This is good, can you do “Sing a New Song” ((written by the same guy as this song))

[@anthonywcsu]

I enjoy that song a lot. If I do another recording big session I'll add it!

[@Poli1348]

Thanks! That song means a lot to my childhood :)

haha no shoes! this man is unreal.

[@anthonywcsu]

I have really big feet, so wearing shoes destroys my accuracy.

[@richardsantalone9380]

​@@anthonywcsu I don't blame you one bit. I've seen lots of church organists use the pedals without shoes. 🙂

[@richardsantalone9380]

Oh, one other thing: are you playing this hymn in the key of E flat? Almost every publication I've seen of this hymn is in the key of E.

[@anthonywcsu]

Correct, this was in E Flat. It's a little easier to play and the half step lower works better for the congregation in my opinion.

Do you sell your arrangement anywhere?

[@anthonywcsu]

To be honest, I just made it up on the spot so I don't have a formal arrangement of it anywhere.
