Hello and Greetings ,

How has your winter and now early spring going ? I like the warmer weather but not so much looking forward to the yard work.

I had a gig on Feb 15th at a place called Chances Social in KC. It went very well and the younger crowd loved the music. It was located in the arts district in KC. The previous night (Valentines Day) I actually got 2 last minute bookings. WOW! That’s great and that doesn’t happen too often. I played at a place called The Reef which is a seafood restaurant here in KC. I played 3 hours which was unexpected but it was a blast. The people loved it and I even had people offering to buy me drinks. I had to the other place I couldn’t play which was hard for me to do. I was hoping for a Valentines day gig

I have some more private parties coming up that I will be playing for and with the warmer weather, I hope for more gigs. I’ve been adding new songs to my play list

I just found out some disappointing news.  The KC plaza for the past 30 years has had the Plaza Live series featuring various bands performing at the KC Plaza. I performed there for the last 4-5 years and its was always blast and a gig that I always looked forward to. I called about getting a date to perform there this year and found out the KC plaza is under new management and the new management has cancelled the Plaza Live series. No bands will be performing at the plaza. This is just plain dumb and Its very disappointing. This is a great place to have bands and the people love it.

Time to humble ourselves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
For me , it’s getting so bad I don’t even like reading the news anymore. It just keeps getting worse . Election stuff with attacks, continued mass shootings, outbreak of the corona virus and more. It’s just getting sick. At some point don’t you get sick of it . I do. Where do you turn when you had enough ? Here’s an interesting passage from 2 Chronicles 7:14

“if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place”

What does it mean to humble oneself ? The definition of humble is having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance. Another words dropping our pride and realizing our faults. All throughout the bible when people humbled themselves, God heard them and helped them and did not destroy them. An example is David with his sin against Bathsheba. Those who did not humble themselves in most cases were destroyed. Look at how Pharaoh ended up when he did not humble himself after God gave him several chances.

Our world in some ways is self-destructing and I believe it has a lot to do with pride and greed. Please take time regularly to humble yourself. I would think we ALL want a better , safer place to live.

Be Blessed. Thanks for your support and please take care and keep the emails coming. Also remember to pray for leaders and our schools.

Sincerely,
Dave

Life without Money
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you ever wondered if you can live your life without money? For most it can be scary . Money can be a good thing or a bad thing. Money has led to many evils, greed, corruption, killing, lies, stress and the list goes on. We see this in our corporate world and in all levels of politics. Money has also done much good in helping many. Yes in our present day, we need money to survive. But what if we could learn to live without it ? Let me re-phrase, What if we can learn to live without money and rely totally on God ? Interesting ,right ? Did you know that God has an endless supply of resources ? Even the smartest thieves cannot steal all what God has. I’d like to share some amazing stories where people had no money but relied on God.

In Matthew 10 , Jesus sends out twelve disciples for a journey.
Note Jesus’s instructions in verse 9:
“Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts—no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep.

In verse 16 Jesus indicates :
“I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

The disciples went out on a journey with no supplies, no provisions and no money. Quite a challenge without any physical resources. All they had was God and it more than enough. The disciples came back all in one piece because God not only provided for their basic needs but also for the work God called them to.

A homeless beggar in need in Acts 3:3
One day Peter and John were going up to the temple. Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”
In this case the man that was lame really did need money to survive. He couldn’t walk. You would think that of all people, the apostles would give this man money. It’s interesting that Peter said he had no money to give him but ended giving him, with God’s help, something better than money. The man was able to walk and leapt for joy. No money needed here.

The Rich Man who had it All.
In Mark 10:17, we read about the rich young ruler who was very wealthy. He asked Jesus on what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus said to keep his commandments and listed his commandments. The rich man indicated to Jesus that he kept all those commandments since he was a boy. Look at Jesus’s response in verse 21:

Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

Pretty radical wouldn’t you agree? Jesus wanted him to experience something better than all the wealth he could possibly imagine. A life totally dependent on God. A big step of faith and trust. The rich man face fell down and went away sad because he had great wealth and couldn’t see the greater blessing Jesus had for him.

