 Can you believe that in just a few short weeks the kids will be out of school for the summer? Hard to imagine how this year (school calendar) can almost be over with.  I am looking forward to not getting up so early in the morning to get the kids off to school. It will be nice having them around the house more as well.  I have to say a big THANK YOU to my friends who were able to make to my recent gigs.  I played last night at the 909 Bistro in Burien and had a wonderful time. I got to see some friends I haven't seen for a long time. Bill, my old partner on the police department, and his lovely wife Lisa showed up with about a dozen more people.  Steve and Courtney, Phil and Laura, Pete and Marie. It was so nice of you to take time out of your schedules and make it down there. Hope Squidward liked the dedicated song to her (she was listening over the phone) LOL!

Big Thank You to my brother Don Howell ( love him like a brother) who brought his incredible talents down and sat in with me. Don's bass brings so much to the music.  What a pleasant surprise to see him there. Don plays with me in the St. Stephen's Life Band and is also a felllow firefighter. Now you understand why I call him my brother.

I won't get too political here but it seems like all that money we pumped into the auto industry didn't do a whole lot of good did it. They are filing for bankruptcy one by one it seems regardless.  Hope this madness stops!

We will be pulling the plug on the Lifeteen Band for the summer in just a few weeks. It will give us time to recharge our batteries a bit and give some time to work on our upcoming Christmas CD that is in the early stages of planning. We have been asked for several years to put something together and hopefully we can pull it off.  Well I gott'a run here but I just want you to keep praying for our country and for an end to abortion.  We can not be a powerful world leader if we lose our morals and values.  Remember the decadence that ocurred the fall of Rome?  We're not quite there yet of course but we seem to be headed in that general direction.  The way I understand it there are only two possiblities in this afterlife.  One is to spend eternity with God in heaven and the other choice.......well, I think you know the other choice.  As for me I will strive to live a life with God.  I will fall short many times and let Him down of course, but I plan to keep my eyes on the prize.  Later.      GOD BLESS!

My daughter took several of my videos I made for an "America's Got Talent" tryout and put them on the web in the Youtube realm.  Just go to youtube and type in FIREMANOLY and they should pop up.  Or to make it easier just click on one of these links to see my own Youtube Channel or one of the videos my daughter  put on her own channel.

Kind'a cool but also kind'a wierd to see yourself on screen.  As usual I make some mistakes and as usual I look like I just came back from a camping trip but take it for what it is and I hope you enjoy it.  Later Gator!

Thank you so much for visiting my site. I am a singer/songwriter of sorts, and decided to start this site as a way for people to listen to a sample of my music, find out where I am currently playing, and what events I will be playing for in the future. Also you will be able to order CDs on-line soon.

Although I do play secular music for certain venues, I consider myself mainly a contemporary Christian artist. My aim in life is to continue to grow in my relationship with Christ, my family, and with my music. I hope you will sign my guest book and give me your thoughts on what you liked/didn't like on the site or what you think would make it better. It is a work in progress so I will be tweaking it as I go and someday I hope to have a highly polished product for you.

I hope that this site will continue to grow, get better, and be an interesting place for you to visit once in a while.

I hope to meet you in person for weekly mass at St. Stephen the Martyr Church in Renton , WA (Sunday evenings) or at one of the other events I may be playing for.

God Bless You,

Your Friend in Christ,
