I'm older! Free music!

Yes, January 26th was my birthday. How old do you think I am? Let's make that the game today. I'll give something to the first person who responds.

So my birthday was cool, especially because I got season 4 of Enterprise on DVD and a Star Wars belt buckle. It's nice to know you can be in your 40s and still get stuff you would have liked as a teenager. (Did I give away my age, or is it just a red herring?)

I've also been around a bit this month. Went to Denver, twice, for two different reasons. I lead worship at a Youth Minister's Retreat on campus- hello to all on the front lines! You'll probably never read this because I keep forgeting to promote myself or my web page at those events. Some say that makes me humble and holy. I say it makes me poor and stupid.

Speaking of being poor and stupid, my "best of Bob Rice" CD is nearly finished. I prided myself on doing something innovative. After all, how many other Catholic artists do you know that has a best of album? Then I found out that Tom Booth just came out with one! The dog! He, by the way, IS in his 40s. I thought I was cutting egde but got beat by a pro. And his album cover is him holding a flame!!! No, just kidding. But that would have been funny.

Next thing you know, Matt Maher will come out with a song titled, "Shining like the Son", and I'll be screwed. All those AZ cats are out to get me.

But the good news is I've put all the MP3s that didn't make it free on the web (click on the title of this blog to get there). It's a work in progress, but there is a good amount of stuff there, including the ever asked for but rarely available "More Than Gold". You old timers can go down memory lane with me back to 1996 when I was just 15 years old and wrote my first conference theme song.

Or was I?

Thanks to all the great comments on this blog. It's nice to be read.
