5/21 Update:</b><br />
<b><br />
</b>We are 20 days into the plunge with our new choir music-video, which is up
on YouTube, Instagram, Spotify, Google-play, Itunes etc. We've cracked the 5K
mark on YouTube and several choir directors from coast to coast have petitioned
me for manuscripts so that their choirs can learn/sing the song as well.<br />
<br />
I participated in an OCP Webinar which shoulld be available soon. Also, I was
interviewed by St. Joseph Radio on the Christ Cathedral campus and this
interview is set for broadcast this coming Saturday morning, 5/23 at 9:30am
PST. In the SoCal area tune into 930am, Relavant Radio. (It will be available
in Podcast form shortly after broadcast and I'll post that link here.) Rick
Howick hosted the interview and we included Ariana Garcia, mother of an 8th
grade school choir member, and Cynthia Morehouse who gave us the perspective of
an adult choir member.<br />
<br />
While we are all hoping for greater exposure for this great music-video, it has
already surpassed all expectations and done great things for St. Joachim
Church and School!<br />
<b><br />
5/2 Update:</b><br />
<br />
Greetings! What a great day it is!<br />
<br />
It was just a month ago when I sent out a mass email to all St. Joachim music
ministers letting them know the sad news that we would not be singing together
for Holy Week. This is our 'Super-Bowl' and we would miss being together for
these important liturgies. Holy Thursday with its beautiful Eucharistic
procession, Good Friday, with its impassioned tones and massive turnout, Easter
Vigil, where the choir has front row seats as dozens of new Catholics are
baptized, and then finally a very festive Easter morning with a horn quartet,
Easter bonnetts and a joyous rendition of 'He Is Risen'. All of this lost to a
dangerous, invisible virus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: #191919; font-size: 8.5pt;">That email ended with
these sponteneous words: 'What a great day it will be when we sing together
again!' Within minutes after hitting 'send' those words had a tune, and within
hours it was developing into a full fledged song, and within a day I was
passing a full arrangement around to my fellow 'Southern California Composers
Forum' peeps for review. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: #191919; font-size: 8.5pt;">I then got it to the
choir and we swung into action immediately to get a solid recording going. 9 of
us showed up on March 31st for a 'social-distance' outdoor rehearsal followed
by a base-line recording in the church. It was all videotaped. (Don't worry! We
kept our social distance!) The folllowing Thursday, April 2nd Frank Calabretta
and I set up an outdoor, drive-by recording station beside Nevin Hall. About 15
members of the student choir and many members of the adult choirs pulled up in
their cars and sang the part they had learned at home online, all of it
recorded and videotaped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: #191919; font-size: 8.5pt;">This gave us the critical
mass necessary for a great recording, though Frank had his hands full, purging
from all recorded tracks all the extraneous outdoor sounds of such things as
passing aircraft, passing cars, motorcycles, sirens, and a noisy flock of
parrots!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: #191919; font-size: 8.5pt;">After all that, we took
on the task of collecting Zoom recordings from both student and adult choir
members who couldn't make it by our outdoor recording station. This added a
little more beef to the sound and enabled us to include many more faces in the
final product. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: #191919; font-size: 8.5pt;">Frank spent days
synchronizing all these varied tracks together. He has been tireless in his
efforts to get this all to work under some of the craziest recording conditions
ever. He was the one with all the 'homework' after long recording days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: #191919; font-size: 8.5pt;">After all this, the audio
tracks went to Rich Mouser, who has done most of the post-production on our 3
prior CD's. Frank had already taken care of much of the post production this
time around, lightening the load on Rich. We finished the audio mix on April
15, just over 2 weeks after the song was written.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: #191919; font-size: 8.5pt;">Countless hours of
video-tape which were recorded during the process by Frank, as well as my
daughter, Colleen, landed on the lap of Joe McDonald, a parishioner and
videographer who volunteered his time/expertise to the task of sorting through
all of this and come up with a great video to go with the new song.<br />
<br />
This went from nothing, to an idea, to a song, to a recording w/video on
YouTube in just over 4 weeks! (This under the duress of quarentine!) The one
great thing about recording during this time has been the answer most everyone
has given me as I ask for favor-upon-favor: 'Sure, what else have I got to do?'<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: #191919; font-size: 8.5pt;">You're going to love this
song along with all those familiar St. Joachim Paarish/School faces in the mix!
Be sure to shower it with 'likes' and 'shares' as I think this is a song the
whole world needs to hear right now!</span><br />

