This is the old Baptist hymnal tune (Public Domain).... redone in a jazz sort of way.... an extravaganza of guitars.... 6 tracks of them played by me.... piano is by me as well....

Hi Herb,
I thought this was a very well put together arrangement. I also have to say it's very tastefully performed, too.

Noel
Dani, PGF, Guenter, & Noel... thanks.... I enjoy doing stuff like this from time to time.... I have an older version of this on my site but wanted to redo it with BB.
Nicely done, Herb. Good mix and an enjoyable listen. - floyd

Herb,

Later,
Playing the good old hymns as jazz, or as in this case, actually SmoothJazz, is one of my favorite shows or sets.
Good job on this'un, Guitarhacker!

Thanks to all for listening.... I enjoyed recording this and playing the guitar on it.
Hi Herb
Enjoyed this song. Well played. Very smooth.
Scott C...
Whoa....that is quite a different interpretation of that song - particularly to someone who remembers using that old hymnal. Wonderful playing and mix.
scott: thanks
janice & bud: you didn't think It would be a traditional sound now did you? Thanks.... gotta shake it up. I went to Argentina several years back and had recorded my first (non-BB) version of this. I played it at several of the churches and outdoor assemblies where we went... they loved it too.
even knowing up front what the song is, your arrangement is so unique I have a hard time hearing the original song in there at all!
I'd have to agree with the general consensus regarding the quality of your arrangement, performance and mixing.
Great music to wake up to on a Sunday morning and get you in a good frame of mind for the day. Well done!
