  1. I just found your site. I’m not sure what all you have, but I can see that you are dedicated to the classic Christian music. I didn’t know Larry Norman died. I had In Another Land, which was amazing. He was criticized then by many. Today he’s a pioneer. Such is life. I plan on listening to your broadcasts. I will donate as soon as I get a job! I used to have a ton of the classic albums from everyone, being a member of then Word Records and Tapes. I gave them all away a few years ago. Big mistake. I assumed I could find CDs but haven’t found much. Is there any source to buy CDs of the original recordings late 60s to early 80s?

    Thank you for keeping this music alive. I play guitar and lead worship for different groups. I teach the college students and young adults songs like Seek Ye First, Love Song, Peace Give I To Thee, For Those Tears I Died, John Fischer’s Lord’s Prayer and so many more. They’d never heard them but come to love them even more than the so-called CCM of today.

  2. If anyone is looking for old Jesus music collections…the best place we’ve found is ONE-WAY.ORG …they may be able to help you!!
