A big part of my musical and spiritual development was spent playing in a winter camp worship band for Hume Lake Christian Camps. At that time, we were known as the "Full Sail" band or "New Sounds of Faith" (Yeah, I know what you are thinking!) For those of you who don't know about Hume Lake, it may be the largest Christian camping ministry on the west coast. Located 4 hours north of Whittier, (where I grew up) my musical bandmates Don Kase, John Eastis, Rick Gramanez and Walt Tilley) would drive up and play for about 9 to 10 weekends in a row. Besides seeing some of the most beautiful winters, helping with the broom hockey competition, some of my best memories are the junior high, high school and college students we met.
