Hymns for Terry Francis

HYMNS FOR TERRY FRANCIS "Terry was probably my best friend, a big man with a big heart.  We worked together and often shared conversation and points of view.  He was a Catholic and I was an atheist.  I told him that I often imagined him behind a pulpit preaching sermons to his congregation.  Then our jobs took us in different directions, Terry worked in the community sector with particular emphasis on interfaith dialogue, he later became a Vicar. For a while our lives took us in different directions until, incredibly, he became Vicar of two churches in my hometown.  I attended his first sermon to a packed church. In September 2017 he suffered a brain stroke from which he never recovered and passed away in April 2018 at the age of fifty-five.  I never saw him again after his stroke except to attend his funeral. This album is my gift to Terry – a truly wonderful man, inspiration and friend – taken too soon, but never forgotten.  Rest In Peace ‘Biggus’." ___________________________________________________________ "The Hymns album is very cool.... the atmospheric effects are perfect.."
