A Call For Renewal
VERSE 1: (John)
We have sown to the wind,
We have gone our own way,
We have left You out in the cold.
You gave us Your word;
You are true and just,

Sometimes, just a bunch of rubbish from a soundcheck can be used to create something interesting. In this case, setting up to record tenor sax (with a tin-foil pie plate covering the bell), some microphone taps, and a bit of vocalising, most with…
