WHAT'S NEW " ...What a clever idea to attach words of such inspiration and meaning to lovely, old traditional music. I have loved the song 'Danny Boy' most of my life for the beauty of its melody, for example. And, though the words apparently express the love of a father to his son, they are quite melancholy-reflective of the human condition. I can't remember to whom I should attribute these words, but truly, 'Most men live lives of quiet desperation.' Thank you for lending to the above-mentioned and many other lovely old songs whole new vistas of a wonderful truth. With God's revelation shining through, life's purpose is not despairing, but joyous. It's there deep inside when wearily travelling through our deepest valleys, bubbling over when we experience our highest peaks, and are a steady presence through all those times of neither valleys or peaks. I often tell our Father how inept I am at showing Him my gratitude for our wonderful calling. Perhaps, in a very small way, I am doing so by telling one of His begotten children (and her family) what a blessing her work is." Thanks again. [MC, of TX] Listeners' comments about "Your music is truly uplifting and gives us a feeling of inner peace when we play it. May God bless you richly, and may He continue to inspire you!" "This is the best one yet. I listen to it every day as I drive back and forth to work, so it will play inmy mind and I will hear it when I need faith. I really love it, especially 'Peace Beyond Understanding' and 'Yield Peaceable Fruit.' I can identify with the songs since I've been in trials. They have helped me so much, and I've had such peace. They touch my heart. People need to hear songs that their heart can record. The CD has blessed me. Thank you!" [CS, ofTN] "This is the best CD yet! The words are such strong meat, like a good sermon in itself, so deep and uplifting. Just to hear them makes me feel at peace. The voices mingle so well, and themusic brings out the words. I like the sound of the different instruments with the piano. The words, voices, and music are like a three-fold cord." [MC, of GA] "I love the voices. Dave's voice is calm and steady, yet has deep strength and confidence. Katy's voice is fantastic. David, Jr.'s voice gives a youthful innocence." [JP, of MD] "Your CD is beautiful, and so uplifting.

Listeners' comments about "THINK ON THESE THINGS"
"Thanks for the good songs of praises you are doing...Our small fellowship group is blessed and inspired by your songs." [FD, of Nigeria, W. Africa]
"I play the CD almost every day, sometimes several times a day! It is so uplifting and beautiful & with the sheet music I can 'sing along with Dave'--What a rich voice he has." [RS, of TX] "When I heard the horrible news on September 11 (2001), I turned on your website to hear the song samples. They gave me peace. A co-worker came over and listened to help her, too. The next day, I brought the CD in to play to give us inspiration."
"I play the CD a lot. The words are so beautiful, and Eileen Townsend's voice is so calming." [PB, of PA] "THINK ON THESE THINGS is full of good news!! Your love will be deeply rewarded by God." "The lyrics and music are a beautiful celebration of God's love...I wish you much success in sharing your music and God's Word with others." [CH, of GA] "My favourite [song] is "Fear Not Little Flock." It "comes into my head" all day long. We both appreciate your choice of songs and admired what a strong voice that Dave has and how well the harmonies were done. It certainly was a worthy effort, and I am sure it has been a great blessing to many others as well." [DS, of Ontario, Canada] "We especially appreciate hearing Dave sing, and the other women's voices are great and mix well with Dave's. As far as the content, we are moved to tears and at the same time are encouraged by the lyrics as you have put them together. Your choice of music must have been inspired as it lends so much to the words." [TC, of UT] "These songs have helped my children appreciate good music. When my children sing the songs over & over, the message sinks in. It is like a mini-Bible study within the songs." [VR, of GA] "The CD is fantastic...The lyrics are so poetic. Also, for me, the songs are educational (about scripture). [Dave's] voice is beautiful...Thanks for letting me share in the listening pleasure." [GG, of MD] "Please tell your husband...what you two have done is magnificent! You have set God's own words, in poetic form, to a wonderful marriage of voice and song with a heart to uplift, encourage, strengthen and inspire the scattered flock! This you are accomplishing! You are filling empty hearts with hope and peace." "We LOVE the CD! How inspiring!" [RS, of PA] "It's lovely, especially the title song--voices, accompaniment, all!" [MW, of MD] "I play it over and over. It keeps me from getting depressed." [MC, of NY] "Thank you so much--God's love is so great--He sent us this tape to sing along--May God richly bless!
