Interview With Damian McGinty

 Mercy: What was the writing process of this EP like?  Damian: Very different than anything I’d done before. I really allowed myself to be flexible in the creative process, and tried not to box myself into any corners. It allowed for a very organic creative experience.   Mercy: What line from what song is your favorite?  Damian: This changes from time to time. Right now I’d have to say “Now that’s it’s dust on the ground, I’m older and younger somehow.” This was my best attempt at verbally explaining how nostalgia feels to me. When I go home, it’s still there, but it changes. It’s ever changing. It’s not what is used to look like. That makes me feel young as in living the memories, but then also old because it’s not what it used to be.   Mercy: What was your favorite song to record?  Damian: Those Were the Days or Letter to Myself. I can’t choose between the 2 of them. They’re very different and both have different pros. Those Were the Days I just had a blast recording. It’s such

The Millers Are Coming To The Ark

   The Millers Are Coming To The Ark Performing At The Noah's Village Amphitheater Stage On Thursday, August 19th at 1:30 pm. The rich heritage and unique sound of Gospel Music can often be traced back to the smooth harmonies possessed by musical families who have continually passed down this tradition from generation to generation. Such is the case with Randy Miller, Becky Miller, and Randy Simpson. Each of them learned family harmony very early in life, singing in churches and traveling with their respective families. These family and friends share a rich musical heritage, and it's most obvious that this heritage goes on and is alive and well still today, and, fortunately for Gospel Music lovers, continues in a new form with The Millers.  The Millers are a nationally known southern gospel group based in Winchester, VA. The Millers travel throughout the United States and Canada, performing at various concert venues and churches. Its members have also performed at Dollywood, Th

How To Be a Horseback Rider On a Budget

Horses are expensive, so riding is a costly hobby. While you need to be prepared to sell out a significant amount of money if you want to be a good rider, there are ways you can cut costs to make the hobby more affordable. Use these three tips to be a great rider on a budget. Buy Used Equipment Having the most expensive equipment available doesn't make you a great rider. There is no need to purchase top-of-the-line equipment just because it is a brand name. Used equipment can be just as good as new if it has been well taken care of. Try to find inexpensive horse tack to use for riding. You can also search thrift stores to find great deals on riding clothes. Borrow a Horse Instead of Buying One You may think that it makes more sense to buy a horse than to pay to rent one for lessons. If you're always paying for lessons, you won't have much money left. If you buy a horse, however, you have something to show for your money. This might make sense on paper, but in reality, it i

How To Desensitize Your Horse

Horses get spooked by many random items. A waving sheet, a car backfiring or a roadside worker using a chainsaw can all startle your horse while you are riding, and you could get seriously hurt if you get thrown. If you want to reduce the chance of your mount spooking, it is a good idea to think about putting him or her through desensitization training. Here are three steps you need to employ to train a calm, steady mount. Introduce Your Horse to Different Objects Unfamiliar items are often scary for horses. The more articles you introduce to your horse, the less likely it is the animal will feel nervous around them. Try setting up a desensitization course in your home arena and take your mount through it several times a week. Start by walking your pet through a course filled with colorful objects and moving items. Once you have introduced your horse to these unfamiliar gadgets, you can start riding him or her over a course filled with colorful horse jumps for sale . Get your mount use

How to Avoid Cavities

If you want your next visit to a Huntsville dentist to be smooth sailing and not have to come back for a filling, there are different things you can do in order to prevent cavities .  Brush Your Teeth If you want to fight cavities, it’s very important to brush your teeth at least twice a day. You can either use an electric toothbrush or a regular one, but use a toothpaste that contains fluoride. Brush every side of your teeth, including the top, back, and front. Brushing removes plaque but it does come back so you need to brush morning and night. Floss Your Teeth Food debris gets caught in your teeth and, if you don’t remove it, it can lead to cavities. Flossing every day is the easiest and best way to remove the debris between teeth that brushing can’t get. Eat a Healthy Diet Proper nutrition is an important part of good dental health. Eating nutritious meals and snacks and limiting sugary foods and drinks can help prevent plaque from forming on your teeth. It’s also good to avoid ha

Gary LeVox One on One Released!!

Hey neighbors!! Here is a new release by Gary LeVox!! Hurry over, Stream ONE ON ONE now and get a copy of this awesome EP at https://garylevox.lnk.to/OneOnOneMI ! I really enjoyed listening to this one.  Pay attention to the words! One on One is Gary's debut, solo album.  He even has a song on here, While I Wait, with his daughter, Brittany LeVox. When asked about the role God has played in his musical journey, LeVox said, “I feel like God graced us with a platform where we can not only touch people’s lives through music, but by being men of God offstage too,” explained LeVox. “At those times when we are with fans that are going through something like cancer, it is so wonderful to not only sing for them but to hold their hand and pray with them. I want them to know that they have a friend in me. I’m not just some guy on the stage. I feel like Christ has put me in this position because He knew I could handle the obligation, which often means taking the time to lift someone up in pra
