Hey, it's not too fast! I'm apostolic and our church ALWAYS sings/plays this song fast. Very good job. Is that considered an upright grand? I know there are consoles which have a high back and spinets that have a very low back, but that one is much taller than a regular console, so I just assume upright grand?
Fantastic! Wondered if you would record yourself playing ( Mansion over the hilltop) and possibly (On the wings of a snow white dove) you do such an amazing job!
Fantastic. I believe that is the temp it is meant to be played at....good job. What a great old gospel song. Ever watch Eva Mae Lefevre play gospel....now that is piano playing. I'll refer to you as I practice.......Thanks....Best Regards
Excellent. Music is like coffee. Give the same amount of coffee ground and water to 2 people, and it will taste different. I like your style. Well done.
I think your playing is excellent! It makes me feel like I'm at a Southern revival service. We need more of this type of uplifting spiritual music in our lives. You're fantastic.
love your style. it reminds me of "old time" piano players who could "make a piano walk across the floor" as my Momma would have said. I love all four of your posts. waiting on somemore. up tempo would be wonderful, maybe "Count Your Many Blessings". Thanks!
Hi Kevin! I just signed up on you tube and I REALLY loved listening to your piano videos!
I LOVE Southern Gospel Music and am learning to play the piano also. I have only had 6 months in lessons or so. However, mine is much more slow going - hope to be as good as you sometime. :) Thanks for posting these videos, I look forward to any more when you post them! Also, I think you did a GREAT job on I'll Fly Away. It needs to be played like this and not a funeral dirge. Smiles to you! :)
When I was a kid,, used to go to church with a girl across the street. I remeber her mom playing the piano in their house to get ready for church on sundays, and how I never would have heard that at home. It drew me in, and now I know it was The Holy Spirit all along looking out for me. Thank you for taking me back to such a great memeory. Too many kids now do not have it, thats a shame. Thanks for your devotion & hard work. God Bless & prosper you more than you ever dreamed.
WOW!! What an honorful thing for you to say, bethelblue. Roger was a dear friend of mine and it's hard to believe that it has been just a year since he went home! You have blessed me today in a way that I truly can't describe. Thank you.
Hi! I agree with bethelblue... we remember Roger Bennett as we watch you play. He is our most favorite pianist of all time. We missed him so much... Thanks for posting, God bless.
i love sining this in church! we clap get all happy over it i mean think about it! I'll fly away!!! i really am gonna fly away flying with Jesus up to heaven man i cant wait! ps: beautiful playing!

The song, when played in a solo format, should be played up tempo. Your version is proof of concept. Great job.

Good playing. I'd like to hear you with a singer so you wouldn't be a slave to the melody.

great! i love your playing. I play piano for my church.
you say you used to know Roger Bennett? He was an amazing piano player. He died on my birthday!! At least he's with the Lord now.
I love Legacy Five! They're still good even though he doesn't sing with them anymore.
