Welcome

In 1985, an idea was born. This idea was to encourage young people to understand the importance and the joy of singing praises to God. Within a year a small choral group was formed. It was exciting and new. Under the direction of a young man named Randy Hargett, this group became more than just a bunch of kids, we became family. We not only sang together; we laughed, loved and cried together.

Enjoy.

It Got me where I need to be!

Last year at this time. I was bed ridden. I had just returned from two months in the hospital where I endured four major surgeries. One of which was open heart. It gave me much time to think about my lot in life. Where I've been, where I am and where I am going. So many thoughts race through your mind when the only thing you can physically do is... THINK!

I realized that my formative years (the teens) pretty much set me on the course that has lead me to the place that I am now. I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm not saying it was all wine and roses, on the contrary, there was some major pain and strife that was part of that season of life.

You have fights with friends, you get your heart broken by that teenage crush and you wallow in a little self pity for a while. Do you wanna know something? It's OK! Sometimes you need a little slap in the face a little time in the mire if for no other reason to learn the lesson that you don't have to stay in the mud.

Of course there are those time I wish I could relive. We all have those moments. And they are GOLD!

I recall a sermon I once heard by W. T. Alison. (Y'all know who that is) He recited a poem and the last phrase echoes in my mind as I write this.

"Memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy".

Because He gave me a song,

Old Style New Audience!

It took some time but I have managed to gather together many of our recordings. Although I am still missing a few. What's interesting, though, is the ones I had on cassette I converted to MP3's so I could listen to them in my car and on my IPOD. (I have to confess that I did a little tweaking in my home studio) Friends of mine from way up here in Michigan liked the stuff. Who can blame them really!

I am constantly being asked for copies so they too can enjoy the smooth grooves of "TAS". Do you get nostalgic? Me too.

I'm still missing a few of the album's but I'm sure I can track them down eventually. If you have copies let me know. To find out what I'm missing just look at the discography.
