The Steel Guitar Forum

Usually I tab out gospel songs that I have been raised on and have listened to for a number of years. However, for the month of September, I am offering the Southern gospel song, "Ten Thousand Years".

I really hadn't known about this song until I started my annual foray to Indianapolis, Indiana to take in Doug Rolfe's steel guitar gospel show every Spring. I always include the musical notation with my tabs and this time the notation is even made up of "shaped notes" which also is familiar to the Southern Christians. Bless their hearts!

If you are familiar with this song, or would like to be, just make your wish known to me and I would be "proud" to send it your way.

Let's all give praises to the Lord on an instrument of 10 strings! (Psalm 33:2)

Hey Erv,
I've sung this song hundreds of times with a family gospel group in the 70's. Great song. I'd appreciate a copy of the tab. Great song about a great time. God bless you!!!

Hi Erv, Count me in. . Were you at the Convention? Someone told me you were there but I never spotted you!Thanks Erv,
Kenny

Erv,
Please include me on the list for Ten Thousand Years. I can't remember if I have heard it, but definitely have never played it.
PS: I finally got a chance to play Abide With Me at a Senior Service function, and everyone really enjoyed it. Thanks again for the service that you are providing for other steelers.
George

Ken,
No, I wasn't at the convention. So far, the only convention I have taken in is the Gospel Steel Show in Indianapolis in the Spring.

George,
Sure glad you had an opportunity to give praises to the Lord with "Abide with Me".

John Driver,
Steve Cochran forwarded an e-mail to me that you sent to him by mistake requesting a copy of "Sweet Beulah Land". I will put a copy of that in the mail for you along with a list of the gospel songs I have tabbed out for E9th. I counted them up and we're up to 114, at present.

Keep making a joyful noise unto the Lord!
Erv
