It occurs to me that not everyone who may drop in to visit this place already had my three (3!) CD’s. So this is to let you know that you can buy me and take me home. (As my sister said when I sent her the first albums, “How wonderful! Now I can turn you off.”)
If you want a preview, go to
Annball.com
which is a wonderful site anyway, run by a terrific and prolific author – and she has a section on me, and you can sample two or three of the songs from Sacred Songs. Buy one of her books while you’re there.
The three CD’s are:
Father John Sings Sacred Songs
The Several Sides of Father John
Father John LIVE in Concert
Each is $10 (including shipping) and can be ordered directly from me or from the Jesuit Office in New York Money goes to support the work of the Jesuits in Nigeria and Ghana. (Through me is probably easier, since I know I have copies of all three disks – I’m not sure New York does anymore.)
The first is the most popular – everyone likes the standards. Listed below are the selections on each disk:
