Dick Cheatham, as former pastor, visited First United Methodist Church on August 12, 2007 and treated us to his virtuoso performance of "How Great Thou Art" on the clarinet.

  • Awesome tone....I could feel the connection between your spirit and our Lord...so full of soul. Thank you for blessing all who view and listen with this time of worship with our great God..

  • Sorry andreasrothe, Sunday, I performed at a church prior to a book signing for my latest book, and unintentionally sold out the remainder of my CD's.

  • Andreas, Thank you for your gracious comment. I hope you will not be playing this tune for your father's service for quite some time.

    I made the cd to satisfy some friends with the understanding that all the money would go to CROP to eleviate world hunger. You are the first to ask about receiving one outside of the USA. I currently am on a extended vacation, and will have to research the method and cost of sending a cd. Check in a month and I will try to have an answer posted for you.

  • Hi Dick,

    your clarinet sounds great!!

    I am a clarinetist from Germany. I played "your song" on my clarinet for my father. He was so impressed and wants me to play this song on his funeral, although he is a 77 year old man in a good shape. How can I get your cd "A Preacher Plays:Beethoven to Bourbon Street."

    Best wishes, Andreas

  • Thank you, dksghdms. I have been playing since I was seven. In the early years I practiced as much as fifteen hours a week (15-20 minutes just on tone daily).

  • inspiring! how long have you been playing the cla?

  • Thank you, blmb. It always is nice to be appreciated.

  • Absolutely amazing! :)

  • Thanks, TaCoHoMo6. "I'm pleased that you liked it.

  • Thank you, skitrees, for adding to the clarification about vibrato on the clarinet. I assumed that ecgtrombone was strictly a classical brass player, and unfamiliar with jazz. The amount of vibrato used depends upon the mood one wishes to create. For the number on You tube I used more than I normally do. I did so to give something of the feel of a stringed instrument in the higer range. I was surprised that George Moses had posted me. However, I'm delighted that you enjoyed it.
