And with all the work put in to making this project, it will finally be out April 12th. You will be able to stream or buy on all the major song outlets. This is going to be a Country project with 15 songs about pretty much my life. Which is been a Crazy Good Life. All the ups and downs like we all have. I know there is a song that everyone can relate too. So, go and download your copy April 12th and Thank you so much as I know you will like this project.

Wanted to get new music out late summer early fall but it will probably be next year. Still working hard to get it out by November if time allows.</p><p>Been so busy helping my parents as they get older as they are in their mid 80's. And on top of that I have had to move them to a new location as the farm was sold and new land bought and doing most of the work by myself. And that is no easy task. LOL. </p><p>But I have been blessed and do not take this life for granted. God has been so good to me. These past months have been a new learning experience for me and looking forward to what he has in store for the future. </p><p>So, it will be a little while longer before new music is out. Also, trying to get back with the videos from Bart Fortenbery Music YouTube channel. A lot of good stuff there to see. Hope to get that going soon.</p><p>This project is going to be so good and cannot wait for everyone to hear it. </p><p> </p>Bart Fortenberytag:bartfortenberymusic.com,2005:Post/67836152021-10-22T07:17:42-04:002022-11-03T15:35:45-04:00BOOKING 2023<p>Okay ya'll, can ya'll help get my calendar full for 2023!

It has been slow and I need your help to get the word out there. And I have a question to ask. Do you think I should continue or stop. I have been doing this for a long time and spent alot of money and I don't do it for the money but I don't want to go broke either. The support is not there, so your comments would be greatly appreciated. I have trusted in the Lord to guide me but I am not sure what I should do.Bart Fortenberytag:bartfortenberymusic.com,2005:Post/35940992015-03-12T09:32:03-04:002015-03-12T09:32:03-04:00MarchI have never been a big fan of contests, but when I read about a songwriters contest Singing News/Solid Gospel Songwriting Contest, I decided I would try it and enter one song titled "Words of Wisdom". I have always loved writing and have worked hard doing so. Well that song Words of Wisdom was a 2nd runner up and that gave me a prize of a One Year Publishing deal with Piney River Publishing. The results is published in the March issue of Singing News Magazine. If you need a song to record you owe it to yourself to listen to the songs below. Been a good month and hope you have a good month also. Until next month God Bless!!

But as I pursue this ministry I realize I need to focus on you and folks that needs the message of hope and salvation. Please pray for me as I continue this journey of ministry. I just want folks to experience the awesome Jesus Christ like I have. I have been let down so many times but Christ will never let you down. With this new CD there are songs that will make you cry, laugh, and encourage you in your walk. And I am working on a series of messages on the verses in Galations 5: 22-23, "But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Here this is no conflict with the law". Wish everyone had this especially those in the church, and that is why I needed to work on a series of messages. If you would like me to come to your church or event to sing/speak or both, you can contact me at 704-473-1124. And as we get close to the end of the month, I hope that each one of you will give thanks for all The Lord has done in your life that you know and don't know. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!
