Stephen Stav shared this.

The blog about the hymn singing has become quite “popular” I was very interested in it because I run a web site with a collection of around 40000 hymns and it is reasonably popular. I love the hymns.

Ehymnbook.org started off as the original dBase database running on DOS that I created for Stellenbosch Baptist to keep track of their worship schedules. The original listing is preserved in eHymnbook as:
http://ehymnbook.org/CMMS/songBook.php?id=bd00040

I last visited Bulwer Rd Baptist in 1999 and was shocked to see the pipe organ had disappeared. Apparently they no longer used it. I remember the days when we did records for SABC they loved our singing. Here is one of our favourites:

I am now living in Grabouw in the beautiful Elgin Valley and part of the worship team at the In His Rest Baptist here.

go well,
God bless
Neville

Ah well, I did say I would offer some other voices and that post was +++ popular, so some people relate to it. But it is too reactionary in my opinion.

I’m confused. It is also historically inaccurate, inaccurate with its music theory, inaccurate with its understanding of the music industry, mocks song writers and mocks technology. I wasn’t expecting this when I came to your blog. Perhaps I’m being to harsh. It reminds of Ecclesiastes 7:10 The sole reason I read your blog is to hear well researched and well thought debates. Please keep up the good work, I would rather listen to your voice.