I have recently been diagnosed with Meniere's Disease which is a disfunction of
the middle ear on my left side. The effect thus far has been an appreciable
loss of responsiveness in the mid to low range frequencies. I've been through
many treatments thus far including inter-ear cortosone injections and a
complete MRI to rule out the presence of a tumor. I continue treatment now with
a low salt/low sugar diet, a regiment of dietary supplements and a series of
experimental drugs, each of which I will try out, one at a time. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: #191919; font-size: 8.5pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243); line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: #191919; font-size: 8.5pt;"><b>Update: 2022: </b>At this point I'm getting along with a bit of a compromise between growing accustomed to the new normal while keeping this new normal under control via diet/supplements. I'm 4 years into this and managing OK. I still look into any new developments regarding this condition. In doing so I learned that Huey Lewis (of 'The News') has a more pronounced version of this condition and had some words concerning it to this effect: The medical definition of Meniere's Disease is: We don't know what the hell is going on! I'm hoping that this changes, but making the best of things in the meantime.</span></div>

of July I feel moved to post it here. 'America the Beautiful' is among the
greatest marriages of text and music ever written in the English language. This
article tells the unlikely story of how the text met the music. Divine
providence? I thinks so! <a href="https://www.steynonline.com/11426/america-the-beautiful" target="_blank">Click Here</a></span></div>

<b><br /></b><b>In addition to celebrating the new CD with a concert we also celebrated my 25th anniversary as Music Director here at St. Joachim Church! I was modestly lampooned with old photos and stories from my sister that Frank Consoli dug up. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Yes, it was about this time 25 years ago that I packed up my green truck with all things musical and a few things to wear, left Colorado behind and headed for CA. I was after a crazy "banjo" dream, but God had other plans.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>After sending out many resumes I was hired part time at St. Joachim's and my only responsibility was to cover music for the Sunday evening mass. That went pretty well and the job description slowly hemorrhaged into its current form. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I love this work which nicely combines my love of music with my love for the Catholic faith. While following Christ into this avocation meant getting by on a modest income, the personal benefits have been incredible, as are the people who I am privileged to work with in creating music each week.

My professional level banjo playing is a thing of the past due to an overuse injury, but my former band-mate, Barry Thorpe, passed along some rare footage of my banjo antics from early 1990. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60Hwad-pQFw">Click here </a>and you'll see/hear an aspiring Bela Fleck junkie with the band "Shrink-to-Fit".<br />

Kennedy. (The crucifix hovering all of these)<br />

<b>Speaking of new CDs,</b> <b>you must pick up the new School Choir CD! </b><br />

"Good and Faithful Servant" has been distributed in OCPs' choral packet #75 making it known and available to choirs everywhere in the English speaking world.

"I'll Follow" CD sales have surpassed <b>600</b> mark! That might just be a "teflon" record according to Billboard standards! I believe that sales will more or less stay around there unless and until I can get something more substantial happening in the publishing world.<br />
<br />
There is a great review of the "I'll Follow" CD up at a Catholic music website called the Grapevine. Click <a href="http://www.gvonline.net/reviews-cd.html#everson-follow">here</a> to dial it up. It's rather short, but flattering none the less. (Look it up under "A" for Andrew, not "E" for Everson) The same review has also appeared at <a href="http://www.catholic.net/index.php?size=mas&id=5184&option=dedestaca">Catholic.net. </a>This article though, allows you to comment on the review, so go on and say something nice!<br />

I can also get people started on some quirky world instruments like the Andean Charango, or the Chinese Er-Hu.<br />
<br />
Mo's has many great guitar instructors, so I generally teach guitar only to those who are interested in my particular style of playing which is fashioned after the late, great Chet Atkins. (It's a hybrid classical/folk technique using a thumb-pic and just two fingers.)<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Mo's Fullerton Music: </b></h3>
Mo's is one of the last great "Non Super-Chain" music stores around and has a full selection of instruments, sheet-music and gifts. (Not to mention lessons with FANTASTIC teachers!) It's a great stop if you are ever in downtown Fullerton.<br />
<br />
If you'd like to inquire about lessons with me or any other teacher, contact the store at 714-871-1805 or click the name of the store above to drop an email.<br />

