Dear Al:

Perhaps we could use a subtitle with
the show; and instead of calling it "The
Gospel Glow" (since folks in speaking of
it will use the in front anyhow" call it
simply:

GOSPEL GLOW

From the Manger to the Mountain

by
Langston Hughes

The title of the theme song remains
unchanged, THE GOSPEL GLORY, but revising
the first line to be sung to sound as if the
last syllable of glory is cut off:

My soul is filled with the gospel glow--
Gospel glow--glow gospel glory!

No other changes. This will give us the new
title in the first line of the song. We don
need it elsewhere.

If Delden Records wishes to do a produ
album of the show, I'd say O. K... Also, p
haps a radio or TV presentation might be ar-
ranged... And with a reduced choir, it migh
later be made a touring unit to be booked in
churches outside the New York area--like Ne
Haven, Philly, Trenton, Washington.

Kindly contemplate upon these things.

Sincerely,
