Will I Ever Pass This Way Again?
Please Note: I had to suspend my Guestbook for the time being. Apparently we have sooo many spammers out there that love to invade the privacy and good will of others. Hopefully we will have it back up soon....
The full version of these songs will soon be available on I Tunes, Rhapsody and Napster... I would like to thank all those (Joe, Liz, Ken, Dee, Jon, Mark, etc., etc.) who have helped me clean out some of the bugs in the development of these songs.

Something That Really Bothers Me...
Dee and I have been Playing Music for The Catholic Church Since 1970. We played in a "So-Called" Folk Mass with my cousins Dan and Don at St Patrick's Church in Buffalo, NY. I fell in love with my wife at that time and took her to Wichita Falls, TX where we got married. We then moved to Adana Turkey where we started the first Guitar Mass at Incirlik CDI in Adana, Turkey in 1972. During Our tenure there we were under contract and also played for some Protestant Sunday services. After leaving Turkey we moved to Bedford, MA where we played at Hanscom AFB in Massachusetts's. Upon leaving Massachusetts in 1976 we moved back to Buffalo, NY. We stayed in Buffalo and felt musically empty and needed to find what Our Lord had in mind for us. We had an opportunity to go to Southeast Virginia and began playing at OLMC church on Saturday nights in 1979. After building a new church it was understood that the Organ would be used exclusively and our talents were not going to be needed. We then went to St. Joan or Arc in Yorktown where we were contacted to help the folks at Ft. Eustis Catholic Chapel. We grew spiritually and supported other Churches including St Jerome's in Newport News and Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha in Tabb, VA. We were then requested to become the Music Directors for many years at Kateri's. We had so many people participate in our group at Kateri's. We had: Trumpets; clarinets. violins, guitars (including Bass), keyboard, flutes, and baritones. Our voices were tremendous. I felt we created an incredible foundation and we decided to move to Denver Colorado in 2001. We participated with Sprit of Christ Catholic Church in Arvada. We missed the East Coast and the Ocean. The mountains were awesome but we and they were lacking water. In 2003 we returned to the Virginia Peninsula. We were approached to do all the services and politely declined. Knowing how grueling it was to play at all three services I asked the current music Director if we could just play at Saturday services since it would give her a day off. Since then we have been playing at Kateri's since 2003. We have recently been requested to do work with the teenagers again. We now have some really talented young people that really give of themselves to their congregation. We are so pleased to have these young people again to work with. Now we are being informed that the Bishop of Richmond who came from Hawaii now wants all music instruments (including guitars) other than the Organ and Piano out of the liturgy. I'm not sure what this will mean to giving of our talents to the church. I do not want to sit in church to become a bump on a log. I want to participate. Over 40 years - I am a part of this religious phenomenon created many years ago. My Lord has had a purpose for us and now I am confused that he wants it abandoned. Please pray for our and his guidance.
Thank You, Mike Kurek

Comment:
I know there are many Americans that do not believe in God. This is America and you have that right. I do hope all Americans believe in Life. The continuing holocaust that is occurring in this country goes against everything our fathers and fore-fathers stood for. They fought the likes of Hitler and his methods of destroying Human Life. Here in this country we continue to kill for no reason at all the beautiful babies that will not have a chance at Life. Babies that would have grown to be Grand Sons, Grand Daughters, Sons, Daughters, Presidents, Generals, Soldiers, Musicians, Artists, Baseball Players, Football Players and Human Beings we would have cherished. Somehow there is a mask on the destruction of the Babies. It's called Women's Choice. (Guess What I would want to have a choice ) Who came up with this moniker for the destruction of babies? This is not a church issue this is an American issue. Please help to save these babies, don't look the other way they have no one else to turn to. Lets help Mothers and Fathers that cannot raise them develop themselves to be proud Mothers and Fathers. Dee and I Love our Children (including Julie) and our 3 wonderful Grandchildren. I am not anti democrat but I am against this senseless destruction that they stand for. Please America, Please turn this around for their sake they need you...
