(He looks left to see if there’s any emails not yet sent that might get in his way – none there. He looks right to see if any great gospel artists have passed on deserving a special tribute – none there. It is safe to blog and so he begins …) There is a convention […]
Read More I’m Packing UpLike The Winans, The Clark Sisters are a group that is often highlighted as the standard of great gospel music. For their time they were ground-breaking and there are many artists and singers who have been inspired by their harmonies, great vocals and crucially their great songs. They were among the artists in my mother’s […]
Read More Pray For The USA – The Clark SistersJust heard the news that Walter Hawkins died on Sunday. Huge loss, brilliant singer and songwriting. Worth hearing this tribute to him by Vickie Winans as well. Still they maybe gone but their legacy outlasts him and hope to sing songs to the Saviour together at His return. Thank you Lord for all you did […]
Read More Thank You Lord For Walter HawkinsWhen I was growing up in the family home in the 1980’s and 1990’s, I was only vaguely aware of the Contemporary Christian Music scene. One of the names I came across in that there scene was Michael W. Smith. Not that I heard any of his material. I was far too busy with other […]
Read More Breathe – Michael W. SmithI do have some significance news to post and I was meant to post it today, but due to some communication breakdown issues I have to postpone that significant news until tomorrow at the earliest.

Read More Anything Happening, Christopher?Hymns. Powerful tools in the musical kitbox to help us embed some profound essential spiritual truths for the journey. I distinctly remember singing this hymn (of course nothing as good as this version, but we still sang it) and taken by how much like a little song you’d sing to a child when they’re going […]
Read More Saviour Like A Shepherd Lead Us – Janna PotterNothing much for this time of evening. It’s another blessed Sabbath evening. Most of the family are asleep and I’ll be heading that way in the not too distant future. I was considering thought what it is about the Sabbath as a communal celebration that should make it something to eagerly await and embrace. I’m […]
Read More Just Some Sabbath ReflectionsWhen I sang it with me folks back in the hood we weren’t into the ‘Thy’ so much as the ‘Your’ but that’s a KJV issue which I’m sure we’ll get to the bottom of when we find out the Father speaks another language completely! I love the build up on repeating ‘Glorify Your Name’, […]
