Over the next few days, I’d like to feature an independent musician named Deni Gauthier. I have had the pleasure of knowing Deni personally. Over the past twelve years, I have witnessed his talent grow to levels of excellence. Furthermore and in reference to my initial thoughts, Deni is an artist who has integrity and compassion, mixed with a good dose of humour.
These fellas were rockin’ long hair, moustaches, jean jackets and vintage guitars; matched with an unapologetic Southern hard rock style. Clearly, they pushed aside the popular to embrace a genre from rock and roll’s past. And without a doubt, they do deliver!

“Memories” by “Levi The Poet” Now, before you immediately scroll down and watch the clip, try to read through the post first. I feel compelled to preface this video with a warning, that some content may deter some from getting the true heart of this young man’s gifting.
As we work our way through the month of December, we have continued with our Ignited Christmas series. In this series, we’ve used some of IgniterMedia.com’s Christmas Mini-Movies. Today, we’ll be looking at some of the Nativity story inconsistencies and inaccuracies that we quote as Believers.
Christmas music sparks joy, nostalgia, and connection. Here’s why my playlist breaks all the rules!
Do you know what Ska is? Gen-Z and younger Millennial readers have already started Googling for answers. Gen-Xers and older Millennials have already slipped into nostalgia. And Boomers will have a recollection, but only through their children’s experience. Wherever you’re at, bear with me for a moment.
I came across an old Larry Norman video. My mind immediately went to his famous song, “I Wish We’d All Been Ready”, so I searched for a couple of versions. It had been a long time since I had heard this song and I had forgotten how haunting the lyrics were.