John G. Lake
One of the best stories I read about relying on God is the story of John G Lake. John G Lake lived back in the 1900’s and was an insurance salesman. One day God got a hold of his life and wanted him to heal people. He quit the insurance business and healed over 100,000 people around the world. One very inspiring thing that John G Lake said in one of his sermons was “The best day of my life is when I gave up my last dollar.” A wealthy insurance man gave up everything to follow God and healed many. A rich young man giving up everything to follow God. What a great reward he had and now has in heaven. It seemed like Mr. Lake did more when he had no money than when he did.

When I performed and did ministry at one of the homeless shelters here in KC, I remember what one of the homeless men told me, “You’d be surprised 0n how little you need when you rely on God and do his work” . That still sticks with me.

Sometimes I think what life would be like to live this kind of lifestyle and the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:25 when Jesus says to not worry about life or not to worry about food or clothes and he will provide for us. Maybe there would be less stress because of the trust and faith you develop in God. But I live in the world of college, mortgages, cars, getting to work etc... So I do pray that God can use what I have to bless him.

Be Blessed. Thanks for your support and please take care and keep the emails coming. Also remember to pray for leaders and our schools.

Sincerely,
Dave Panico

Hello and Greetings,

Thanks so much for the encouraging emails you sent. Its well appreciated and really helps when things get slow or I'm feeling down. Its good to know that you enjoy the music. I'm working on new music. Its just a slow process.

I pray that the New Year is going well for you and I hope you had a great Christmas. I had an enjoyable Christmas and New Years spending time with Family in Chicago and St Louis. Lots of laughter , food and fun. How was your Christmas ? How was your New Years ?

Musically this time of year is slow for me. I’m adding new songs to my list and working on writing new songs. I keep up my techniques by practicing some Charlie Parker tunes. I’m contacting some new venues to play at. If you know of any please let me know.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Need some sweet sax for Valentines ?
--------------------------------------------------------------
Valentines day is not far off so if you need some sweet sax to make your event special please contact me.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Recording In Progress.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yes the new song still needs to be tweaked but there has been hurdles like winter snowstorms that has slowed the recording process down. I hope to get this song finished soon and submitted to Hollywood.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t Let the Giving Stop…
--------------------------------------------------------------
In my last letter I wrote about the best gift you can give and that is giving of one’s self. When we give, we get even more in return. Let’s keep that giving going and hope that it becomes contagious.

Thanks for the letters and the support. Make this year better than last.

Sincerely,
Dave

Greetings and Merry Christmas,

Thank you all so much for the encouraging emails . Thanks for keeping in touch and enjoying the music.

I pray that you and your family will experience the true joy of Christmas this year and will be blessed. The true joy of Christmas is all about giving and not necessarily something that comes from a department store. The giving I am referring to is giving of ones’s self. Maybe try and do something for someone who is less fortunate or experiencing a loss. Do something to put a smile on someone’s face. Touch a heart. Spend time with someone . Call , do not text. The list is endless. I’ll let you on a little secret. The best part of giving of one’s self is the wonderful gift that you receive back. Its the joy that comes from doing something special for someone. Here it is from Proverbs 11:25:

A generous person will prosper;
whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

Do you need to be refreshed from the stress of Christmas preparation ? or from life’s pressure ? Well go out and touch a heart that may need comfort or encouragement. This time of year there are many.

The reason why we celebrate giving is because God gave us the perfect gift - his son. When Jesus was born, the three wise man also brought precious gifts to baby Jesus which consisted of gold, frankincense and myrrh. God demonstrated the act of giving of one’s self by giving his son to us. Jesus says that if you’ve seen him (Jesus) you’ve seen the father (God). The heart of Jesus is to touch people and refresh people with his love and grace. This brings so much joy to Jesus when he does this and brings even greater joy to his father (God). God wants you to experience that same joy so make it a habit of doing nice to everyone.

Last week my church ,Northland Cathedral. put on a great Christmas concert The event was filled with so much music variety that was a joy for people of all ages. I didn’t know but it was streamed, and I heard we had around 3000 watching on line. I look forward to this event every year. It great to be a part of such great talent and wonderful people.

-------------------------------------------------
Recording In Progress.
-------------------------------------------------
The new song has been recorded but some tweaks need to be made. I want this to be at its best because it will be presented to contacts in Hollywood for possible submission for new movies. The producer I’m working with has some contacts in Hollywood. So, this is exciting. Please pray that the song does well.

Enjoy this season . Have safe travels if you are traveling. Thanks again so much for your support and being a fan. Your comments and emails are very appreciative.

God Bless and Merry Christmas

Sincerely,
Dave
