Last year in October I was blessed to help Carol Hogner put on her First Anual Carol’s Benefit Concert. I was in charge of lining up artist. I invited a group from a church we had been to for her to sing. There was an amazing harmonica player there with this band. When I watched him playing with his leather harmonica strap on with all those harmonicas I was very impressed. One I had no idea there was more than one key of harmonicas not to mention enough you had to have a belt on that looked like a large ammo belt. Two they call harmonicas harps! HUH LOL
You know I do not believe in coincidences but I do believe in divine connections. It was not long after this event that Rendall started playing back up harp for Carol and we all started traveling together. We have been blessed to go to many churches and events and Rendall keeps people mesmerized with his big ammo belt and harp playing.
Rendall picked up harp playing about 40 years ago. He was told it would help put babies to sleep. “I had three sons. I wanted some peace of mind. It worked, kinda sorta.” Their mom would play the piano, and I would play the harp along with her. At that time we mostly played church music. Back in that day folks entertained themselves with music.
Rendall accidentally taught himself to play harp upside down. He said “its like a left handed guitar player playing a right handed guitar.” His dad was a pastor and they moved pretty often. Rendall grew up from about 5th grade in the Mississippi Delta. In the Mississippi Delta area there was always a lot of harp players and guitar players. In the 50’s the color barrier meant that he was not allowed to attend most of the shows. Rendall would listen to these programs on the radio and fell in love with this style of music. Rendall learned to practice with the radio and does this even today.
I was able to do a live interview with Rendall at an event a few weeks back. I hope you all will take a short moment and listen in.
Rendall is available for recording with artist and playing back up for you or in your band. Be sure to check out a few of these videos. He recently backed up Jimmy Jones in concert. I have added a video of one of their songs as well as few others.
Be sure to go like Rendall’s Facebook page at Harping4U. Be watching for more videos and recordings coming soon.

I once heard my Pastor preach a message titled “It’s Just A Chair”. It was talking about the things we make into a big deal that really are not. He based it on a time he woke up in middle of night and thought someone was in his room and he got scared. When the Light shone on it he saw it was JUST A CHAIR!
Today my message is its NOT JUST A CHAIR!
Here’s the story behind my new chair. My grandparents had some leather furniture with brads that I wanted to have some like. It was the brads on it that I always loved. “The western look”.
I saw this chair and I sat in at the GW store and fell in love. It’s already been broke in and was all ready for me to use. I looked up the “value” of my $25.00 chair and found it was once a $699.00 chair. Now seen as having little or no value, yet it was once someone’s dream chair.
When you think your life has no value, just remember that to someone else you are an answer to a desire or a prayer.
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Psalms 139:13-15
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:6-7
Your NOT JUST A CHAIR!
