New MP3 Audio Files

    Living in the midwest, country western music is part of the culture, rather than give up our rich hymnody with its solid theological message, it seemed good to try my hand at some arrangements that might make the hymns more exciting to those who do not appreciate pipe organs or classical music. Some may find it offensive, but you have been warned. Some may find it humorous. Some might find it enjoyable. The point is that there are possibilities, and to explore them.

If you like them, I would enjoy hearing from you, your comments tend to lead to new arrangements.

    Finally, if there is a Lutheran hymn that you would really like done, why not write and request it? It is possible that some LW hymns might also be available, so you can ask, but be advised that many have copyrighted melodies which will not expire for years. Remember that many LW and LBW hymns are still using melodies as found in TLH, you may want to use the hymn matching chart
