As a contributor on this album, I want to note that we did not have the advantages of a professional recording studio on this project, and we did all the recording “in house” (make that “in sanctuary”) in a learn-as-we-go-along multi-track mis-adventure. Though not individually credited on the CD for this, special thanks to Jeana for her work on the mix-down. She put in hours of hard work mixing various tracks together, only to hear complaining (albeit good-natured complaining) from various band members, a’la “turn this part up, turn that part down, these tracks aren’t fitting together just right,” and so on. If Jeana spent fewer than 100 hours trying to line all those tracks up, over and over, I’d be surprised. But we hope folks will enjoy these songs … and thanks to everyone at Glenwood for your kindness in supporting our little band. It is a growing ministry, and we hope you’ll stay with us!

Kevin –
I’ve heard many positive reviews from recent purchasers of what is sure to be a Billboard smash. I have not, surprisingly, heard anyone mention where the picture on the cover originated from. I’m not telling unless they guess.

Yes, based on recent sales figures, I understand that as soon as we move an additional 999,990 units, our album will be “gold.” Hey, it is good stuff, and I hope listeners will enjoy it (I’m only sorry my vocals didn’t come through more clearly). // WHAT!!? You mean no one has come forward and identified the mystery image on the cover? And do I understand there is a prize to be awarded to the first “Matlock” who steps forward with the answer? [Rick Smith, you are ineligible for this prize, but thanks for playing.]

What is this prize I’m ineligible for? A Flintstones Rock Ball, or a Flintstones Funhouse mirror, in specially marked boxes of Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles?

Rick, I am terribly sorry, but you have already been awarded the valuable prizes referenced. I direct your attention to November 8, 1985. I trust you have taken good care of them.

SPECIAL SHINE BLOG CONTEST
Okay, let’s get serious. To help publicize this fantastic blog-able church website that Brian Beasley has put together for everyone, I am taking the liberty of creating a formal and official “special blog contest,” to include a valuble prize (Rick, no fooling). Everyone is eligible to play. Rules and prize information follow. But first, here are the six contest questions. GOOD LUCK:
1.) On the Christian Endeavor “Always Loved You” CD cover image, if a person were to walk past the cross and continue down through the woods for 100 yards, that person would: (a) cross highway 86 (b) see a water tower (c) need a canoe (d) discover a spooky abandoned cabin (e) find Traci Carter hiding with squad III.
2.) On the closing track of the CD “Always Loved You,” what word (noun) is used exactly four times in the lyric?
3.) On track 11, what is Tim’s last name?
4.) If the track times for even numbered songs are added together, then multiplied by the church’s street address, and finally divided the number of books in the Old Testament whose titles feature the letter “Z”, what number is produced?
5.) On this mysterious spot at Glenwood a person who comes to SHINE from Virginia in the month of October can see four of these. All four are different. [Stay tuned to this blog for additional clues in the coming days.]
6.) Return to the cover image, and imagine walking in the opposite direction until you arrive at a quaint and peaceful church graveyard. There you will find a stone edifice bearing the names of Revolutionary War soldiers. How many soldiers’ names appear on that graveyard monument? (a) twelve (b) seventeen (c) twenty-six (d) thirty-three (e) forty-one
RULES: Submit your answers to Kevin in person, or by email to ksmith@policehelp.net. A winner will be announced at SHINE on Sunday evening, October 26 (answers must be received prior to Oct. 26, of course). You must be present at SHINE to win. A drawing will be conducted in the event of a tie. PRIZE: $25 Gift Certificate to TRIPPS Restaurant.
In the meantime, I hope everyone will enjoy this great website for the Glenwood Presbyterian Church! SHINE ON!
