Hi Jerry and everybody else at the table--
Just got back from my concert (actually about 2 hours ago), and tried to go to bed. But as frequently happens after a concert, I was really revved up. I'll tell you more about the concert later.
But I just got your CD (Gospel Messengers), Jerry-- and I decided to listen to it. Well, it's revved me up even more. It's just DYNAMITE.!!!
I just absolutely love that kind of gospel-----almost entirely close-harmony voices with just bare-bones guitar.
How Much Do I Owe Him?--just hypnotic
Oh Why?--it's really fascinating how you can see the link between gospel and doo-wop. They're all so close, it seems--gospel, blues, and doo-wop.
Your own songs are so strong--the chorus to " Healing Water" seems so traditional---it'll go right into the tradition and everybody will be singing it.
And "When I Get To Glory"-- WOW!!!!!!!!!!!----it makes you feel so good to hear it--I'm gonna have to learn that one this weekend. I just love the way it changes from the slow verse to the rocking chorus.
I'm Just Waiting On Jesus--what a rouser!
Your voice-good rich baritone--a real joy to hear-sounds like you're about 35. And the other members of the group--what a good strong sound!
HEY EVERYBODY--YOU GOTTA GET A COPY OF THIS CD!!!!
