My husband and I, both trained musicians, had this very experience last Sunday morning when visiting a church. The musicians were all talented, but the volume was deafening...I was in physical pain and even experienced nausea. I echo your five points; it feels as if you plucked them from my heart. Thanks so much for writing it. I miss beautiful worship music... How timely that I found this article this morning.

The impact upon my life from those expierences has been a lasting one. Somewhere along the way the wheels came off of my life and after more than thirty years of ministry I left the church. I still find myself, more than thirty years later, drawn back to the cross by the word and by the memory of the great worship expierences with this couple. I will always be greatful that the father saw fit to bring you two into my life for what you did then but more importantly, what the memory of your music is still doing in my life. Thank You.

So much with the LOUD music has come to be 'intertainment' rather than GOD being the focus. I will refrain from further comment on that matter to spare being called "judgmental"; :) but have heard, "before we can have revival~ there needs to be a funeral! A funeral of "self" ". well, I understand by what I have heard people say, that they have incorporated “the world” in “the church”.

Couldn't hear myself, couldn't hear anyone nearby singing. My desire to worship was hindered by the painful (and harsh, raspy, nasal tones are amplified with the good tones) loudness that invaded my sensibilities. A personal item: Has your song, "Child of my Child" been published (with Chord names). I tried to email you at Ronowens3@aol.com, but your address was not recognized. (That address is on a pasted-in label in your song bood **Reurn to Me** I had some of these same thoughts last Sunday. Couldn’t hear myself, couldn’t hear anyone nearby singing.