<b>RIP Little Green Pick-up Truck!</b></h3>
<b><br /></b>
<b>The humble green '82 Volkswagon Rabbit Pick-up truck had quite a journey as is documented below. It breathed its last on northbound 57 freeway just short of the Lincoln Ave. exit with a final odometer reading of 424,562.15 miles. </b><b> (Additionally there was a 6 month stretch a while back when the odometer was not functioning.)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The wondrous truck lost its gear-box and rolled to its final stop on the evening of St. Andrew's day, November 30th 2014! Finding parts has become increasingly difficult and we will now retire this beloved vehicle.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The <u>silver</u> lining is that I happened upon a <u>white</u> truck which was identical and had just 70,000 miles! It needed a few parts which were taken from the green truck, so as an organ donor the green truck will live on in a small way, and its "mission from God" will continue. (The green truck now resides in my garage and will be used for parts in the coming years.) Scroll to the bottom for more details on the truck's last day)</b><br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Purchase</b><br />
In 1989 while still living in Colorado Springs, CO, I bought a 1982 Volkswagon Rabbit Diesel Pick-up Truck with an odometer reading of 112,000 miles from a meat inspector for the FDA. (During the test drive, he went on and on about how many “bug parts” per million were allowed in the ground beef.) I purchased the truck for $1200 hoping that it would be large enough to carry me and all my music gear to CA, where I planned on becoming the 1st international rock star on the 5 string banjo.<br />
<br />
<strong>“Good Bye” Party</strong><br />
Plans for moving to CA came to fuition, and on my last night in Colorado Springs, my friends and family all came to a “going away” party at which I had all of my gear lined up behind my new truck in order of importance. At the front of the line were the things I absolutely needed like an Ome 5 st. banjo, a vintage Fender Twin amp, a vintage Martin O-18 guitar, a 200 year old violin and a Vintage Fender Telecaster. Toward the back of the line were things I could perhaps do without. (furniture, clothing, grooming products, etc…)<br />
<br />
We all packed the truck at the end of the party, and I gave the stuff at the end of the line which did not fit in the truck to my guests. (If they wanted it!) The truck was so stuffed that I actually gave away a fairly decent Mandolin that was situated toward the back of the line. (You would think I could have crammed such a small instrument in there somewhere, but no!)<br />
<br />
<strong>The Trip</strong><br />
<br />
On the way out I stopped briefly (5 minutes) to see Las Vegas and wonder “why?”, had my first encounter with a desert, and I recall my first terrifying trip down El Cahon pass into Southern Cal as Bela Fleck played “Tell it to the Governer” on my cassette tape player. It was a perfect match.<br />
<br />
In my first few months in Orange County, I began work at two churches (St. Joachim and Blessed Sacrament), was playing fiddle in a Western Swing band called the Electric Tumbleweeds, and was beginning to find musicians to perform my odd banjo music. (I'm fairly certain that I was the only one working this sort of combination.) I also kept in touch with my “fiance to be,” Diane, and went out to see her in Colorado occasionally.<br />
<br />
<strong>Deserted in the Desert</strong><br />
<br />
12 hours into a trip home from seeing Diane in Colorado I lost power going up a hill in the Mojave Desert and pulled over. Only then did I notice that I had totally overheated the motor. I was towed into the lovely town of Barstow, CA, where I had to make a quick decision. Do I leave the truck there with all of the other vehicular carcasses or do I get it fixed?<br />
<br />
I took a bus home where two choir members (Ruth and Lupe) helped me to get back on my feet, and I came back to get the truck in my band-mate’s pick-up truck with my good friend and producer Rich. A few thousand dollars and two mechanics later, the truck was rolling again with a new motor, and I wondered at 125K if I had made a good decision. 23 years later, (2014) she had over 420.000 miles.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Stop! Theif!!!</strong><br />
My wife and I were fast asleep at 3:00 one morning when we were suddenly awakened by the unmistakable sound of that diesel motor firing up outside. I ran out of the house in my skivies hollering and screaming as the thief was pulling away as quickly as he could in such a vehicle. At a very casual pace, the police arrived at the scene of the crime, and I quickly realized that this was really no big deal (to them).<br />
<br />
After surviving several days without the truck, and missing it dearly, we finally got a call from the police in Ceritos informing me that I could (for a price) come and retrieve my truck. While I was glad to hear the good news I couldn't help but wonder if the car thieves and the impound lots weren’t co-conspirators in the crime.<br />
<br />
<strong>Jim Edmond’s Carpet!</strong><br />
Dilapidated as the old truck may be, I’ll have you know that the truck bed is lined with a carpet scrap from the home of all star baseball slugger, Jim Edmonds. His Mother (Katy Loving) and Grandfather (Joe McCarthy) both sing in the St. Joachim Music Ministry, and when Jimmy had new carpet installed in his house his grandfather brought me a sizable piece of the old one for my truck bed. (You can touch it if you like!)<br />
<br /></div>

