Beautiful!!!...Glory To Jesus Christ Our Lord, God and Saviour...I am an Orthodox Christian...and this sound echoes some of the hymns that are sung and chanted by Christian monks back in the old countries...this is a Heavenly sound...Thank You for posting this!

I have lived and breathed this in the mountains of North Carolina. Sunday mornings in the shadow of Mt. Mitchell where in a small Pensacola Methodist Church, Lon Autrey sang in the same
style with a passion and grace only early
settlers past on to their children and grandchildren. He, one of many, inspired
myself down a road of music that has also
blessed and encoraged others to develope
their own musical gifts. Its a sound thats growing faint with each passing day.

Thanks Barry. I was up there with him, along with Jim Lauderdale. What a special morning, and what an amazing man.
