@charrogent Thanks, but If I lived to 100 I'd never be able to teach you to sound exactly like me. Better to be yourself. It gets you along better in this old world.
So glad you did NOT give the song the usual funerary treatment. LOOK at the words - BLESSED ASSURANCE! That is jump up-&-down shouting praise words. Too many people go to church and don't have that assurance. When I hear those words I just want to say, "Thank YOU Jesus".
I admire you and your skills, It would make my day....and probably my year if you could play How great thou art, would dearly love to hear this in your unique style....Keep up the amazing playing........Tim.
@bakelitetim Tim, I am almost certain that I have How Great Thou Art already posted on youtube. If not as a stand-alone then in one of my gospel medleys.
I agreed earlier w/a viewer who said she knew Pentecostal music when she heard it! No mistake in that! We are AOG,also! When I said earlier Elvis would have loved playing w/you it was right on, as he was AOG,also! Which I'm sure you knew!
Wow, guess I was right about your musical background. I cut my teeth on the old A/G Songs of praise hymnal. That was about 20 yrs. before your time, but I'm sure you remember the Melody of Praise hymnal. Got a request: I Can't Even Walk Without You Holding My Hand. Thanks Allen, sure do enjoy playing along.
Would you believe our church was giving away the 'Melody of Praise" books b/c they are using the overhead computer thing? I also grew up w/the book.Only newer songs are being played.Well, ONE old song is played per service only to placate the older folks! A shame! The old songs were powerful enough to save me,but, not anymore? Doesn't make sense! Thanks to Allen and youtube we can get our fill whenever we want! Praise God!
@estelle715 yes, it is a shame! very few churches sing the old hymns anymore. THEY CAN'T BE BEAT.. So much more of an inspiration than the new sound projected on a screen. But, guess I'm just old !!...But still love the hymns.
Allen, can you play "How Great Thou Art"? Keep up the most excellent work..
