Here With Me

Dedicated to my parents Joe and Ruby Arview and grandparents Harold and Marie Bowen.

I suppose I enjoy all kinds of music, at least in small doses. But country music is my "go to " style. I guess it was ingrained in me when I was an infant listening to my Dad's band practice in the living room. And by the way, learning your dad's music first, then creating your own is the way it's supposed to be. Respect for the past will form a great future. This project is in part comprised of some great older country songs that have a wonderful Christian message. As I look over the list, I realize that all of my heroes that sang these songs have accepted Christ and most of them have gone on to be with HIM. The title cut "Here With Me" was inspired by the birth of my first, and so far only grandson, Joseph William Arview IV. This experience taught us that God was the giver of life and HE brings peace to every situation. Every cut on this project has a stroy behind it. Some are mine, some are not but each one brings glory to GOD in a very unique way. I pray it will be a blessing to you.
