Start with a little Lynyrd Skynyrd, throw in some ZZ Top, add some Fabulous Thunderbirds and a healthy dollop of Muddy Waters, sprinkle in some Eagles, mix well, and what do you get? Steam Shovel.
“HUH?!”
That’s right. Steam Shovel is an old school R&B band that I recently joined. We’ve been practicing for a few months now and have our first gig this weekend at the Devils Triangle Motorcycle Rally at Grey Wolf Campground. We’ll perform Friday and Saturday sometime after 2:00PM each day.
“What’s a nice Christian boy doing in that kind of band” you may ask? Well, as the late great Larry Norman said, “I know that Jesus saved my soul, but I still like to listen to the radio.” He also said, “There’s nothing wrong with playing blues licks.” This kind of music is just plain fun. It’s music about the human condition. Besides, to reach a lost and dying world we need to show them that we can identify with them. Hardcore bikers don’t identify with starched white shirts and hymn music.
The band is Chuck “Guitar” McCrosky on electric guitar, the “Great and Powerful Tony” on drums, “Spider Tom” Case on bass and backup vocals, and yours truly on vocals.
“Spider Tom” and I are both CMA members and will be wearing our colors on stage. If the crowd likes our music maybe they’ll be more willing to hear what we have to say about spiritual matters after the show.
The CMA will be well represented at this rally. Pray for witnessing opportunities.
