Oh, here’s a story. \u00a0The most important part of any film is what you hear. \u00a0And music really helps move a film along. \u00a0So, when I envisioned the film at first I was thinking about all the great jazz that’s come from Detroit. \u00a0But Naomi’s tastes were otherwise. \u00a0Oh, sure she likes jazz and even wrote a poem about Duke Ellington, but the music that was closest to her heart was that of Charles A. Tindley…something you’ll know if you watched the little piece above. \u00a0So, I reasoned that it would make all the sense in the world to use The Reverend Tindley’s music for the soundtrack. \u00a0Enter Lamar Willis, the Minister of Music at Naomi’s home church. \u00a0Here is a young man of amazing talent. \u00a0And he was willing to drive from Detroit to Grand Haven to lay down this music. \u00a0Most of the tunes for the film needed to be just piano, but he asked if I didn’t also want to record him singing, too. \u00a0Why, sure! \u00a0And why didn’t we make a CD out of the complete hymns, not just the piano tracks that were going to be used in the film? \u00a0Oh, my. \u00a0Here’s a taste:<\/p>\n

Courage My Soul<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are the liner notes for the CD (click on each one to enlarge it). \u00a0And, sure, I’d like to make sure a copy of the CD winds up in your hands. \u00a0Contact me.<\/p>\n

Oh, and 150 or so of The Reverend Tindley’s hymns are newly available through Cokesbury in Beams of Heaven Songbook: Hymns of Charles Albert Tindley<\/a>. \u00a0Inexpensive (not to say cheap) at twice the price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
