   I remember the band from the 80's, used to listen to you all the time. A trip down memory lane. My husband Don and I enjoy your music/concerts to this day. Our first date was at your concert (13 years ago), 1st wedding anniversary celebration and all the other occasions.

1. Henry Kreindler commented on Elias, Schritt and Bell – briefly together again!
   
   Great stuff. See you there.

   Hey Steve, I first met you back in Ontario (my home province). Then i saw you years later at a church in Burien, WA when my friend, Brian Moss hosted a concert. I got to thinking of your music again this morning and am listening to Kindness. Great stuff! Hope to see/hear you live

1. CJ Chartrand commented on All the Diamonds
   
   Steve' cover of this tune was my intro to the song. Vocally Steve's in my opinion is the BEST I've heard. When I get to cover All the Diamonds, I only hope to do it justice to Bruce & to Steve.

   Hi Steve, Hope you don't mind but I performed "Riide on King Jesus" with my choir at my Spring Band Concert last night and many were deeply moved by the power of the words and music. All the best with your new project--I love the last cut on your demo--very impacting.

   Hi Steve not sure if you read these comments but we love you very much and miss coming to your concerts lately but will hopefully be able to attend again soon. We are always blessed when we come. Pauls siblings usually attend and have most of your CDs. We pray that they will come to

   I love the CD "Story and Song" . My daughter is in Gautemala with Canadian Mennonite College , learning Spanish and doing mission work and I missed her so I went down to her room to look for some of her CD's to play. I found this one. I have played it twice today, all

   Awesome concert in Fredericton, thank-you so much for sharing your inspiring music and minisrty with others. I'm one of the sisters that goes to Rusagonis Baptist maybe next time you can be at our church again. )

   Hi Steve and group.. I have a mystery before me that you might be able to shed light on. I am one of the pastors of Leamington United Mennonite Church...Steve has played here before.

   HI Steve, Thanks for a most enjoyable concert in Abbotsford on Feb 29. Enjoyed the songs and the stories very much. I was the one who requested "In Billy's Wake". I didn't mean to put you on the spot and would have been fine if you had stuck with not doing it. Maybe I should have

1. Karin Loubser commented on Comments
   
   Hi Steve, I just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed your concert in Surrey this past Thursday evening. Of course we love to hear you sing, but it is your stories that makes the concert even more special! Good luck on the rest of your tour.

1. Keith Schroots commented on Open Letter to Stephen Harper Regarding Omnibus Crime Bill C-10
   
   Hi Steve, We just saw you in concert tonight in Chilliwack.......really enjoyed your music and dialogue!!!!!! I appreciate your stories especially your involvment in prison ministry. I have worked for CSC as an RN for 16 years, most of those in a maximum security facility. I deeply agree with restorative justice and so I would

1. Dan Augusta commented on Music Making, Music Meaning – Music Selling, Music Stealing
   
   First, I'd like to second Brian Jones's previous comment about SOPA. It was deeply flawed, bound to be ineffective, and potentially dangerous. Excellent article otherwise, though. I hadn't really thought about the way music has been devalued in the way you describe, but it's absolutely true. I don't know how to feel about it - as

1. Steve G commented on Music Making, Music Meaning – Music Selling, Music Stealing
   
   A Great article. My wife is an author, and faces other issues because of the internet. There is such a glut of people writing and self-publishing with no standards of the craft, and no real intention to go deep. It creates a very muddy environment. The internet has some interesting potential too. Have you thought about

1. Jocelyn commented on Music Making, Music Meaning – Music Selling, Music Stealing
   
   Hey Steve! Can I copy parts of this article to share with my students? I teach Grade 5 and we have been talking about copyright also....it would be good for them to learn about music as well. Jocelyn Absolutely Jocelyn. Share away! ~ Steve

1. rsimonsen@shaw.ca commented on Music Making, Music Meaning – Music Selling, Music Stealing
   
   God Bless,you, Steve, This dialogue between yourself and the students was wonderful not only for them; but myself also. Piracy of music is a huge issue for musicians these days, and you've set it clear for our youth what it is all about!!

