I'm Moving to Nashville On...

Hey friends! Just wanted to give you a quick update on the my move to Nashville. I'll be playing/have already played some last time services with a few different ministries around Metro Detroit, and will be over the next couple of months before the move,

I'm Moving to Nashville!

Well folks, it's official. I, Asa Kelley Manely Lane, will be moving to Nashville, Tennesse late spring/early summer, the exact date is looking to be in late June as of right now. 

Germany

Authors Warning!


Friends and Family - I must forward you. The following text is dangerous material. I was changed in Germany in many new ways. Ways that aren't "traditional" for me. Ways that first intimidated me. Ways that make me seem like more of a freak than I already am! They are a part of me now, and though I don't fully understand everything, I'm studying and allowing God to use these new changes through me. There are topics covered here that many will disagree with, laugh at, or hate that I even should acknowledge. With that in mind, here's to you all. Thank you for loving, supporting and helping me become the man God wants me to be. Cheers!

Making Keith Moon Proud

I joined my high school's robotics team back in 2004 mainly for the social aspects. But there was another reason...we got to travel to other parts of the country to be nerds. The furthest we traveled was Atlanta, Georgia.

The actual event of robotics competition was fun enough, but the real hi-jinx started when you were done for the day. When everyone would go to dinner, then back to the hotel for an evenings' ruckus. Make no mistake, I was a young man who had hardly been out of the county without family, now I was in a big city, in an even bigger hotel. My time there would prove lively indeed!

Cake and Customs

Last night, I made the trek from the Flint, Michigan, USA area to Sarnia, Ontario, Canada to meet up with a friend. We met at this fantastic coffee house downtown(ish) and had some fine brother time over tea and a peanut butter cookie. 


If you've never dealt with Border/Customs agents, it's something else. They're not really mean per se, but they're not looking to get chummy either. Usually their tones reflect those of strict business and little to no tomfoolery. 

Love Like the Weasleys

My posts up until this point have mostly been about music. Believe me, music is a huge part and passion of/in my life, but there are other things too!

To kind of "introduce" whoever may be reading my posts to my girlfriend of just over 6 years, I can connect two other points of my life. First, there is she...the lovely Victoria. 

25 Albums That Inspired Me

Last Autumn, there was this "Note Tagging" deal that went around Facebook asking what your top fifteen or twenty most inspiring albums were to you. I chose mine, posted, and people replied. 


I've re-posted the list here and down the road I plan to write in separate posts why they were inspirational and/or touched my soul.

Before we begin to hate, I realize that the vast majority of these albums were released in the very recent past, I'm 23, deal. If you'd like to suggest some great material to me, I promise I'll go check it out!
