#MusicSermon
#MusicSermon is my baby; my happiest accident. An online “place” for musical “worship,” where we praise our legends, testify about the good works of the unsung, and rejoice in the blessings of soul music.
Started as a weekly twitter series, #MusicSermon quickly grew into a community of music lovers and a source of communal nostalgia, with artists, celebs, influencers and regular music heads regularly joining in for service.
For the last half of 2019, bandwidth forced me to put #MusicSermon on a bit of hiatus, but the doors of the church have reopened for 2020.
The below posts offer just a sampling of the #MusicSermon experience. Visit #MusicSermon’s site or follow on twitter to be part of a “service” in real time.

The first #MusicSermon, before it was a #MusicSermon, remixed. A celebration of choreographed moved, matching outfits, high energy jams, and flexible joints. Amen.


Remembering the Remix
The concept of the “remix,” has mostly been lost; beats are sent via email, feature vocals sent back the same way. But remixes used to be EVENTS. We look back at the golden era.
