Vuyani Celtavigo Bonakele 23Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, 24The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. 27And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

WOW!!!! Soooo great; I just sat here listening to our Ghanaian cousins and feeling so proud. This black man just sat, in America, with pride feeling warm inside hearing your melodious voices singing. I've never heard of you before and have become a fan. Thank you for doing us an honor with your skillful presentation of our great Anthem. :)
