Subject: RE: CyberHymnal hacked, missing or deceased?
I was happy to learn that Cyber Hymnal plans to be back on line again soon! Our church can't afford a lot of music - but if our church pianist can hear a tune once, she can usually play it back again - so she listens to the music on cyber hymnal. We try to stick with music which is in the public domain. The old songs are the best - because most people remember the tunes and lyrics from their childhoods.

I feel that Cyber Hymnal provides a valuable service for scholars as well. I recommended the site to a teacher whose college history class was studying the Reformation and she was just amazed at the wealth of accurate historic information which cyber hymnal provided.

Hopefully, MANY people who appreciate the service rendered by cyber hymnal will take the time to let them know how grateful we are and that will encourage them in their work.
