I have given this item as a gift to many older Christians and it has been much appreciated. Although some of the modern hymns are very nice indeed, it is just nice to sing the old ones and remember the happy times of fellowship we had together many years ago. I know that some of the older hymns are still sung in many churches and we can also enjoy them on Radio 2's Sunday Half Hour with Brian dArcy but my friend likes to take her old hymn book with her at bath time and sings the hymns for her own enjoyment! I hope she will listen to this CD and enjoy a sing a long for a special birthday.
