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.<\/p>\n

(Apologies for the ’80s drum machine, unexplained clicks and pops, tape hiss and other artifacts).<\/p>\n
