The Music of Ron Stephens

In May 1985 I had a surprise encounter with God that rocked my world so profoundly it was impossible to ignore (though I tried). You can read that story here. Prior to that music - writing, performing, recording - was my only interest. This web site exists to document that facet of my life.
