The ABC’s Good Friday morning program featured some of the greats and admired how poetically beautiful, transcendent and relevant to our Faith these are in contrast the some of the later material. I guess that it is hard to capture the original emotional and haunting melodies associated with the crucifixion with a guitar.

Somehow an otherwise great service let down by the music always leaves me with a feeling that we have lost something precious.
