Dear Brother and Sister

I do indeed love your CD!!!

As you well know we are studying the chapter on wholesome entertainment in our
"Keep Yourselves in God's Love" book. Therefore receiving your website from another
spiritual sister of ours was very timely for me!

Your CD has helped me so much! I am a black spiritual sister who has loved
country music for many years! I do not listen to it very much anymore because
it is very difficult to find songs with lyrics that Jehovah would approve of.
Please allow me to sincerely Thank-You for this form of refreshing entertainment!
It was just what I needed in the area of entertainment!


Your Spiritual Sister,
Liz

Hello Dale,

Thanks for the tunes! I have my own little studio here in Napa,
California and am working on my 4th album. It's truly a delicate job to
compose songs that are just right for the friends....I spent 40 years in the
world and played with a bunch of worldly guys.
Soon to be released is my latest tune called "Mountain" based on Isaiah
2:1-4.....we had fun putting it together.
Great job on your songs....nice mix. Keep up the good work.

There are so many wonderful talented brothers and sisters in
Jehovah's organization - aren't there?
It's delightful when such precious talents are used to praise our
loving Father, Jehovah and "speak" Bible truths!
Thanks so much again for sharing!

Dear Brothers and Sisters.
This is a mail from Belgium.
We received your site from a friend and we love the idee of sharing beautiful music. The lyrics ( kingdom hall cleaning , when someone knocks ) are really amazing. We've never heard before from a a website were you can listen to kingdom melodies. Like we would say in Belgium ' Chapeau ' ( CONGRATULATIONS ).

Greetzzzzzzz N.D.

I viewed your video on cleaning the kingdom hall and enjoyed it very much.
I could not help think of the poor watchtower conductor today who when asking questions
per each paragraph spent much time looking for hands. At times it was only three to 4 (same people) raising their hands.
I, at one point thought I better get my hand up quick even if I don't have a comment just to support him. I figured if he called on me
I would think of something to say.
I was hoping you had made a video tribute to the poor WT conductor. or for that matter any
one of the brothers assigned a part with audience participation.
Thanks so much for your sharing.

          Hi Jess
          Thanks for your comments.
          Our Brothers encourage 30 second comments. 
          I think that encourages the the ones who have 'A lot  to say' to allow for the   timid 
          commentors to speak up.
          Every Hall is different. 
          Ok every body out there, HANDS UP - SPEAK UP......... HANDS UP - SPEAK UP.
          HEY THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD SONG.................... Where is my guitar?
         
          Dale

Hello My Brother, great web site. We had some Bethelites visiting our home this past weekend and we all throughly enjoyed all of your stuff, but especially "It's my turn to clean the hall". You know, only Jehovah's Witnesses would think that video was funny and it truly was. We can all relate to it.

Hi, just want to tell you that your site is very encouraging. Thanks for sharing all of those wonderful videos of the friends. Bobi

Hi Dale,
I just watched your video about cleaning the kingdom hall. I thought it was very cute. I was wondering where did you shoot the video at, where do you live? I live in Oceanside, California. I am guessing you live somewhere in the south because of the banjo music. Thanks for you talented way of expressing our experiences as being one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I really loved seeing all of our brothers and sisters beautiful smiling faces.

 Thank You,
Teresa

            I do come from Alabama but my home is in Phoenix. Central Heights Cong. Glad you Enjoyed it.

Do you have your songs in sheet music form? I think it would be great
to have and play for the friends here in McAlester, OK. We have a
small music group made up of friends and my husbands uncle just sent
me the link to your page and I love the music! I'm not good at playing
by ear though, i have to see notes, so if you don't mind others
playing your songs at get togethers we would really appreciate it.

            Hi Jennifer;
          Sorry I do not know how to read music or Charts. I just do it by ear.
          I wll try to get the chords added to the Lyrics that you can click on.
          Thanks for Visiting the site,
          Dale.

Hello!
Where are you located? I am in a band of brothers here in Taylor, Texas, called Good Grief!. We do all originals and play only for Jehovah's Witnesses, never in the world. We have a fun time playing at get-togethers, wedding receptions, anniversary parties, pizza parties, and talent shows. Here we are doing one of my songs at a recent talent show of JW's in Lago Vista, Texas:

Hi Dale,
This is wonderful video of your song and it arrived just in time because our book study group is scheduled to clean our KH tomorrow at 2 PM. I intend to bring your DVD and play it for the friends.

Hi,
Your song on cleaning the hall has made it over to this side of the pond. Since the meeting changed Jan 1st, our cleaning schedule changed too as based on group's, and we have struggled to remember who does it when.
I have suggested the attendant put's an MP3 version on a mobile / cell phone, and play it when those entering are on the list to clean that day.
I guess that's why I'm NOT the hall servant.....
Entertaining little site, have forwarded a link to a few other's, so bandwidth may suffer a bit of a hit,
thanks
andrew

Dear brother,
We wish we would have found you site and songs earlier in the month. My mother and I decided to auxiliary pioneer this month, but due to the large amount of snow and bad roads, we have spent most of it writing letters to get our time in. You songs have given us a good laugh and a renewed spirit, Thank you sooo much.

I love your songs and lyrics! I had purchased the other songs and just downloaded "THE LAST BLUES SONG." I think that my favorite of the ones that I already had - and listen to so often - is "It Rains on the Righteous" because only Jehovah really knows who is righteous. Because only he can read the heart. I just pray that he finds me worthy. Thank you.

This is the way music is supposed to be. It should make us sing and feel good about the lyrics. Brother....These songs are inspiring and encouraging. It is so amazing to think that in the paradise, we will have time to sing and reflect on all Jehovah has and is doing for us. Very nice album!!

Very well done. My favorite is, IT RAINS ON THE RIGHTEOUS. I find it true that we don't know who they all are and it isn't our place to say someones not. I just prey that maybe I could be counted worthy. My son loves the 'Singing Kingdom Melodies' so it is nice to have more songs that praise Jah with lyrics. Thanks.

Hi, i've just been listening and think the music is very encouraging and pleasant. Everytime I heard 'Jehovah' it made me smile. How nice. Thank you.
