Funny you should ask.  Just a couple of days ago, we received an invitation
to join Word's Family Record & Tape Club (funny, though, they didn't offer
records :-).  Good deal: 4 tapes or CDs for $1 each (plus shipping and sales
tax, but still a deal).  Better deal: no commitment--you're not required to
buy anything else from them.  The catch: if you don't buy anything for six
consecutive months, they drop you (might be what happened to you before).

I don't know how we got on their "invitees" list, and I don't know if
persons not receiving this mailer are eligible for the same deal, but here's
their address so you can find out for yourself:

	Family Record & Tape Club
		A division of Word DMS, Inc.
	P.O. Box 10659
	Des Moines, Iowa 50336-0659

Enjoy!

Hi all!

I was just wondering if any of you out there have heard of a fantastic
group of college musicians/vocalists called the Newman Singers and Ensemble
from the Univ. of Iowa.  They are sponsored by the Catholic Newman Center
on campus at the university, and they are a great group of people.  They
travel, but not a whole lot (since they're mostly students) and mostly in
the mid-western states.  The director, Joe Mattingly, has written almost all
of the music that they perform, along with orchestral scores for it.  I think
that they have seven or eight albums right now.

I visited with the group at the beginning of December to participate in their
Christmas concert.  They had about 35-40 musicians in the orchestra and 
50-60 vocalists.  What an incredible sound this produced!!  

If you haven't heard this group, they are worth listening to.  Just thought
that you all might like to hear about a very positive educational/vocational/
spiritual experience that's happening.

Peace!

There's a week long institute/conference held every summer around July 4 in
Dallas, TX put on by Lamar Boschmann Ministries in Bedford, TX.  They've
been going on for about six or seven years, with different people
highlighted to speak/lead worship.  They usually have one evening where a
well known CCM artist gives a concert for free (w/ love offering taken).  I
went last summer and it was well worth it.  I'm sorry but I don't have info
on it here at work, but if you called information for the Ft. Worth area and
asked for Lamar Boschmann Ministries in Bedford-Euless, TX, you could clal
them and they'll be glad to send a brochure to you.  They have about 4 areas
they give a "diploma" of sorts for after you've attended (I think) 4 years
in a row.  If you can raise the money to go, do it.  You won't be sorry.
It's for pastors, praise/worship leaders, and praise/worship
instrumental/vocal musicians.  They have an array of vendors in the lobby,
so be sure to take some extra money to spend on all kinds of helps.
I'm going to try to go again this summer.

     'Can't Stop The Rock' is the title of the 'greatest' hits album,

 It was their first release on the Hollywood label sicne Enigma went
bankrupt and left them label-less.

I already replied to this article via e-mail, but I'll rehash most of it
for the benefit of other diehards.

Michael Sweet officially called it quits with Stryper several months ago
(I belive it was sometime last summer), although Rob, Tim and Oz have not
put an end to the band as a whole yet.  They did some touring with Dale
Thompson of Bride over the summer on L. Vox, but Dale will continue to
stick with Bride and record with them (why, I have no idea....).

Last I heard, Mike was in his home studio doing some demos for some labels
he's negotiating with, where he will start a solo career.  His style will
not be too different from Stryper, but closer to a "heavy Bryan Adams"
kind of deal.  I can understand why he would be frustrated with the band,
what with all the flack the four of them have had to go through in the
past several years.  Keep praying for these guys that whatever kind of
music they make in the future, they will seek God for direction in their
decisions.  Hope this helps you.

Well, that's an interesting idea.  After all, this group does have some
of the best arguments one can find anywhere.  But without the music talk
and opinions it would be harder to get flames going.  I am especially
entertained by the pro/anti Amy's lifestyle and pro/anti secular music

to put another twist on things, in deep redneck country short hair is
a "sure sign" that someone is gay. and we all want to avoid the

naah, decaf's boring. wouldn't be a bad idea to lighten up. hair 
length doesn't -mean- anything unless the individual -wants- it to 
mean something. and you can't tell what that is unless you ask, which 
might just be another way to make some friends. (if you do it right.)

works for me anyway. i get mostly nice comments about my hair & have 
2 friends who originally approached me about it. i -did- get one
"You look like a girl!" objection, so i grew a goatee. ;^)>

Hi there-
I'm sort of a new fan of some of this music- I like the Winans 
a lot, but just heard a single by KIM HILL on a college station
here in Boston that I liked a lot.

Is her new CD worth trying out? I can't find it here -- the "gospel"
music sections are pretty pathetic in selection.

Any other good female singer-songwriters I should know about?

Funny how many of us on the list have gotten this stuff this week.  Count

Michael English sings it.  I don't know who wrote it.
It's a good song.  

Petra did a song with a similar theme
(and somewhat similar sound) on their "Washes Whiter Than" 
album.  If you like "Mary, Did You Know", I think you'd
like that one also.

Michael English sings it, it's the second cut (I think) on his Michael 
English CD.  I don't know who wrote it and don't remember the title, I think 
it's called "Mary's song" or something like that.

i was just wondering why some people find a "rock" beat offending? 
is there a certain type of music that they think that God feels is
"right"? because i'm wondering if it's that "old-english" sounding Hymn
stuff (which, don't get me wrong, i really like some of it), or is it
the Black Gospel type, which can get pretty "soulful", i.e. it can get
you really moving.  Both types seem (to me) to be a derivative of music
that was "secular" in the first place (classical & blues) but those even
had a spiritual beginning.  i just can't really understand why some
people feel this way about the sound of the music, as long as the lyrics
are definitely edifying God (& of course they include the "timbrel &
harp" in 'em!)

(i personally prefer the "harder" rap groups, SFC, PID, & stuff...)

What really annoys me is when people abbreviate things with X's.  Things
like "Ped X-ing" for "Pedestrian Crossing".  My dad used to say, "Yeah,
let's X some peds!  10 points for that one!"

I find 'alot' preferable to 'a lot', since the latter conjures up images
