Packhorse Blues

Packhorse Blues is from a collection of original songs, written, recorded, and performed by me, Pastor Dion Todd, at Refreshing Hope Ministries: www.refreshinghope.org. When we began having live meetings on the Internet, I looked for copyright-free music to stream live during the service, but it was quite a mess of permissions and royalties to do it right. In the midst of this, the Lord suddenly began giving me my own songs, so we didn’t have to worry about using other people’s music. The songs often come to me in a dream at night or while writing devotionals. I just kind of hear them playing in my head, so I get up and write them down. They are recorded right here at RHM. I converted one of our bedrooms into a small recording studio and work from there. I have a long way to go and a lot to learn yet, but I am enjoying the journey. It is fun to create something from nothing. The music here reflects my own roots growing up, the struggle of living a Godly life in a sinful world, and at the same time, having nothing else to depend on but the Lord’s unchanging faithfulness. I grew up listening to Rock and Roll in the Bible Belt. This music is kind of a blend of that upbringing.  Anyway, I hope that you enjoy the music that we have created here and that it blesses you in some way. If we can put a smile on someone’s face, encourage them, and give them hope to carry on another day, that is payment enough. Freely I received, and freely I give. Free Music for Everyone! (If ads appear on the videos, they are not ours, nor do we receive money from them.) ~ Dion Todd You can find more of our music at: https://www.refreshinghope.org/blogs/music