1. Maureen Neskar commented on Comments
   
   Hey Steve! Wow!...I haven't seen you since High School!...Congrats on the wonderful Legacy you are Creating!..In Dec/11 I happened to be sitting iu!n Massey Hall in Toronto (a few blocks from where I work and live), at a concert performed by the St. Mike's Boys Choir, while reading a MH brochure....To my surprise, I discovered that

1. Dennis Willows commented on Open Letter to Stephen Harper Regarding Omnibus Crime Bill C-10
   
   Steve ; unlike you , I tend to be right-leaning in my political beliefs as I know a great many Christians are . Every government is subject to making mistakes but I am not so sure this is a mistake. I think there can be errors made with sentencing with the bill as is but

1. Dorothy King commented on Comments
   
   Steve; there are times where your music has blessed me so much and I wish we could meet in person; however I look forward to spending eternity with you and hearing your voice.......there are some dark times that I have walked through and your music has sustained and encouraged me, especially when my brother died;

1. Dorothy King commented on Music Making, Music Meaning – Music Selling, Music Stealing
   
   I totally agree with Steve and his blog posting(s). I believe that illegal downloads of music and bootlegging cd's, etc. are ripping off the artist(s) and we should support them with our money.....after all wouldn't we get upset with others if they did this to us?

1. Brian Jones commented on Music Making, Music Meaning – Music Selling, Music Stealing
   
   Just a quick response about SOPA. The reason people were upset at the proposed legislation was not because they supported piracy, it was because the law was flawed by design and could have a lot of unintended consequences where websites having nothing to do with piracy could be forced to shut down.

1. Joel Willoughby commented on Music Making, Music Meaning – Music Selling, Music Stealing
   
   Thanks so much for this Steve - this was much more than just a statement on 'piracy' in the business...it was a great reminder and motivator for me as an artist to be faithful and persevere...

1. Wayne Gosselin commented on Music Making, Music Meaning – Music Selling, Music Stealing
   
   Hi Steve, Thanks for your wise thoughts on music piracy. I expect that most people, especially Christians, have struggled with this issue. Your comments bring new insight. I have hundreds of songs on my computer, available anytime with a simple click - including Christian and secular music. I don't find the time

1. Carla Fontaine commented on Music Making, Music Meaning – Music Selling, Music Stealing
   
   You truly are gifted in words of song but also words for teaching. Blessings to you and your family.

1. Malcolm Guite commented on Music Making, Music Meaning – Music Selling, Music Stealing
   
   An excellent post, you deal with the issues around piracy with admirable clarity as well as highlighting the unintended consequences of easy downloads. The patronage issue is vital. The church was once the major patron of great new music and that needs to happen again.

1. Celeste Krochak commented on Music Making, Music Meaning – Music Selling, Music Stealing
   
   Wow Steve...the students are going to be so amazed that their inquiry has made it to a blog! This is just the kind of ACTION they are hoping to see as a result of their curiosity...that others will get a chance to learn more about the issue and then take an action...make a personal

   A thoughtful and erudite contribution to the class project for these kids. I always enjoy new writings from you, Brother Steve.

1. Susan Grace Lewis commented on Comments
   
   Dear Steve, Just read your blog, responding to students in Singapore, on questions they had asked you about your own experiences as a musician and your thoughts on internet piracy. First of all, I'd like to say again how much my husband, Peter, and I have enjoyed your music and musings. We had just moved (Dec.

1. John Bickett commented on Comments
   
   Steve - since you are enjoying studying the life of St. Francis, I thought you'd also value songs available as free downloads from this website (a '70s LP done by Franciscan friars). The music is joyable. And pardon my lack of music knowledge, but some of the tunes, with thoughtful and worshipful

1. Robin commented on Steve Bell at Sacred Heart Cathedral on February 17th
   
   Really, really enjoyed Steve Bell tonight. So talented that my husband commented that it sounded like five guitars, not just one. So many beautiful songs were played, accompanied by stories that were very interesting and thought-provoking, some funny, and some very touching. Would really appepreciate a list of of the songs played.

   .ps. I do like the lyrics to your song. Seeing the farming in the video I was reminded of another thing: I was surprised to learn elsewhere in your blogs that most farmers in the world are women. Teaching mothers to be self-sufficient is of course a good thing. But I wonder what will happen

1. Bernie commented on Debt, Dictatorship and Disaster – A brief history of Haiti
   
   Hi Steve, as a self-described liberal, it's not surprising that you would consider Pat Robertson anathema. However, promoting Rex Murphy's vitriol does all your readers a disservice and effectively stoops to Pat's level. If you're inclined towards a less knee-jerk reaction and, I dare say, a more accurate history, kindly take a gander at the following

1. Gord Eshpeter commented on Open Letter to Stephen Harper Regarding Omnibus Crime Bill C-10
   
   I too am very alarmed at this bill. No more pardons? But by the grace of God he has pardoned me. This is a move towards big prisons and heavy handedness.....very sad and very scary.

