Michael Tolf: News

Life is challenging! You may be thinking...Michael, tell me something I don't know.

OK - that was a pretty obvious statement. However, the temptaion to slow down, compromise...or even quit - is always there.

When life doesn't go our way...what do we do? Sometimes, I just have a good cry. Other times...a good laugh. Sometimes, I go dancing :) Other times, I just have a great chat with a friend.

I want to encourage you ALL to keep sowing good seed into your life, and into the lives of all you meet. It's an awesome way to live!

And, I know it's tough at times...to be positive, to stay the course and continue to do what God has called you to do. When your heart gets broken, when life seems un-fair, when you're lost and alone...or simply hoping to have money for groceries, it can be tough to focus on "sewing good seed". But, this is what we are called to do, as believers in Christ. And, He has promised to give us the strength we need (Isaiah 40: 28-31).

So, follow your heart...when God puts a call on your life - it's for life that He calls you to "Just Do It", as Nike would say. Be encouraged...we have an awesome Savior!!

Have an awesome summer...

Love,
Michael

Hello Everyone!

I am very excited to share with you all, that my new album "The Season Of Love" is finally completed! Soon, I'll have it available for purchase, through my web-site.

To pick up a copy, meanwhile, you can e-mail or call me. To hear clips from my new album, just click on Music/Lyrics from the menu.

You can also come & enjoy the celebration at my "CD Release Concert" on Sunday night, July 3rd, in the quaint town of Maltby....details are on my 'Calendar' page.

My producer/guitar player Frederic Moreau, has put in countless hours on this project - and he did a fantastic job! The final mix is quite amazing, in my humble opinion.

Most of the songs on this project are ones that I've written in the last 3-5 years. Others, like "My Stand", "All Of The Praise", "I Can Reach Out To You" and "His Mercy", are ones that God gave me 10-20 years ago.

On this album I'm blessed to have the gifts of some of my closest and most talented friends. Frederic Moreau plays electric & acoustic guitar, drums & percussion, saxophone, clarinet, the recorder - and he sings back up on "The Season Of Love". WOW!! Did I mention he's also producing the album? I'm so thankful for his many gifts.

Brian Pryor, who is one of the most awesome dudes in my life, plays bass guitar on this project. Brian has been very influential in my music/spiritual life since I was very young.

Megan Moreau sings back up vocals on most of the album. Megan has a killer voice that can lull you to sleep or wake you up in a hurry. Singing with her is always a joy! Megan also has the gift of songwriting, and has blessed so many with her music when she's joined me for a concert.

Monique Moreau also sings back up vocals. I've been singing with Monique for many, many years and she is a joy to have in my life. She's one of my closest friends - and wisest I might add.

Faith Ockwell plays an amazing violin on 4 of the tracks. She came into the studio, sat down with Frederic and played what was in her heart. I was amazed - and you will be too!

Yours Truly plays keyboard on 10 of the songs, and acoustic guitar on the other 5 tracks. They (the band) also made me sing the lead vocal (no one else wanted to).

If you browse through my music/lyric page, you'll find the lyrics to all the songs on "The Season Of Love". So...enjoy!!
