Robin and Linda Williams; Streets of Gold; Sugar for Sugar; Sugar Hill 1996 [song by Robin and Linda Williams]
[I had heard the name, Tom Pacheco, for many years but had nothing with which to associate it. When the following album, produced by Scott Petito, came in recently I listened and was very impressed. If you enjoy thematic intensity then this might be your album of the year. I'm also real proud of Petito for taking on this project and doing so well with it.]
Tom Pacheco; Butterfly; There Was A Time; Appleseeds 2002 www.appleseedrec.com
[An awe-inspired song about Julia 'Butterfly' Hill. Generally the songs on this album address more serious contemporary issues than would seem possible in such a brief amount of time. Yet in many of his songs Pacheco addresses these issues with intelligence, heart and artistry. I hope Tom's songs will inspire more people to closely-examine our dangerously-faltering society. At least six of the eleven songs are in my opinion highly valuable in the important struggle to influence us all to take back the helm of our own destiny as citizens of a potentially-better world. This CD is very highly recommended!!!]
[9 PM break]
Tom Pacheco; What About Us?; There Was A Time; Appleseeds 2002 www.appleseedrec.com
[Betrayal is nothing new but when it's your boss who suddenly shuts the long-opened door all the corporate lock-out stories become all too real]
Tom Pacheco; There Was A Time; There Was A Time; Appleseeds 2002 www.appleseedrec.com
[Pacheco has an amazing gift for telling in song the challenging story that must be heard and truly understood if we as a people are to survive.]
Robin and Linda Williams; Wash Me In Thy Precious Blood; Visions of Love; Sugar Hill 2002
[Robin and Linda's adaptation from traditional hymn as sung by the Stanley Brothers and by the duo, Alice Gerrard and Hazel Dickens. This CD produced by Garrison Keillor]
Rod MacDonald; Best Defense; Into The Blue; Gadfly 1999 www.rodmacdonald.net [see note below concerning his upcoming concert in North Georgia]

It's a shame we can't please everyone at all times with everything we do, or is it?
Music and worship of God are for some inseparable. Praise God for that!

[with Robin Jung, Thomas Dawson, Scott Kay]
Jimmy Lee Swaggart; Some Golden Daybreak; Some Golden Daybreak;
(un-named record company; 33 1/3 rpm lp marked JLP-101; according to an email from Frances Swaggart this album was published in 1968; photo on the front pictured an attractive, smiling, healthy-looking young man next to a old grand piano on top of which lay an accordion; liner notes mentioned his more famous family member, Jerry Lee Lewis, who if I remember correctly is his first cousin. The music on the lp was actually amazingly good! If Swaggart had remained only a musician perhaps expectations of him might not have been so extreme and he might not have hit bottom so hard when he finally fell from public grace. Sing your heart out Jimmy Lee! `Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.' Psalm 51:10 Why is it so easy to fall and so hard to stand for the Lord?]

[Fame is forgettable but quality memorable;
let not your own obscurity dissuade you from sending me a promo of your recordings.
If your music is folk or vaguely folk I'm interested in hearing it.
Would it make you feel better about your work if a little radio station in west Georgia/east
Alabama played your music once or twice a year?
Naw, it won't make you rich.
