A few days ago I played around with my MacBook Pro web camera in my kitchen, reciting some things I’ve written about hymn text writing and how to revise the lyrics of old hymns. I uploaded two short videos to YouTube and decided to share them here. So, these videos will interest you if:

- You only know me through my written words, and you want to see if I look and sound goofy.
- You’re interested in how to write and revise song lyrics, and especially Christian hymns.