<div>
<strong>Did You Paint Your Truck White?</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div>
<strong></strong></div>
<div>
Just before Easter 2010 I bumped into an old friend at church who owns a truck just like mine, with 2 exceptions: It it is white and the mileage was only 68K! He had offered to sell me this truck several times in the past but I had always told him "no thanks, my trusty green truck runs just fine". This time was different. He told me that he had just listed the truck in the paper and the add was due out on the following Tuesday. This was my last chance to purchase a very low mileage copy of my own trusty vehicle, which was still running beautifully. What to do?</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I called Marc, my trusty mechanic, to get some solid advice and he put it to me like this: "Buy the truck, you idiot! When the green truck finally dies, park it in your garage and use it for parts. You'll probably get 400-500K out of the white truck as well! This is the cheapest transportation money can buy!"</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
So, no, I did not have the green truck painted! I own two identical trucks and I await the demise of the high mileage green one while I drive them both about equally. (Watch and wait, as the high mileage green outlasts the low mileage white!) The green one still runs fantastically well and I anticipate that it just might make the half million mark. Who knows how far it will go? It's always been on a "Mission from God"!<br />
<br />
<b>The Demise</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
As I was returning from a full slate of Sunday masses, traveling northbound on the 57 freeway the truck suddenly slipped out of gear. I tried reengaging a few times as I moved to the right, and with no luck getting it into gear I rolled to a stop just short of the Lincoln Ave.exit. I had just been thinking along the way about how many more years it would have to last to make it to 500K. 2 to 3 years would've done it.<br />
<br />
I then had it towed to my mechanic, Marc, who looked it over and then called me down to his shop. I was hoping to hear him say that a simple adjustment to the clutch cable did the trick and I could get right back on the road! However he met me in the parking lot and with his hat over his heart he said "Andrew, I think it's time." He COULD fix it, but acquiring parts would be very costly this time around.<br />
<br />
<b>And it happened on St. Andrew's day!</b> Perhaps Andrew was watching over it, seeing to it that I got through all the masses of his feast day before allowing the final blow which would take out this marvel of transportation. Mission from God? You bet! I hope that this mission continues as the green truck provides vital internal organs to the white truck on its journey forward.<br />

<b><br /></b>
<br />
World Library Publications is currently in the process of publishing 5 of my songs: Call On The Lord (3/17) Heaven and Earth Are Wed (8/17) Water (11/17) The Ound of One Voice (3/18) and Do Not Let Your Hearts Be Troubled (11/18)<br />
<br />
My last song published by OCP was "Good and Faithful Servant" and has done reasonably well. Near as I can tell there have been some changes, both in personel and in publishing priorities at OCP. Oregon Catholic Press has thus far published four of my works. (Give Jesus a Dwelling Place, He is Risen and Canticle of Zacahariah are the other three.)<br />
<br />
I have been contacting those choirs nationwide which I think would be inclined to perform my music, based on their repertoire and style. Many of them have a submissions process of their own and I am sending each choir the music which I believe suits their style.<br />
<br />
I also continue writing and springing new songs on St. Joachim choir and church, as well as the school choir. The home-page has great recordings of the school choir singing arrangements of mine like "The Star Spangled Banner"and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" in addition to the School Choir CD which includes my arrangements of covers such as "Lean On Me"and "He Ain't Heavy".Andrew Eversonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07288808852975973902noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3036559494518955070.post-49866006138358087682010-02-27T22:40:00.000-08:002017-01-06T19:10:39.241-08:00St. Joachim Choirs<center>

I direct 3 choirs for St. Joachim Parish and all of them are active in serving the community on Sundays throughout the year. (With a little break in the Summer). <br />