1. Jerry Bellikka commented on Comments
   
   Steve, I worked in radio back in Winnipeg when you were part of Elias, Schritt & Bell. You guys made some great music together and I have long since lost any of the analog recordings of your work. My favourite tune was "Jenny's Song" but I have not been able to find a digital recording

1. Wayne Gosselin commented on Comments
   
   Hi Steve, I wonder if you have considered specifically writing new choruses that would be sung mostly by people as part of worship in regular church services. I think this would be a very natural expansion of your music ministry. Thanks, Wayne Gosselin

1. Annie commented on This Is Love
   
   Each time I hear this song, i am deeply moved. Beyond the sum of its lyrics and musical notes, the song is an example of deep speaking to deep… it calls me to consider the mystery of who God is, how broken our world is, and how incomprehensibly God loves and desires us in the

   I could not find the story on your website about Father Bob and your relationship with him. I understand it is a very touching story, one I hope I can still read. Is it still available to be read? Thanks Steve, I am a huge fan!

1. Carolee Neufeld commented on Steve Bell at St. Saviour’s Anglican Church on February 8th
   
   I would like to know more about this concert. Will the program include some of Steve's old and beloved songs, or will most of it be new? Hi Carolee - I always do a lot of old material as well as new. You'll get a good cross-section for sure ~ Steve

   Hi Steve, I was reading through the psalms and Psalm 131 inspired me to listen to Burning Ember once again. The music and lyrics of that album cut to a heart that had been hardening once again. Thanks for listening to God and continuing to be vocal on His behalf. Blessings - Doug.

   Hi Steve!! i just heard your song, "home again" and my teacher thinks it would be a GREAT song to sing for our christams concert this year. she had asked me if i could play the guitar for the song and i said yes. the problem is that we couldnt find the guitar chords online.

   Hi there, Steve, I have appreciated your stories and song both in Winnipeg and Ontario. I was delighted to promote your Massey Hall Concert on Facebook and equally delighted to buy some CD's. Unfortunately, I can't get the coupon code to work. Not sure if i'm doing soemthing wrong is the code

   Bah. You have a point but it feels like justification to me. I like to follow Health Canada's mantra: "When in doubt, throw it out". It is nothing to do with fear. I also don't celebrate Yom Kippur or Ramadan. So? It is those who wish me to participate in Halloween that

   Thanks, Steve, for your concern for women. My husband and I have been to Sierra Leone several times to teach war widows how to sew.

   I'm sure this bill has come about because the public has become quite weary and oftentimes disgusted at the weak sentences given to people who commit vicious crimes, often leaving the victim with serious injuries , including brain damage. On the other hand, I think discretion and common sense needs to

   Thank you for explaining so eloquently what is on my heart as I try to tiptoe around this issue as a Christian preschool teacher.

1. Chaplain Dan Stroman commented on Open Letter to Stephen Harper Regarding Omnibus Crime Bill C-10
   
   Thank you, Steve, for writing that thoughtful letter. As a Chaplain with more conservative leanings I am still concerned that the intent of this bill is punitive not restorative and based on research, does not, in fact, make our public safer but more fearful. Thanks for you courage to speak out.

1. JLB commented on Keeping Christ in Halloween.
   
   I chose not to participate in Halloween for years due to the stance of my church. However, when I learned about the pagan roots of many Christmas traditions, (the history of the wreath, mistletoe etc.), my view of Halloween has altered. Some Christians choose to not celebrate Christmas for the very same reasons that many

   Well said Steve. Having recently walked through the Restorative Justice process as a result of my brother's death in a motor vehicle incident, I am bewildered that so much political will is still supporting retribution.

   I think it is naive and incorrect to assume that we can avoid the devil, demons and their followers by not taking part in Hallowe'en. The devil has his fingers in many things, even those that Christians believe belong to them. To go out on Hallowe'en and change the meaning of the day
