For years I’ve had a CD of this great song which I hope to sing on 5-20-18, Sunday at my church, Calvary Baptist, Rusk, TX on the day before my 86th birthday.
Hi Chuck, I am a Nashville singer/writer, mostly country, country/folk and a little pop. I am also a member of TSAI and was up until recently a member of the ICM. (Maybe I should Renew?) Long story short, I have a Spiritually oriented Christmas song that I have performed at church services over the years, and I have always had such positive comments on it. The melody, at least, is, to me, a gift that I’ve never been able to recreate in my country songs. It’s called “Tonight The Savior is Born” and I’m looking for someone in the Christian field that would have a range and big enough voice to do it justice. I understand you are also a producer and I would really appreciate your giving a listen to this piece. Thanks!
Chuck Day. My wife and I have singing Southern Gospel for 36 years. I heard your music along time back and we would love to have some of your sound tracks. Your music is our calling and people need to hear the real message in your songs. Thanks for a reply. eddierichrds@gmail.com