<br />
The morning choir sings each week at the 10:00 mass. Accompanied by Piano, Guitar and Organ with ocasional violin, a small but mighty chorus knocks out everything from Chant to traditional hymns to contemporary songs to the colorful pieces by yours truly! <br />
<br />
The evening choir has a repertoire that leans more heavily toward the contemporary. Lots of the music comes from popular Catholic artists such as Tom Booth, Matt Maher and Steve Angisano, while we still use plenty of the more established works of contemporary Cathlolic composers. We usually have about 15-20 vocalists with a full praise band. (Gtr, Piano, Bass, Drums and percussion. ) <br />
<br />
<br />
I co-direct the student choir with Jill Cavanaugh and they perform about 8 Sunday masses per year. (More on that below) <br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong></strong><strong></strong><strong>Ancient History</strong> <br />
<br />
I began the music ministry at St. Joachim in the fall of 1990 when I took on the task of creating an ensemble for the Sunday evening youth mass. I knew that I had the skills to do this and I needed some part-time work. I realized right away that I would have to take this work VERY seriously when I met my new boss/pastor Fr. Ken Krause. Every meeting or conversation with him was a tremendous learning experience as he helped to deepen my understanding of Liturgy and how music can best enhance the mass. Personalities like Bob Felde (Bass/Vocal) Greg Smith (Gtr) and Pamela Valaika (Vocal) helped get things going and we were soon able to create a decent sound.<br />
<br />

Things went well at the evening mass and in the Spring of 1991, I was asked to take on the role of Music Director for the whole parish, which included a Sunday morning choir. Personalities like Lupe Teel, Skip James, Ruth Mckeon, Swithin Lindbeck, Monica Irwin, Karen Francis and Matt Lloyd, and my “wife-to-be” Diane Reed conspired to form the nucleus of the music ministry, often performing at both morning and evening masses as the ministry began to take shape Eventually we had just enough members to cover both morning and evening masses with a good size group. (Enough to at least split into Soprano, Alto and Tenor/Baritone sections at each mass)<br />
<br />
This was no small task for a parish that has a rather small English speaking community. I also insisted that the groups sing together for large events like Christmas and Holy Week. Most parishes I knew of at the time had no contact whatsoever between the traditional morning choir and the ensembles which served at other masses. I’ve always felt that this was a waste of good talent. While some have more traditional skills like sight-reading and classically trained voices, others have better improvisational skills, and some people have both. Some folks have a little natural talent, and just need to be “in the game” a while before they catch on and become great contributors. All types have conspired to make this ministry unique and powerful. <br />

