Biography
Early life
Wheeler was born January 7, 1970 in Nashville, Tennessee, the only child of a carpenter and agronomist. Almost entirely self-taught on his instruments, he began playing the piano at the age of 3. His father, having seen him spend hours using a tennis racquet as a pretend guitar, got him an inexpensive Fender acoustic guitar at the age of 7, and he spent much of his childhood teaching himself by playing along to records on his mother's vinyl record player. From 1987 -1995 he studied philosophy and history at universities in Tennessee and Wisconsin, paying his way through by playing in several bands which performed on the college music and fraternity party circuits of the time.

Priestly Blessing
by: John WallerWhen the morning comes and the day begins
I will go out in perfect peace
And as the sun goes down and darkness comes around
Unafraid I'll go to sleep
Over the fathers and the mothers and the daughters and
the sons we pray
Lord bless us and keep us
Make Your face to shine upon us
Raise Your countenance on us
And give us peace oh God
Lord bless us and keep us
Make Your face to shine upon us
Raise You countenance on us
And give us peace
Give us peace
Over all our days and thru all our paths may we not
forget this truth
Those who just believe you keep in perfect peace
Those of age and those of youth
Over the fathers and the mothers and the daughters and
the sons we pray
Bless us and keep us
Make Your face to shine upon us
Raise You countenance on us and give us peace
Please God
Bless us and keep us
Make Your face to shine upon us
Raise Your countenance on us and give us peace
Give us peace
Yeah O Lord
