With the exception of the song
"Alive" *(see explanation), all of the songs on the
GloryBound CD were written, produced, engineered, and performed
entirely by me -
Kevin Lucier. In 1998, my wife and I moved into a one bedroom apartment
and I bought almost $10,000 worth of recording equipment and musical
instruments. I had to learn each piece of equipment and how to make
them all work together. I used an ADAT, external mixer, StudioLogic
keyboard controller, Yamaha midi sequencer, acoustic and electric
guitars, an Audix microphone, and a computer running Cakewalk Pro
Audio. I performed all of the instruments and singing on the CD. My
wife Debbie beefed the computer up because at that time computers on
the public market were not yet capable of the kind of recording I was
doing.
At the end of the year, after six months of recording, I finished the
project and we put the CD on web sites on the internet. We ran out of
money and weren't able to make a quantity of the CDs and I sold the
studio equipment. I tried to put a band together to do concerts with,
but it was difficult to find dependable musicians. In retrospect, I
believe I would have done better to make my own background CDs that I
could sing and play guitar with. I have written many new songs since
then but have not recorded them.

After
I was on the radio and a couple of TV shows for "Gospel Music
Time" my wife had a liver transplant. I had to quit everything to take
care of her and the Lord miraculously helped us. Unfortunately, about
six months after the transplant, we
suddenly lost everything we had and were forced to move from San Diego
to Lake Elsinore for over three years. But the Lord used us to
lead many people to salvation in Jesus, and I was instrumental in
aquiring a free building for a church with a homeless ministry that
desperately needed it. We recently moved back to
San Diego and are attending Harvest Christian Fellowship in Lakeside.
* I Wrote the song "Alive" in 1990 and recorded it in Gary Tash's 16
track reel-to-reel home recording studio in Melrose, N.Y., in 1991. I
sang and played all
the guitar parts on that song. Gary played the keyboards and performed
the drums and bass on the keyboards. When I finished my project in my
own studio in 1998, I added the song "Alive". All of the songs from
that project which I called "Hot Fudge Sunday" can be listened to by
clicking on the "Listen to the Music" link.
I hope you enjoy the music and are forever blessed by the message. Feel
free to download and share the music with everyone you know. Jesus said
"Freely you have received, freely give."
Blessings in Jesus
