Date Joined MRSB:   September 2017

Favourite Band Piece / Composer:   Song of Courage Eric Ball [FS258]

The music reflects many moods.  There is, to commence, gaiety, and later some sense of fear and effort against great odds. The old chorus "Stand like the Brave" typifies the call to action in the face of danger, and "A Prayer for Courage" - the central part of the compostition - is a reminder of the true Source of Christian fortitude.

Interests:  Bushwalking, classical music

Favourite Bible Verse:   Isaiah 41:10

"So don’t be afraid. I am here, with you; don’t be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you, help you.  I am here with My right hand to make right and to hold you up."

Life Influences:   Various dedicated Bandmasters
