SOLO: Musicians and groups. "Jack Reacher." Alison Balsom. Maracaibo.

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you!At some level we all want to be the lone wolf, to prove ourselves as individuals. That’s not all bad. But it’s not all good either.This week we will discuss the relationship between musical groups and their members who go solo, and what that has to do with the church; the ethos of Jack Reacher (who does not resemble Tom Cruise in the slightest); how an Englishwoman is changing the way I think about trumpeters; and why I continue to let a terrific solo game languish on the shelf. Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the host of the Citizen of Heaven podcast. You are encouraged to seek him and the Lakewoods Drive church through Facebook and other social media.
