First Church of Deliverance Chicago 

I did too. I listened every Sunday night in bed on a tiny transistor radio hidden under my pillow, I did so until the passing of Rev. Clarence Cobb. There was so much energy, I couldn't fall asleep after the broadcast! Even over the radio, I could "feel" the Holy Ghost doing His thing. It just wasn't the quite same after Rev. Cobb's passing. Now, under the current director, the choir today is nothing like what it once used to sound like under the former leadership and musicians, especially that fantastic organist from back in the day. Please go back to the original First Church of Deliverance musical repertoire and that fantastic unmistakable sound!

Most of those choir members are dead now, even the choir directors and instrumentalists. And the sound in Gospel music has changed. It is now a lighter, more pop sound. First Church has held onto as much of the past as it can, it seems. But things have changed, and so has its sound, somewhat.

Touched me! I grew up in the church.

Yes, and now he`s the pastor of the church.

There are microphones there, hanging from the celling.

I can hear them

You are right 100%, except for one thing. Rev. Bryson is the organist and is an excellent organist. However, he is always heavy on that expression pedal. I think it is all the way up. It is not clear if he has a hearing problem or what, but he usually plays too loud for the choir to be heard clearly. Of course, the other musicians follow his lead and play too loud as well. Most musicians know when they are playing too loud, so it is not clear what the problem here is all about. However, at First Church, the organ is the lead instrument, always. The piano is good for a recording, but for church services, it may as well not be there.

I enjoy First Deliverance complete music ministry in its Fullest. Sincere, Kenny Alexander.
