Music Hallel Trinity Album Early Songs Purim Songs Audio Archaeology
Recently I discovered that my friend Tom Brooks had archived these early, raw, experimental recordings of songs I wrote long ago. Some of these songs I had forgotten about. Some are from deteriorating cassette recordings. On some songs you can hear our church members join in singing. These songs are generally of poor audio quality, but …they are what they are.
(I left out the ones that employed that exciting new invention – the electronic drum machine).
