Good Morning All!
I pray you are all hanging in and holding on through what can best be described as cultural chaos...if not insanity. In my last newsletter I attached a song I wrote nearly twenty years ago (The Dance) that reminded me of our present day love/hate tango. And since then another song I wrote around the same time seems to be more meaningful today than it was back then. These past couple of weeks have been hard because I've seen more despair and hopelessness than I ever imagined we would see in this country...even though I know in my heart that the best is yet to come. This song (Wishin' Well) is exactly that...
God Bless,
Chip

Dear Friends,
I wanted to reach out to see how everyone is doing. I haven't been able to get back into the Brooklyn studio to complete my album "When the World Turns Around" because of the Covid. But I had this song about a tough relationship that reminded me of us, the American people...in this love/hate dance. Hold your ground, never give up, love each other, forgive each other, fight for each other, and we will make it through together.
Love you...God Bless,
Chip
