I just spent the last 10 minutes on your site.... WOW!!! This site is absolutely wonderful. Besides having a wonderful selection of gospel midi's, I really like the church service idea... how ingenious. This link will definitely be on my SOUND page, which I am in the process of building.



Your site is very well put together.



Check on the blackgospel.com site for your link in the next couple of days! God bless.

From: JoEllen Wiese

This is the best midi page I've visited yet!!! What an incredible job you have done!!!



Tell me, do you have any idea where I could find "This Little Light of Mine" for my children. It was one of my childhood favorites, and now I see my children share the same attraction to it.



Thanks so much for sharing this page with us!



Sincerely,

Whoo-we! I sang with the Bowling Green University Men's Chorus (OH) and I really loved doing the gospel numbers they had such life and love for God. I am today born-again American Baptist, music lover, and computer enthusiast, and having aquired a Soundblaster MIDI card, was surfing for the MIDI file to "Gentle Shepard" and came on your page. Bowled over! Love it! I may even try to do one of them at church it is so good to hear the music again. God bless you for what you are doing!



In Christ!

I came across your GOSPEL MIDI page a few weeks ago, and I must admit, I am hooked. Not only do you have the BEST Gospel on the net, I believe you have the BEST website on the net. Listening to the song's on your site makes me feel like I'm in church on Sunday morning. They don't have that mechanized sound. The music is both beautiful and

inspirational.



Also, for over a year I have been searching for a particular midi or wav song on the net and you were the only one I've come across who has it. The song is titled "CALVARY" by J.D. Bushell. I've been looking for this song played on the organ in that sort of heavy, wailing, traditional style. Have you come across anyone else who has it? Is Bushell the original writer of this song, or one of the persons who arranged it. I would appreciate any info you have on "Calvary".



And again, thanks for having the BEST site and music on the net.

Dear Mel Owens,



I have been surfing the web for several months since I bought my Korg i5s workstation,looking for a site with material like yours. You have done an absolutely "awesome" job with it!! Just listened to your "Where Could I Go". I did a midi file for my choir of this song(attached), and never got quite what I was looking for. Yours is very good.



I am the music & worship leader at South Shaver Baptist Church in Houston, Texas. I lead worship from the piano, or keyboard. I have a choir of 10-12. I'm hoping midi will help me make tracs, ect. Also will use for worship some, especially on Sunday night when I do more Praise & Worship like stuff.



I look forward to downloading several of your files tommorow.



In Christ,



James L. Smith

I enjoyed your music very much. Many of them are very well done. I just got my new computer a few weeks ago and got a really nice sound card. I have been browsing the web looking for good files to use.

I am a puppeteer, and often perform for my church. I was hoping I can use some music with them. By using a MIDI file, I can edit the song to be as long as I want. I have enouch music knowledge to know how to end it well, but not enough to create it from scratch. So I can just edit the MIDI score to do the music the way i want.

Dear Lazarus ....

 

I Just Discovered Your Web-Site Today!   What a Fantastic Collection of Gospel Music!  I Enjoyed & "Saved" Many of Your Arrangements.  This Music Will Be  Blessing to Me -Whether or Not I Am At My Computer.  Having Been Blessed With A Son Who Gave Me This Computer, Along With A Great Set of Speakers+Sub-Woofer ... You Can Just Imagine How Great This Music Sounds.



 

I Especially Love All of Andrae Crouch & Doris Akers Music. Then...When I Found The Arrangement by Judson W. Vande Ve Venter ... I Played It Over & Over. How Can I Get In Touch With Him & Let Him Know What A Blessing His Music Is To Me?

 

God Bless You for Your Vision & Work In Giving The

Internet World This Touch Of Spirituality. The Hard Work & Dedication of Each Artist/Composer in Making These Midi's Will Be Rewarded in Heaven.

I am impressed that the music on your site would be accuratelyplayed on my piece of junk P5/100 with a 16 bit soundblaster knock-off from Taiwan, but Praise God, it works fine. Thanks for having this site online. I hope that you can provide some more music as time goes by. I truly need more music for our small but dynamic choir here in Cockeysville, Maryland. We'd like to sing: I still have joy, Jesus is the reason for the season, For this I give you praise, He's able, and some of the other "new" favorites. I hope that your site can publish the words and music for small choirs. We don't have much money but I am sure that we'd be able to make some kind of donation for the music. Praise God that maybe you'd be able to let us know at 410-628-0138 on where we can purchase good Gospel music for Cockeysville Baptist Church.

Dear friends, If you have bookmarked any pages that have 'super.zippo.com' as part of the address you will need to substitute 'newsguy.com' for that part of the address as Super Zippo has changed its domain address along with its name change earlier this month. The alternative is to go to the main page above and rebookmark on the new address.
