Unsolicited Listener Reflections

It’s always a joy to see you two. During the first year of these migraines, when I couldn’t have the TV or even a light on in the room, the only thing I could tolerate was Darrell’s CD of piano music. It soothed my spirit so well. Many thanks for your faithfulness to this great God we serve!

.....got me two of your discs and I was just amazed to listen to your music.It was very fulfilling in spirtual and musical ways.

It was very great to listen to your music......Thank you for your music.

What I want to tell you is that I play your "Garments" album every Wednesday from noon to1:00 PM during our staff prayer hour. I mixed Katie's CD with yours, and it is so incredibly anointed. I carry that CD with me and play it every chance I can, because I do sound jobs regularly for weddings and funerals. That music just minister's in every situation. I did a memorial 3 weeks ago for a Viet Nam veteran and played that CD before and after.

I believe the Lord is using you in ways that are almost secret. You have no idea how many people up here have heard your music. I always tell them, "Oh, that's a friend of mine, Darrell. We used to play together."

...just wanted to tell ya, we put on your Garments of deep Cd in here in the Restaurant. It's just what we needed, brought a calmness to us that helped us to realize the stuff we get frantic about isn't really worth worrying about. It's a good cd, I haven't heard it in a while. There's a message in the music that you can't explain by mere words. It's kind of funny when you talked about how it was a "transitional cd", well, we're all in quite a transitional season right now....

Garments Of Deep

One of my greatest pleasures is to sit at the piano in the stillness of the morning, close my eyes, put my hands to the keyboard and quietly play. My motivation is to simply create sounds. There is a sense of wonder, calm, and power in the notes. What you here on the CD are some of these early morning songs. One is a melody birthed some 20 years ago as I watched my then 5 year old daughter spontaneously dance...a few are popular hymns adapted by various cultures from well- known melodies.

Music has an uncanny way of reaching deep into our souls and somehow gives us a sense of hope where there is despair...and we find ourselves clothed in a new garment of peace, a new attitude, a new perspective, as we rest in the music.

Christmas Piano

These Christmas songs were crafted in a free flowing improvisational style. My hope is after the Christmas tree has been trimmed, after the mad rush of shopping and parties...there might be a moment of quiet reflection. Let your spirit rest with the Prince of Peace.
