Sept 2001

Worship without music..I can’t imagine it. Music has power.. Bagpipes banned.. Singing banned by Roman government. When I play in nursing homes… the power of hymns on unresponsive residents. The memories it brings back in all of us. And this is such a fitting place.

Mansion.. First gospel song I ever learned.. Fishhook Sunday School Convention.

Just a Closer Walk… ... Wake up Sunday mornings to this. Mom used it to warm up. Dad would walk around the house singing…usually a different song. Mom’s music was soothing but it was Dad’s singing that got us up.

What a Friend.. Grandma’s favorite.. South Prairie Church.. Where would Jesus go to Church? How Great Thou Art In The Garden The nice part of making it up as you go along…you can change your mind.. Matt: baritone.

Mississippi River Boat……Near the Cross.

Simple things are the best: PAC.. “don’t screw up” prayer. Amazing Grace. Last week voted the number one hymn in a national survey.

Jesus Loves Me.. William B. Bradbury… G’pa, horse thieves.

My favorite.. Blessed Assurance

Mom’s death..organ locked..… Peace Like a River.

Sing-a-long.. Victory in Jesus… Beard Memorial Piano
