My alma mater band sounds as good now as it did when I played that piece on that very stage some 20 years ago. That piece has always been of my favorites to play! Keep up the good work CCSU!

@NatalieGoesByBubble we are playing this in a week for a few hundred people. We play some really challenging and great stuff but this is my favorite song so far in my band experience.

I made a very special effort to visit John Newton's grave in Olney UK a few years ago and we had so much trouble finding it we had to view it in the dark as the sun sets in Britain at 4pm during December. I couldn't understand why the words "a wretch like me were in the song until I learned that he was a slave trader and gave it up to become a Christian and later on a minister ot the church in Olney

Amazing Grace is very calm, like how God is... It gives us a lot of space to brood over the music and our life... In a sense. A fantastic piece! Wonderful playing by the band too! Nice and mellow and calm with the spirit in it =)
