Hello Mrs. Gath, First off, I would like to Thank You for your posts. Threw you, I feel like I know Mr. Reeves just a bit better. You and Mrs. Jackson always know the answers to the questions that are posted here. I would also like to Thank Larry and Julie for all their hard work that they not only put into the new CD's, but this website as well. If it wasn't for them, Mr. Reeves, I feel would just fade into the sunset. Mary Reeves would be very proud of their never ending pursuit to keep him alive to us all. This website is the highlight of my day to read posts from fans from all over the world.
I recieved my copy of the new CD "Shepherd of Love" today in the mail. I have 2 words that come to mind, "Well Done"! I have all the VM/s CD's except most of the radio series, and I think this CD is the best of them all. Larry great job! The CD looks wonderful. The picture on the front is excellent, and shows Mr. Reeves at his handsome best. And the over dubs, my goodness.
Every song is so very well done. I think they all are far better than even the originals. "Distant Drums", was always just an ok song with me. But this version is outstanding.So clear and riviting, it sent chills down my spine. I never really liked "Is it really over", but I like this version. "I love You Because" is outstanding, I think the best of the many over dubs. "Billy Bayou" is my favorite on the CD. You just gotta snap your fingers to it! "Rudolf" is a treat, and I will be playing it for the Family on Christmas. The other songs are very well done, as well.
I have always loved "He Will". It is by far my favorite song of faith. But this version is so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes. Thank You Larry especially for this song.
For those that haven't ordered this wonderful CD, I hope that you can as soon as possible.

Merry Christmas and a Wonderful 2008 to all!
