Greetings from OMOR Studio!
Greetings from OMOR Studio!
My friend and drummer, Stephen Gunter, dubbed the upstairs room where we made music in my Portsmouth, Va., townhouse OMOR Studio.

That's because we had One Mic in the middle of that One Room (hence OMOR), amidst his drum set, the guitars, bass , and my recording stuff.
At the time he, Sand (my lovely wife, love you babe), and I were making praise music for Zion Grace United Methodist Church across the river in Norfolk, as well as fun music for ourselves at OMOR.
The Story Behind The Proverbinators
The Story Behind The Proverbinators
I had been invited to perform a song I wrote, Do You Believe, at a Nashville music conference in the humongous Gaylord Opryland Convention Center. That was an exciting first for me! I was going to perform it on the acoustic guitar, singer-songwriter style, but Steve and Sand weren't having it.

So, we worked up a rather exuberant, punked-out version (there's really no stopping Steve on the drums), packed up the car, and drove 12 hours to the Gaylord Hotel in Music City. We arrived as the sun was rising.
We needed a band name to be introduced by, and had brainstormed The Proverbials. But when we Googled it and discovered what that meant in the UK, we pivoted to The Proverbinators.
Here's a recording of Do You Believe, from the first Proverbinators CD. It is only available here. The song (and the CD) have never been released—I was such a noob back then that I didn't know about split sheets, and didn't get Steve to fill one out before he eventually moved away to the left coast. No split sheet, no release.
Some years have passed since then. Sadly, the contact info we have for Steve no longer works, and Sand and I have lost track of him. If anyone out there knows how to reach Stephen Gunter please let me know—or ask him to contact me! It would be nice to finally release what we all recorded.
