From the early 1970's and through the late 1980's I played guitar with a gospel rock band that went by various titles:

• The Christ Inspired - Peggy Crawford, Tina Jackson, Gary Leacock, Gary McGinnis, BJ Herrera, Linda and Steve Champion
• His Seed - Peggy Crawford, Tina Jackson, Jim Arnold, Gary Leacock, Dennis Smith, Gary McGinnis, BJ Herrera, Tod Pritchett, Suzi Sullivan
• Stratus - Peggy Crawford, Tina Jackson, Jim Arnold, Franz VanOuwerkerk, Michael Valentine, Gary McGinnis, BJ Herrera, Tod Pritchett, Suzi Sullivan, Steve Hotra

In this last form, we wrote, produced and recorded our own original music before finally disbanding circa 1987.   Album tracks were recorded at the Evan Williams/United Sound Studio in Santa Ana, CA and engineered by Greg Yova.  All mp3 tracks were remastered from the original 2trk, 4trk, 8trk and 24trk audio tapes to new 1/4" 2trk then audio CD.  Here are some pics of my home studio:
