[@williamdirksen5860]

For this day and age these hymns are even more needed !

[@sidvanderwerf3583]

Rich blessing in God’s Holy Spirit as you are playing. My home is blessed and I cannot thank you enough. Sid in Petrolia Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

Great listening...sounds a all day singing in the deep south. My growing up years singing in a family group. Thanks for the wonderful trip down memory lane. The RED BOOK holds some percious memories.

[@keithsy75]

I grew up on these old hymns when they were played and sung right, as with Natalie. I am also a jazz and blues cat. These hymns were the model for them.

[@FFEMTB08]

I could lay down on a pew and listen to you play for a year. This is just soothing to the soul.

[@carolmcallister1908]

I found my ear buds today and plugged them into my phone. Now i can hear the piano clear and louder. I am blessed to have found all your previous work. I was 80 in feb. And to hear all the old songs is great.

Its been a long time since I was excited about watching a KZbin channel. I'm "red book" all the way!! Thank you Jesus for sending this my way

[@davidbur02]

My wife and I always enjoy hearing you play. Thanks so much!

[@shoultzy]

Thank you for playing #40 "Inside the Gate." It is one of my favorites but hardly anyone ever plays it.

Beautiful! Simply Beautiful!

[@gretaalcindor5068]

I always enjoy listening to your piano music just beautiful and awesome hearing those lovely hymns thank You 🙏🏼 Natalie God’s blessings to you

[@loweryjennipher]

Just incredible! I grew up with the Red back hymnal and there are so many songs that we never even heard let alone sung. So much more potential than I realized in this great hymnal. And of course you make them sound so beautiful!! Thank you for taking the time to do this. It’s more appreciated than you know. God Bless

[@shirleyshealy3435]

What is the title of the nbook you are play from today? Where can I order it?

[@buck5029]

Red back hymns are a beautiful sound when played like this....keep a keying girl....

[@barbaramarshall1721]

ALWAYS A JOY TO HEAR YOU PLAY, BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤😀🙋‍♀️

[@sheffieldwarren]

Thank you for adding the song titles.

[@philharris53]

Thanks so much for the selection here. Several of them I hadn't heard before. It's amazing how much of the church's heritage of music is contained in the pages of books we seldom open anymore. I appreciate your sharing that heritage with us.

[@annaspino691]

You are a blessing to me.

[@shirleyhawkins1307]

So very beautiful! Great video and choice of songs.🎵❤

Yet another masterclass of wonderful hymn-playing. Long may it continue!

That is a joyful music. You make that piano talk ❤ ... just love it.☺

What a blessing ! Thank you ✝️❤️

I love the red-back medleys!

[@JMarkJones]

I'm watching and listening on my school bus before I run my route. I can't wait to get home and have a work out with these! I grew up on the red back hymnal, love the way you play these wonderful songs.

I would love to hear play the song Come Morning. With the trouble in the world today its good to be reminded that this time of darkness will soon give way to that Eternal day.

[@marycomella9807]

Thank you for playing If we never meet again

[@sirm45]

Keep them coming from that book! Can't wait until # 3 and so on!

[@sirm45]

We sing these songs still in our church. Your music is such a breath of fresh air and uplifting.

[@jwd46]

Beautiful as always Natalie! I miss singing those great hymns in church! You’re the best! 🎹🎹🎹

[@georgeannhorton4531]

Do you have these books on a cd?

[@Vladimeir2007]

Another good one. Some of these songs I have never heard played. Yet I could follow them while you played.

[@rhettvorsterblack]

That "saloon" style reminds me of my happy church days in Louisiana. I was told that the church was the one that actually inspired the saloon music.

[@kevinmencer3782]

That reminds me of a Western that I once saw where a man, pretending to be a reverend walked into the saloon and started singing "Bringing In The Sheaves".

[@joycash7549]

Just love this! Thank you Natalie!

[@benjaminevans5867]

My favorites: It's a Grand and Glorious Feeling We'll Soon Be Done with Troubles and Trials I Can Tell You The Time If We Never Meet Again I'm just humming these songs along.

[@viviavbuford8734]

So inspiring to me to play more

[@hollytreemusic2909]

It's good to hear you playing through them in order like this - I'm following with the book in front of me, because a lot of them I don't know and it isn't always easy to work out where the tune goes (or what the proper speed is) purely by sight reading.

[@alvinmccranie6978]

Play so well!! Would love to play the organ with you.

