Subject: RE: Hymns - Play along From: GUEST,Ebor Fiddler Date: 18 Oct 10 - 06:37 PM I love Moody and Sankey and use their stuff whenever I can. The congregation don't seem to mind. We get a good sing and praise God. As it's around Harvest Festival time (in the UK anyway), how about "Bringing In The Sheaves"? |

Subject: RE: Hymns - Play along From: Nathan in Texas Date: 19 Sep 10 - 03:52 PM Good point, Susan. I think there are a lot of people who lament because they have no one to play with, when actually, there are folks all around who would love to make music with them if they only would ask. Yesterday I received a package in the mail and told the mailman (lady!) it was a banjo. She asked if I knew the man down the street who plays banjo, mandolin, etc., and suggested we get together. I didn't, but will soon. When it happens, I'll include him in a video. |

Subject: Learn and Play Old Hymns From: Nathan in Texas Date: 08 Aug 10 - 11:37 PM My main musical project this summer has been posting on Youtube an old (before 1915) hymn each week with "pop-up" chords included for those who'd like to play along. They include some instructions for playing autoharp, but the chords work for whatever instrument(s) you might want to play. Here is a list of what's up so far: My Savior's Love (I Stand Amazed in the Presence) Palms of Victory Just Over In the Glory-Land Footsteps of Jesus Jesus Loves Even Me The Haven of Rest This Is My Father's World Down at the Cross God Leads Us Along |
