Sonny enjoyed a career of youth ministry for 43 years ( 1956-1999), and is now in his 8th year of itinerant ministry: singing & speaking in churches and camps around the country and leading outdoor trips, primarily in the summer ("Go Outside" with Sonny Salsbury). Sonny has also enjoyed a long career as a composer. Word Music of Nashville has published close to 200 of his songs, including 10 albums of youth musicals and other collections. Some say Sonny's Opus is "The Backpacker's Suite" (1975) and it is still used frequently by church choirs, along with "Breakfast in Galilee" and "Love Came Down." Sonny and his wife, Linda are both natives of Southern California but now make their home in Yakima, a town of 60,000 dotted with apple orchards in Central Washington. They are closing in on their 48th wedding anniversary. Sonny has a life long love of the wilderness, of camping and backpacking, and many of his songs have been written in the mountains. His favorite place to sing is around a campfire with a group of folks who like to do the same. Many of Sonny's acquaintances agree that "How's About a Boa?" is the finest recording that has ever been made of his music. He agrees and is very grateful for the gifts of producers Michael Gayle and Jennifer Russell.