<b>Music on Sundays & Holy Days at St. Joachim</b> <br />
<b><br /></b>
From early September through late June both masses have excellent music and a deep bench of talented singers and instrumentalists. Come celebrate with us at 10:00am (Family mass with traditional/contemporary music) or 5:00pm masses (Youth centered contemporary selections, chosen and performed in a VERY Catholic way). <br />
<br />
The 5:30 Saturday evening mass is covered by our parish cantor Bernadette Kanaly and our parish organist Chris Montoya, who also perform with the 10:00 choir. They perform at many of the weddings here, and also cover the music for most of the Funeral masses. (Except those odd weddings and funerals for families who actually want a GUITARIST!) The 6:30am Sunday mass is without music except on Christmas and Easter, and the assembly appears to like it this way! (It’s quicker!) <br />
<br />
Each Thanksgiving, Holy Thursday and Easter Vigil, the English music ministry combines its talents with the Hispanic choir, which I've been leading since 2014. (That's another story!) We have some of the best Bi-lingual masses anywhere here at St. Joachim! <br />
<br />
During July and August masses are typically covered by our summer duets. It’s just myself and one other choir member as we drop it into low gear for about 8 weeks. It’s a different, but very good sound, and it allows me to get to know some of my hard working choir members a little better. The down time also affords me the time to prepare for the next choir season. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Active, Longstanding Members</b> <br />
<b><br /></b>
Along the way, many members have come into the ministry and stuck with it. (Why? I'm not sure!) Long standing current members (In chronological order as best as I can remember) are my wife Diane, Frank Calabretta, Jill and Kevin Cavanaugh, Tim Murphy, Bob Lee, Cynthia Morehouse, Joe McCarthy, Katy Loving, Cheryl Hebestreit, Bernadette Kanaly, Mark Rathsack, Alex Frausto, Mireya Velez, Aileen Penn Briceno, Liza Marmaud, Gene Gleason, and Hilda Fores. The youth mass group has grown considerably lately as teens continue to swell our ranks.<br />
<br />
<b>Outstanding Veterans</b> <strong>of the Past </strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
Fr. Ed Becker, sang tenor and was cantor at many a mass in the mid-late 1990s as he was discerning his vocation. Being called from his career as a lawyer, Ed answered and entered St. John’s Seminary in 2000 and became a diocesan priest in the Spring of 2005. He served as parochial Vicar at St. Pius V church in Buena Park from 2005-2009 and has recently completed Eclesiastical studies in Rome. He served as Pastor of St. Joseph's parish in Santa Ana for a while and is now pastor at Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Habra.<br />
<br />
Martin McSweeney played Bass and Guitar with us in the late ‘90s and went on to receive his bachelors in music at Berkely School of Music in Boston. He returned to Southern Cal and is now serving at St. Agathas Catholic Church in Los Angeles. (Last I checked, he was still single!) St. Agathas is THE Catholic church to attend if you appreciate good Gospel music!<br />
<br />
<b>The Student Choir</b> <br />
<b><br /></b>
The student choir is for all St. Joachim Parish students who are between 4th and 8th grade. It is currently made up primarily of students at St. Joachim School, but is open to all here at St. Joachim Parish. (Bulletin Announcements will tell you when each event is coming.) <br />
<br />
This choir got started in 1998 as I attempted to pull together school talent for school events such as Catholic Schools Week and Graduation Mass. It was pretty hapless and disorganized until I had the good fortune of meeting Jill Cavanaugh, who offered immense help in organization and in co-directing the students. She is very detail oriented, which is absolutely necessary when working with me as a partner! Her vocal skills help to facilitate the choirs ability to sing in 2 and 3 part harmony and her experience as a classroom teacher helped immensely in understanding the needs of kids this age and in communicating with parents. <br />
<br />
This partnership has been quite fruitful for the parish as the student choir typically sings at Sunday mass closest to "All Saints Day", Christmas eve 5:00 mass, Catholic Schools Week mass on the last Sunday of each January, mass on the 2nd Sunday of Lent, Good Shepherd Sunday during Easter season, the School 1st Communion mass and the School Graduation mass each year. The Student choir also performs at the annual Diocesan Choir Festival each May. Many members also go on to sing in the Youth Choir at 5:00 on Sundays.

Some of our best stuff ever! Don't miss our latest offering with 13 superbly written, performed, and recorded songs from Andrew Everson. Sales are off to a brisk start, especially considering how difficult it is these days to market a "CD" in a flurry of on-line alternatives.<br />
<br />
Five of these songs are now published by World Library Publications! ("Call On The Lord", "Heaven and Earth Are Wed", "Water", "The Sound of One Voice" and "Do Not Let Your Hearts Be Troubled".<br />
<br />
We still believe in the "Album Package" with art-work, credits and all the trappings that should surround a great collection of recordings. A 7 minute montage of clips from the album can be heard by clicking <a href="https://app.box.com/s/attbfqg8jtuz567btslk">HERE</a>. </div>

Here was a great review of the "I'll Follow" CD up at a Catholic music website. It's rather short, but flattering none the less, and can be accessed here at <a href="http://catholicmom.com/2010/05/25/andrew-everson-and-the-st-joachim-music-ministry-ill-follow-catholic-cd-review/">Catholic,com</a> . This article allows you to comment on the review, so go on and say something nice!<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The manuscripts for “<a href="http://www.box.net/shared/z1vt2att1s">Give Jesus a Dwelling Place</a>” “<a href="http://www.box.net/shared/s3yyeflunh">He is Risen</a>”and “<a href="http://www.box.net/shared/1mdbouuv1g">Good and Faithful Servant</a>” have been selling briskly and several other hot cuts like “<a href="http://www.box.net/shared/a2dm2bmskp">Jesus!</a>”, “<a href="http://www.box.net/shared/uajrs9c0tp">From the Wood of a Manger</a>” and have been submitted for publication.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another song included is “<a href="http://www.box.net/shared/mep940au5l">When Angels Sound the Trumpets Call</a>," a collaboration combining the music of Andrew Everson with a vibrant apocalyptic text by Steven Ottomani. Steven was the winner of the 2008 National Pastoral Musicians Hymn writing contest, who also has songs published by OCP, Pepper music and others. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This album, like the one before it was recorded by Jim Monroe, and Rich Mouser, who also mixed and mastered the CD with Andrew Everson. Soloists include Bernadette Kanaly, Cynthia Morehouse, Liza Marmaud, Aileen Penn Briceno, and Andrew. The St. Joachim Music Ministry performs all of the choral works. The instruments are also played by the capable hands of our own St. Joachim musicians. </div>

