About Louis

In a totally surprising vein for most of you who have read my entries before, I must include this…..

I am listening to recordings of gospel songs that we have done.

Louis has proven to have a strong yet tentative, very emotionally powerful voice.  I am sitting here with tears in my eyes, listening to him singing "He".  The chorus includes a line that goes "He still finds the time to hear a child’s small prayer".  Man, I can’t resist the tears anymore.

This kid is STRONG and doesn’t even know it.  Next comes "In The Garden", as recorded by Louis, as well.  Then it’s Barbara’s "Amazing Grace", which always forces the tears out of all of us.

It’s interesting…..it’s all from the same set of vocal cords, but the power, the tone, the feeling, etc. changes with each of us.  I’m not as tuneful, if you will, as the others.  Neither is Betty.  Barbara usually handles the softer, sweeter songs.  Jack can do almost anything.  Hermy is the goofy one who does the "fun" songs.  Louis, however, has depth.  I’m totally in awe of his power.
