Another song that John is looking forward to recording has been written for his daughter, Jane Marie, and her husband to be, Logan for the celebration of the beginning of their married life together...."Starting Now".

A third song on the CD, "Always: talks about the importance of trusing in Jesus. At the end of each day....remember to say...."Lord, I trust in you....Always".

This CD will contain an exciting line up of original music that utilizes simple piano, guitar and voice all the way to more elaborate orchestrations and original ideas. One thing that can be said about John's music is that there is always a good mix of musical ideas from the start to the finish. Again....this CD may be considered a combination of John's heartfelt experiences in his walk with Christ as well as several songs that can be used for liturgy as well as praise and worship.]]> http://johngrassadonia.com/news.html#27 Sun, 15 Aug 2010 00:00:00 -0700 Changing Music in America...... - JOHN GRASSADONIA - News http://johngrassadonia.com/news.html#26 http://johngrassadonia.com/news.html#26 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0700 Changing Music in America...... - JOHN GRASSADONIA - News http://johngrassadonia.com/news.html#28 www.Facebook.com or www.4marks.com
let's be friends!]]> http://johngrassadonia.com/news.html#28 Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0700 Changing Music in America...... - JOHN GRASSADONIA - News http://johngrassadonia.com/news.html#25 .....And it happened that while He was with them at table, He took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized Him. Luke 24:30

This is a modern day story of Emmaus; so powerful that it must be told so that all may be convinced that Christ dwells amongst us and manifests Himself through the gift of the Holy Spirit which He has left for all of us. Simply look and you shall see Him, seek and you shall find Him, knock and the door shall be opened to him.

This the story where Pope John Paul II came to John in a dream and asked if he wanted to work for him. That lead to John going to the Pope's funeral.....and life since.
