My wife and I were big fans of Children of the Day

I actually auditioned for them when they were looking for a new guitar player/vocal back up (1972?). Didn't make it. It might have helped if I knew their songs. However, I knew all the "Love Song" songs at the time. But they weren't auditioning.

Chuck Girard is still around and producing music. His daughter is in the group Zoe Girl. They were at our Church a couple of weeks ago.

"Chuck Girard is still around and producing music."

So is Phil Keaggy-one of my favorite.

Interestingly enough the author mentions how he liked to listen to Phil but I can't tell whether this was before Phil became a Christian (1972) or after when he started to produce Christian music. Since this is a testimony of someone becoming a Catholic shunning music, for those who are not aware, it is interesting to note that Phil Keaggy was a Catholic who left an extremely lucrative career with the Glass Harps and left the Catholic Church to produce Christian music at a time when Christian (rock-n-roll) music was in its infancy. Phil's music was not what would be considered hard-core rock-n-roll and so I'm a little puzzled by what the author finds objectionable.

Thanks for the link.
