* A little history of the
different ensembles
*
Rob and Christine Carter
Christine and I met at a Bible study in
college.  We were friends for 2 years when
the Lord said to me clear as if it was spoken
aloud "That's the woman you're going to
marry."  I was astonished!  After a series of
confirmations, we started dating a month
later.  We performed together since 1993.  
We were married in 1995.  Sadly, in June of
2007, a few weeks before our twelth
aniversary, Christine filed for divorce.  
Needless to say, we are no longer
performing together.  But God is still God
and he is close to the broken hearted.  I
wish Christine all the best in life and ministry
and I covet your prayers for us both as we
seek to recover from this.
Rob Carter and the Blueprints
Christine and I took along one of my longest
standing and best friends Robert Messore
to play a tone of gigs around the Northeast.  
Robert is a professional fingerstyle guitarist
who MUST BE HEARD to be believed.

"All About Me..."
Fragile Existence
Psalm 144:3-4 says;
     
 O LORD, what is man that you care
for him,
    the son of man that you think of him?
4 Man is like a breath;
    his days are like a fleeting shadow
While living this Fragile Existence I have
teamed up with Dan Oleksiw on bass,
Nate Hafele (who deserves credit for the
name) on drums, and Ben Smith on
guitar and vocals. With myself on guitars,
keys and vocals we seek to give the
Glory to the Living God with every
opportunity.  We are not perfect but we
are willing clay in his hands.  Originals
and covers of melodic rock with a Christ
centered focus.
