Musical inspiration from Beijing



Your Great Name


All the scientific advancements
Of this technologic age,
Leave their footprints upon the scroll of time,
As we dance across each page...
The precision of many drummers,
The fusion of light and sound,
The height of human achievement,
It seems to know no bounds

But it cannot come close to Your glory,
It cannot exceed Your great fame,
And when mankind has finished their story,
We will bow and exalt Your great name,
We will bow and exalt Your great name.

All the beauty that leaves us astonished,
That captures us here and now,
All the feats of human endurance,
That bring the indescribable WOW,
The music that stirs our emotions,
That carries our river of dreams,
Will soon find an ocean with borders,
And nothing's as free as it seems...

But it cannot come close to Your glory,
It cannot exceed Your great fame,
And when mankind has finished their story,
We will bow and exalt Your great name,
We will bow and exalt Your great name.

Yet even now in this Holy place,
We kneel , we bow, we behold Your face,
We enter in, beyond time and space,
For a glimpse of eternity....

But it cannot come close to Your glory,
It cannot exceed Your great fame,
And when mankind has finished their story,
We will bow and exalt Your great name,
We will bow and exalt Your great name.

The Great Andrew Gold Celebration

How great is this guy?.....Only one of the best pop writer/musicians ever!
I defy anyone to challenge the breadth and quality of his work. Even his demos sound better than most....He is criminally under-appreciated as a songwriter and as a studio musician. HE even does cover versions that will astound you...check out his Byrds and Beatles covers. Someone give the guy the kudos he deserves!!

Open Letter to Tom Howard


Dear Tom,
As much as I enjoy your piano playing - even when you choose to remain anonymous:
please would you, or someone find a way to make your incredible debut album, "View from a bridge" available once more.