[@jeromejackson1029]

Brava!

[@stevemedearis517]

You are awesome

I have that book!But book 2I don't think I have ...Thanks for showing it!

[@ismaelargemiro3293]

Muito bom toca muito... Parabéns..

[@palref]

I probably have 40 hymnals in my collection.......everything from formal Episcopalian and Lutheran to gospel hymns......and I'm pretty familiar with most of it..........but I have never heard most of these "redback" hymns.........it's a whole kind of hymns I've never heard. They're certainly not somber or slow!

[@tjlarson9859]

"Redback" is fairly easy to find Used-Good Condition on Amazon. The one I ordered was something like $7 + $4 SnH. It's the largest single collection of this type of "gospel" song that I've found. My paperback Stamps-Baxter books from the 50s and 60s are long gone.

[@palref]

@@tjlarson9859 Yes, I bought one a while back (but in green). Can' t remember if I got it on Amazon or AbeBooks or Alibris, but it's not hard to find. I've been in hundreds of churches in the Midwest, but never run across one that uses it. The stylings are unique--and not easy to play!

[@tjlarson9859]

@@palref A lot of my collection didn't come with me to Philippines as a retired expat - but I have a fair selection from 50s to 90s of anything from "mainline medium-high church" to a 1957 Assembly of God hymnal, plus a few "collections of 100," etc. One which I was able to replace a couple years ago is "Hymns for the Family of God", 1976, Paragon, with Bill and Gloria on the editorial committee. It has some things in it which literally are NOT in any other book that I've found. Get it if you can. I also need to ask Natalie who published her "100 John W. Peterson" book that someone sent her, and see if I can find one of those. (but his harmonies are sometimes beyond my playing - - -)

[@roxygiddens9898]

palref, This hymn book was used a lot in the South. I grew up on it! It has died out in a lot of churches now, but it is still used a lot around the Atlanta area.

[@wessmith7408]

I'm not sure if you actually have time to read all your comments. Seeing I'm turning 70 in just a few days, I have been playing these songs since about 12 years of age in church. I have an original print Red Back Hymnal that belonged to my grandmother. Your playing is just great and I notice how your eyes stay right on the page. I doubt I do that except when parts are involved and I'm not sure then. I do sight read and I read cords faster than I might read notes. I catch and listen as often as possible as well as to others. The church I play for we still sing a ton of the old ones and there are a lot of new ones I have introduced them to as well. Let me say if a song doesn't have meaning, a fine melody and packs both spirit and message I'm not interested. My favorite key is E flat and my favorite timing would be anything with 8th timing. I have actually taken some of the older songs, set a different time, with modulations and made excellent choir specials. This is one way to hit the younger generation and get them involved. I have a question: Have you ever taken the old Coca Cola tune "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" and sing "Amazing Grace" to that tune. I do it in the key of F and then modulate to G bringing it back to the original tune and then modulate once more to A flat for a finish. If I had my way I would play all FLATS but that just isn't possible. I will move songs that are pitched way to high to a different key. Our choir director believes I have the ability to do anything. I hate it when we are singing and he decides he want to raise a song by a half step. I often raise a whole step to avoid something like 4 or 5 sharps. Thank you for ALL the work you put into making this time of COVID more bearable.

Are you going to post more songs from the Church Hymnal? I would love to hear more and even the entire book! Thank you!

[@judyritchey8194]

So thrilled to come across your wonderful renditions from the Red Back Church Hymnal! I have longed to have an instrumental of each song in the book, and you are giving us that. Thank you so much!! I have played piano for church for over 50 years, and people gush over my playing (embarrassing), but I would love to learn Southern Gospel style playing. P.S. Do you know Tracey Philips? I absolutely adore her playing. First encountered her in 2008 at the Ben Speers Stamps-Baxter Singing School in Nashville.

[@mrmm2611]

Any recommendations on a Hymnal Accompaniment that has the chords? I play ear/chord. I’ve noticed a lot hymnals do not have this available in their accompaniment edition.

[@irenehidalgo5203]

By the way that book you are using has the improvisation you are playing or just 4 parts?

[@lanebrown4806]

Hey Natalie! These are so wonderful and I always enjoy your playing! Are you using a certain kind of mic for your piano? It seems to pick up the sound so clearly.

[@jackywaldon359]

Will you play the old missionary song called... So send I you to labor unrewarded.
