If You Like Instrumental Piano...Check This Out!

Stanton Lanier at FamilyLife on Sept. 26
If you are like me (and I know I am), then you love instrumental piano music!  It is so soothing and relaxing to listen and just soak it all in!

The FamilyLife staff in Little Rock had the great privilege of getting a free concert from Stanton Lanier on Wednesday, Sept. 26th.  Stanton has a long term friendship with one of FamilyLife Leaders and made a trip to Little Rock to glorify God through his incredible gift of music!

I had actually never heard of Stanton Lanier before this concert.....but believe me, I will tell lots of folks about him from now on!

Our son, Caleb, who is a piano player himself, came with me to work that day so we could hear the free concert at lunchtime.  Stanton took some time with Caleb afterwards (as well as some of the other staff kids) to talk to him about his piano experience and to encourage him to continue learning and growing as a piano player!  We ended up buying 3 of his CDs and a music book of one of the CDs so Caleb could begin to learn some of the songs!

Below is a YouTube video of Stanton playing a great piece (he writes almost all of the music he performs) - know you will enjoy it!


You can find out more about him and his ministry, Music to Light the World, at the link below.  And just FYI, for every CD they sell from their website, they donate 1 to a child with Cancer.
