Well, now I have done it.<\/p>\n

I mentioned in December<\/a> that I had heard a song on WSIE sung by Charles Glenn, the former St. Louis Blues hockey national anthem singer–although to be honest, I kind of missed the Charles Glenn era, attending the majority of my games when Edward Curtis, the previous national anthem singer, held the office.<\/p>\n

I thought I would buy the album it was on if I could find it, and a couple of Internet searches could not identify the source. I suppose I could have reached out to WSIE, but, c’mon, man, it was a passing fancy.<\/p>\n

But sometime between the original post in December and an allusion to the song in a January post<\/a>, the name of the album appeared on the Soundcloud post. Or maybe it was always there and I just didn’t see it. Regardless, I visited Soundcloud to hear the song, and in another round of searching, I found a copy of it available.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"BookWhich arrived today.<\/p>\n

Nominally, it’s Larry Barker’s, the pianist’s, album with Charles Glenn providing the vocals on a number of tracks. It’s fourteen songs:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. “The Character of God”<\/li>\n
  2. “John 4:24”<\/li>\n
  3. “Octavius”<\/li>\n
  4. “All Hail The Power of Jesus’ Name”<\/li>\n
  5. “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”<\/li>\n
  6. “The Very Thought Of You”<\/li>\n
  7. “Deep and Wide”<\/li>\n
  8. “O Lord, Draw Near”<\/li>\n
  9. “Lord, I Give My Praise To You”<\/li>\n
  10. “Ray of Hope”<\/li>\n
  11. “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”<\/li>\n
  12. “My Attorney Bernie”<\/li>\n
  13. “On the Street Where You Live”<\/li>\n
  14. “Great Is Thy Faithfulness”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So it’s got a couple of jazz standards, a couple of jazz piano numbers, but it’s mostly hymns, albeit jazzy hymns.<\/p>\n

    I’ve already listened to it and have passed it onto my beautiful wife because I think she’ll enjoy it.<\/p>\n

    And I’ve already taken a moment to taunt the Internet that I own this rather collectible bit which I bought from a bookstore in Michigan, apparently, that did not know what it had.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
