Most of us consider our family the most important part of our lives.

Families are the cornerstone of our society, affecting our growth and

development as persons and as a nation. As children, we needed the care

of a family to survive. As adults, we depend upon our families for strength

and support. During this year’s 93rd Home and Family Conference,

celebrate and learn more about your home and family!

Michael Kelsey: acoustic guitar wizard/singer-songwriter/performance artist/entertainerA native of Lafayette, Indiana,

Michael Kelsey cut his musical

teeth on electric lead and bass

guitars in a variety of cover bands from progressive jazz to rock.

He spent fi ve years as a recording engineer and arranger in his

own studio before closing it to pursue his solo career. After placing

as a fi nalist in Guitar Player Magazine’s national competition, he

switched from electric to acoustic guitar to take advantage of the

broader variety of sounds, moods, and nuances available from this

instrument that could increase the dimensions of his music. In 2004,

the music store chain Guitar Center held its “Guitarmageddon” guitar

competition. After three months of searching through 3,000 guitar

players to fi nd the nation’s best unsigned guitarist, the judges selected

Michael as the winner. www.michaelkelsey.com