The settings are all what we call "Andrewisms" which usually means that they will be a bit odd. Many of them are well known texts such as “<a href="http://www.box.net/shared/ofna5hayi9">If Today You Hear His Voice</a>” and “<a href="http://www.box.net/shared/yc6l6h3rzd">The Lord is My Light</a>," while many others are the more obscure texts (which only come up once every three years) like “<a href="http://www.box.net/shared/l6ninbsxyh">You Are A Priest Forever</a>” and “<a href="http://www.box.net/shared/3j7hxf9edz">You Are </a><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/3j7hxf9edz">My Inheritance</a>." All are given equally vibrant settings. </div>

It is full of powerful music and is a very prayerful listening experience. The first cut “<a href="http://www.box.net/shared/u8pqxlrh3m">Canticle of Zechariah</a>” has been published and is available from OCP. Mezzo-soprano Helena Buscema, cantor at St. Monica’s Catholic Church in Santa Monica adds her hauntingly beautiful voice to the mix, while the St. Joachim Music Ministry performs all of the choral works. </div>

This album features the best of “Banjo in a Briefcase” combined with the new “Southern Cal” recordings. Due to a condition diagnosed as "Focal Dystonia" I was unable to complete the final cuts on my beloved 5 str. Banjo, so they were finished using other instruments in my arsenal like fiddle and guitar. (Please click <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3036559494518955070#editor/target=page;pageID=3741902123079286959;onPublishedMenu=pages;onClosedMenu=pages;postNum=0;src=pagename">HERE</a> to learn more about the condition which torpedoed my banjo playing) Packed with energy and passion, this album sets positive minded lyrics to some VERY original music which features the banjo in a "Bela Fleck" meets "Yes" style. (If you can imagine that!)</div>

<b>The Pizza Song</b> </div>
<div>
Those familiar with this recording from the 1980s have officially dubbed this the National Anthem of Pizza. In a “Weird Al” sort of way, Andrew presents the many assets of pizza on the crust of his usually “rockin" banjo. Click <a href="https://app.box.com/file/2889548071?s=758799d517c2271f6d94" target="_blank">The Pizza Song</a> to listen or download a free mp3 copy. </div>

Dr. Dimento is the only executive of any sort that has expressed any interest in the song, but it’s good for a few chuckles. </div>

<strong>The Life of Christ in Song</strong> (Live Recording available at St. Joachim Church) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few of these are still left from a concert which took place in 2002. Though a little rough on the edges, it does capture some of that elusive “live” energy that is hard to get in the studio. The Album features a Marc Robinson rendition of “Prepare Ye” which has become a staple at St. Joachim during the Advent season. Other favorites such as “Glory in the Cross” by Stephen Janco, The Servant Song by Gillard, and the Taize “Jesus Remember Me” highlight moments in the life of Christ.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This album was recorded, mixed and mastered by our own Frank Calabretta and Martin McSweeney and as of now can only be purchased at St. Joachim church. </div>

It was our first crack at a studio recording which turned out quite well and sold about 400 copies.</div>

