Amazing Grace played with the Choir of The Woodlands UMC

The music minister at The Woodlands United Methodist Church contacted me to play Amazing Grace with their choir for a worship service. This arrangment of Amazing Grace is one of my favorites. 

I wanted to post a link to the video to share... This is the full song, with choir from the beginning.

I was contacted by Allison Funeral Home to play at the graveside for one of the pilots who went down in Galveston. The service was held on Wednesday January 11, 2017 at 1:00pm. The locaton for the memorial service was at North Main Baptist Church in Hardin followed by a graveside service at Guedry Cemetery.

I had to play Amazing Grace at the graveside. Because they did not know how long the service was going to take, I had to get out there early to be ready when they arrived.
