[@HammC3B]

Thanks for listening and looking! And...you keep singing for the Lord...I saw ya! You are truly blessed. Alvin

[@HammC3B]

@TeeJayJack Hey Tee Jay...Thanks for your compliment. Be encouraged to play those melodies and know that you're never too old to learn. Regarding the background music, I played the strings, bass, drums and woodwind separately, then recorded them together. On top of those tracks, I played the keyboard part that you see in the video. It was a challenge to pull it all together, but fun realizing the completed project. Thanks for watching!...Alvin

[@earbrac]

When I've lost my direction, You're the compass for my way, You're the fire and light when nights are long and cold. In sadness, You are the laughter, that shatters all my fears, when I'm all alone, Your hand is there to hold. [Chorus 1] [Verse 2:] You are why I find pleasure in the simple things in life, You're the music in the meadows and the streams. The voices of the children, my family, and my home, You're the source and finish of my highest dreams.

@DrTLClark Dr. Clark...Thanks for your kind words, although my playing is much more like hard work than gift :) I used to play for church a while back when choir singing and traditional Gospel was "in style." But these days, I feel like a dinosaur with all of the contemporary Gospel praise bands around (LOL). Thanks again for watching. Best regards. Alvin

[@vickychillin3255]

Great job!

[@HammC3B]

Thanks for the visit! Be blessed.

[@nolandg2002]

I really like your exact version of this classic song. I'm a low tenor to baritone and I can sing along with it, on a good day-lol...Thanks for posting; it;s in my favorite.

[@DrTLClark]

Brother Alvin, I HOPE you are playing in somebody's church and I just missed that note on here somewhere. I can tell you that Pastors need musicians who can bring the spirit out of man-made instruments. You have an amazing gift! May God continue to richly bless you.

[@rhomucker9390]

Do you happen to plat a song by the Soul Children of Chicago with the lyrics " oh Lord how excellent. How excellent. How excellent. How excellent. Is Your name"?

[@HammC3B]

Rhonda, "How Excellent" is really a great song. I'll have to learn that one :) Thanks for the suggestion! Be blessed! Alvin

[@mrsaudain]

I would LOVE to use this as a backing track for a violin solo. Do you have this recorded anywhere else?

[@marshalllassiter7680]

There's two keyboards playing????

[@HammC3B]

Marshall...all the orchestration is playing off the rack mounted module. I used sequencer software to control it while I played the piano part on the keyboard. All patches except the piano are coming from the multi-timbral module (strings, horns, bass, drums). Thanks for viewing. Alvin

[@marshalllassiter7680]

@@HammC3B Thank you so much. I thought I wasn't getting it. Hope to be Blessed to do some of the things you are going in the nearby future.