I have been Director of Music at St. Joachim Catholic Church in Costa Mesa CA since 1990. There I direct 4 choirs and manage music for weddings, funerals and masses/liturgies of all sorts. The majority of my energies are poured into the 10:00am and 5:00pm English masses each Sunday as well as the 12:00 Spanish Choir.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also teach Music Appreciation to grades K-5 for St. Joachim School. Through the years I have served under 4 pastors and 4 school principals.<br />
<br />
<br />
I play most Stringed and percussion instruments and sing tolerably well. To that end I spend two afternoons per week offering private lessons at Fullerton Music on every stringed instrument ranging from violin/viola/cello to banjo, and mandolin, and even straying further off the beaten path to the Andean Charango and the Chinese Er-hu.<br />
<br />
<br />
Before moving to Southern California I was raised in Colorado Springs Colorado with my 8 brothers and sisters. I graduated from William J Palmer High School in 1979 where I participated in marching band to jazz band, and earned a spot in the '79 edition of "Who's Who In Music". I went on to earn a 2-year <a href="https://mreversonsjs.weebly.com/about-mr-everson.html">degree</a> in broadcasting as a back-up in case things did not work out in music. I soon discovered that both fields were brutally competitive and poured all of my energy into music.<br />
<br />
<br />
Most of my education from this point was private as I studied violin for several years, first with Prescilla Paeche, and then with Don Robinson (Concert Master of the Colorado Springs Symphony) I also took several years of vocal, ear training and composition with Bob Crowder (Colorado Springs Children's Chorale) Growing up I had a big thirst for musical knowledge but not a <a href="https://mreversonsjs.weebly.com/about-mr-everson.html">lot of money</a> to obtain it. My general approach was to make appointments with a variety of great musicians who would spend time with me either pro-bono or cheaply. I would regularly approach a performer after a show and schedule time with them. At age 11 I would take a bus trip accross town to meet with a contact, all on my own dime earned doing odd jobs to support my musical thirst. I can't enumerate how many times this happened for free/really cheap and the cumulative conglomerate of tips, hints, habits and overall knowledge gained from this approach touches everything I write and everything I play. I found that really great musicians are generally quite generous with their time when someone who approaches them for knowledge is serious about learning. (And, perhaps a bit on the desperate side financially!)<br />
<br />
<br />
During all of this time I continued performing with Catholic choirs in and around Colorado Springs including Mount St. Francis, Holy Trinity and St. Mary's Cathedral. I also maintained my passion for all kinds of roots music playing Celtic, Western Swing, Bluegrass, and Romani (Gypsy) music in a number of small bands. I spent most of the early 80s as a pit musician for the Iron Springs Chateau in Manitou Springs which afforded me the opportunity to play all of the instruments I could muster every night. The late 80s were spent in an excellent cover-band called '<a href="https://youtu.be/60Hwad-pQFw">Shrink-to-Fit</a>' which played an incredible variety of Country, Blugrass, and Folk music with a heavy emphasis on vocal harmonies.<br />
<br />
<br />
My most beloved instrument has always been the 5 string banjo and I was forging into uncharted territories with the instrument in the late 1980s. You can see me performing with 'Shrink-To-Fit" on banjo by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60Hwad-pQFw">clicking here.</a><br />

I produced an album (on vinyl!) called Sea to Sea and then a Cassette ('remember those?) called "Banjo in a Breifcase" which showcased the banjo in an alternative rock format. I then moved to Southern CA to persue this project in hopes of becoming the world's 1st rock star on the banjo. (A title which was destined to be held by the great Bela Fleck)<br />
<br />
<br />
I recorded more of this music in Southern CA with Gold Record Producer Richard Mouser and was on my way to showcasing the project in LA when things took a dramatic downturn. A nagging right hand overuse injury called <a href="http://andreweverson.blogspot.com/p/focal-dystonia.html#.U-0vPuNdWSo">Focal Dystonia</a> (click for more details of my saga) slowed my playing to a crawl and after consulting every sort of medical specialist, alternative medicine specialist, Carpal Tunnel MDs and some other goons and Gurus I eventually had to give up this particular dream. I did however, press a CD collection of the best of these works entitled "If I'm Alive", a few of which are still available in the <a href="http://andreweverson.blogspot.com/2010/02/albums.html#.U-5gYeNdWSo">Albums</a> page of <a href="https://mreversonsjs.weebly.com/about-mr-everson.html">my personal website</a>. (sound-clips are there as well)<br />
<br />
<br />
Since then, (1996) the Violin/Fiddle has become my instrument of choice when gigging, and I have blossomed as a music director at St. Joachim Church where Guitar is my primary instrument. I now compose choral music for my choirs and I have had 10 compositions published by Oregon Catholic Press and World Library Publications and, as always, I am seeking publication for more of my work. I also participate regularly with Christopher Walker's "Southern California Liturgical Composers Forum" which meets and focuses on liturgical composition every few months.<br />
<br />
<br />
I reside in Fullerton CA with my wife and four children. I occasionally pull a Celtic gig with my oldest son who backs my fiddling on guitar along with my daughters who sing many favorite Irish songs. (We're called 'Eversons and Daughters'.)<br />

Every song has a story to tell. You can dig in more right here if you are a true junkie for poetry, lyric and song background. Songs marked I.F. are from the "I'll Follow" CD. Recordings from the "Psalms and Canticles" CD are as close to the scripture as possible, so David would get most of the credit for that!</div>
