If You Were To Record A Gospel Song.????
Going thru some old tapes last night, I Played several Gospel songs that I had worked on with different groups over the years. I asked myself "If I were to cut a tape,what songs would I play'? I believe I would do songs that have never been done. Like "Where the roses never fade"- Will there be any stars in my crown- etc. Any ideas? Ed Naylor Steel Guitar Works.

....and one of the newer songs that would be absolutely beautiful on the steel guitar especially when played with the harmony as written, is: "Thomas Song". If I ever do record a gospel album it will be on it.

I've been planning to do a steel rendition of Curtis Mayfield's 'People Get Ready' with some very deep vocal oooooo's and ahhhh's in the background. Also thought that the old ballad 'The River Is Wide' would make a good steel solo. (Same type of vocal work)<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by BDBassett on 26 January 2004 at 11:23 AM.]</p></FONT>

I don't know if Ron Elliott wrote it as a Gospel song, but "Lucinda's Prayer" has one of the most beautiful melodies I have ever heard.

Mr. Larry King, you just come on down to "The Little O' Opry" and we will do "It is Well With My Soul" at your desired tempo.
If you can make it to the NEOSGA Jam early enough Febuary 7th to play my set with me starting at 5:00 we can do it there also. Sounds like a great idea to me. A beautiful song.

Most of the responses have been toward songs with a lot of "FEEL" whitch is pretty much my opinion. There are other styles that have never been recorded and could reach a whole new audience. I can't recall seeing a STEEL on one of the MAJOR TV Gospel programs in a long time. Still I think Gospel would sell more to a local market, but it would sell. ED

I'm scheduled to cut a steel guitar album in March, to be released in early April, 2004, and the last song on the CD will be "The Lord's Prayer". I use the chord progression from the original sheet music by the writer of the melody, Albert Hay Malotte. (I suppose you know who wrote those beautiful words.) In case any of you are interested in adding it to your repertoire, I plan also to release a CD of the rhythm tracks only.

Roy, I happened to like "THE LORDS PRAYER" also and end up playing it every time I sit down. I also like "AVA MARIA" very much. These type of songs just seem so easy to play with feeling!<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Richard Gonzales on 27 January 2004 at 08:54 AM.]</p></FONT><FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Richard Gonzales on 27 January 2004 at 08:55 AM.]</p></FONT>
