Ministry

This Collection is the most important and Most Personal Music Collection of my Entire Music Career. This collection, which mostly consists of songs composed/Co-Created with God within the past year 2022. It was Motivated and Inspired by the LOVE I developed for a certain Sweet Filipina, namely THE FILIPINA PEA, with whom I chatted over the course of a few months. During that time, I watched Her vlogs from the very first one she released. The more I got to know Her, the More I came to Love Her. The more I observed Her, the more I was attracted to Her. I fell in Love. With,

and because of the Energy that was Generated by my Thoughts and feelings for this Sweet One, I completed the writing of Six Original Songs. The concept of the MINISTRY collection has evolved and now has been expanded to ELEVEN SONGS IN ALL. I plan to release MINISTRY in TWO VOLUMES. Also I have added the Female Vocal contributions of MARTA GARRETT, who will be featured on her own version of Love You Right Now, All The Questions, Is This A Dream and Dear Mother Music. The First Volume will include the songs:

Love You Right Now

Someday I’ll Be

All The Questions

Is This A Dream

I'll Tell You Who She Is

Sweet Girl Pea

Dear Mother Music

Song #1 ALL THE QUESTIONS was recently completed with the Production and Musicianship of JASPER STONE, who played all the Instruments. ALL THE QUESTIONS was recently featured on the Philippine Antics YouTube Channel back in March.

A “Preliminary” Demo Version of Song #2, called Love You Right Now, was released under the Artist Name of Passport Brothers. An Extended Version of this song is included on MINISTRY, under the Artist GEECHEE LION (Featuring Anwar Kinte)

SONG #3- SOMEDAY I’LL BE, was completed in Nashville, Tennessee By Professional Musicians, Producers and Engineers under the Direction of Adam Knight.

Song #4 IS THIS A DREAM will be featured with two versions. One by Anwar Kinte and one by Marta Garrett.

Song #5 I'LL TELL YOU WHO SHE IS was inspired by Filipina Vloggers, including Rubeauti, Sharon Lapu-Lapu, Rowena(Weng), Junabel (aka Filipina Elated), Rica (aka Filipina Petite) and of course, Sweet Pea. I yet hope to have Her sing on this

Song #6 - SWEET GIRL PEA bears the Name of the Sweet Filipina who Inspired me to compose this collection, which I have entitled The MINISTRY. I am sharing here the text of a Message I sent to a couple who stepped up to be two of the few friends I have ever had.

Dear George and Heidi. I know you are probably asleep, but I trust you will see this soon. First of all, thank you for the Custom artwork you made for me. I could use the old cliche "Words cannot express", but that is actually Bullshit in this case. Words CAN express, and here they are from the Heart. Everything that has happened, every exchange of messages, every exchange of gifts, every encounter, whether in person, through a computer screen, a phone call, a video chat, has been with the permission of God. I dare say with the Power of God, a Move of God. I think of Jacob when I describe my recent experiences as "wrestling with an Angel". Perhaps, it was wrestling with Demons. For the last year and a half, since the Sweet One's birthday anniversary (omitted for Privacy), I have been wrestling with my feelings, thoughts, attitudes, perspectives, etc., regarding Who, What, How, Where, and Why I was encountering what I was during my World Tour of Duty on the Battlefield (so-called Life, Love, etc.). During this time I was Inspired and Anointed by God to Manifest some of my Greatest and Most Significant Music and Creativity. This I have come to recognize and declare these and this as Gifts of God. I feel called and Compelled by God to Fully allow the Energy to Naturally Flow and be Transmitted and Expressed. The woman pictured in the Artwork you sent me (Personal Note…this Artwork will be the Cover of the Album MINISTRY) was and IS the main catalyst, the Main Ingredient in that Inspiration and what I have come to produce and share recently. I have done my best to be respectfully discreet about it, as I have generally just acted and displayed according to what is my true Nature, which is a Lover, a Full-Spectrum Lover, not just of the Carnal variety. As I am in the midst of creating and manifesting this Musical collection, which has been Christened The MINISTRY, I have envisioned the various ways I would disseminate its fruits. Of course, I would make it available by Digital Download, streaming on Geechee Lion Radio (Coming Soon), and a Limited Edition CD Package. On that CD package I envisioned artwork such as what you have created and shared with me, portraying me and my Beloved in various scenarios and aspects of the Ministry. By looking at various meanings of the word, a MINISTRY involves Personal Service, Support, Duty, Work(Labor), and Love, as a necessity, with the Respect for God. These qualities I have always seen (and even more so lately) in the Filipina. Those qualities were in abundance in the early society and culture of Black people up until the 60s at least. No one could have given you this vision except God. I did not mention it to anyone. Perhaps you can share with me how you did it, and if it is God's Will I can manifest the Visions in my mind... And Once Again, Thank you my Friends. 

Song #7 DEAR MOTHER MUSIC is another Special Tribute to the Woman I have long considered to be my Musical Mother, CAROLE KING, who is most famous for her songs, IT’S TOO LATE and YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A NATURAL WOMAN. I decided this week that I would play all the Instruments, as Carole would have done with a Solo Piano piece. I played the Piano/Strings and programmed the Drums and Percussion. And I am singing, but also set to have MARTA GARRETT to do a version.

DEAR MOTHER MUSIC was released in Time for MOTHER’S DAY.

Songs #8 through #11 will not have the titles revealed now, as they are works in progress. However, these songs I feel are necessary to complete the MINISTRY Collection.
