About Me

Hey Reader,

My name is Dale and music is my sale! There are at least 45 words that rhyme with my name. See if you can find more! Currently most of my time is taken up by school and work at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. I come from the Salt Lake Valley originally and love to make music, especially when that music involves singing. Here are a few of the big things you should know about my life and where the majority of posts on this blog come from.

Religion - As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I am often participating in activities with my local congregation. I believe in the values explained by Jesus Christ, recorded in the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The standards set forth in the Gospel of Jesus Christ are the standards and commandments that will allow us to live with God and our families for eternity. If you want to know more, you can definitely check out my profile at mormon.org or ask about how you can meet with the missionaries.


Barbershop - While I enjoy singing almost anything, barbershop music is my favorite to perform. This is my third year as a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society, a music foundation that I hope to participate in for years to come. As a member, I volunteer lots of time to sing with the Provo Chorus, The Mountain West Voices. You can check out some of the music we make on our Youtube channel.

Book of Mormon Stories

Dear Reader, Today I simply want to share a story that has strengthened my testimony of the Book of Mormon over the years. Professor Felix Mynhardt was fluent in many languages, including English, Afrikaans, Hebrew and Egyptian, as well as many others. He was employed as a language professor when he had been praying that the Lord would give him some divinely important task that would justify his having this gift of language from God. In 1970 he visited with a group of Mormon leaders, who sought to commission him to translate the Book of Mormon from English into Afrikaans. He said that he knew of the Book of Mormon from his religions studies, and his initial reaction was that he did not want to be involved in translating it. However, that evening, as he prayed upon his knees, as was his habit, he said the Spirit of the Lord convinced him. The message was something on the order of, "You asked me for a great, divinely inspired task of translation, I sent it to you in the form o...

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I Don't Wanna Be Anything Other Than Me

Dear Reader,  I work online at one of my part-time jobs. Sometimes it is required of me to look up a person's credentials or accomplishments to better fill out a description of their time on the radio. This means I do Google searches quite frequently to find their websites, their social media profiles, etc. By no means am I a guru on the world wide web, but I have been around the internet a few times. Why does any of this matter to you, reader? It matters because I have found a few things that are essential to being safe online. As much as anyone hates to admit, the persona built on the web greatly affects the actual person outside of technology. It matters because we need to review the tips on how to remain safe online regularly.  Here is a quick example of how important it is to monitor what you put online. If you put "Dale Lundstrom" into a Google search, there are 743 results as of today. A good number of those have nothing to do with me, it's true. Howe...
