My Talented Brother (Dustin)

Dustin is not one who likes a lot of attention but I like to give it to him when he's done something great (which is all the time!) Dustin is an amazing singer/songwriter who has taught himself how to play the piano (and every other instrument) by ear. My mom paid me when I was in high school to give him piano lessons but playing by ear was much easier for him.

Dustin is mentioned in this week's "Mormon Times" (in the Deseret News) because he is part of a new CD that is being released called: "Nearer: A New Collection of Favorite Hymns"


He is on this CD other great artists and they have taken old sacred hymns - some that are no longer in our current hymn book - and remade (updated) them.

The article quotes...

"My favorites? Dustin Christensen's "It Is Well with My Soul," Spencer Harrison and Lauren Casper on "All Creatures of Our God and King," and Mindy Gledhill's "Be Still My Soul."

Here is the full article.
