Alton Merrell playing "Thank You Lord" by Vincent Tharpe
For inspirational/teaching purposes, below is a video of me playing organ
this past Sunday (1/27/13). I'm playing the gospel song "Thank You
Lord" written by Vincent Tharpe. I think it is a good illustration
of how to play gospel within the context of a band.
