The Cathedrals

I was raised in a Christian home. Actually, my grandfather was a United Bretheran Bishop in Indiana. I attended Sunday School and church on a regular basis. The old First UB in Downtown Dayton, Ohio was a big part of my early life.

We had a big piano in our home, and one of my early memories was an evangelist visiting and sitting at that big piano, and almost getting it bouncing up and down with those high spirited gospel songs he played, so music has always been a part of my life.

Going back many years, I heard the Cathedrals on radio and then television. George Younce and Glen Payne have been favorites since then. I owe Bill Gaither a vote of thanks for his bringing all those singers back, and giving them a venue to once again show their talents. Many of them I was not aware of at the time.

I spend many nights with the headphones on, listening to them, often with tears in my eyes as memories come flooding back of my childhood, and also, so many of them have passed on.

THIS IS A GOOD ONE TO LISTEN TO
