This is the first of two songs named “Here I Am”, this one by Tony Alonso.  It is No 63 in AOV NG. It’s based on Ps 40 so it might come in handy, especially just as a refrain. Otherwise … Continue reading →

This is a great song. You can buy it in a collection at Litmus Productions. “Hearts on Fire” by Michael Mangan.  AOV NG 62. It’s also one of the few in the book I’ve played a lot, so I can … Continue reading →
