    Hi everyone:

    First post here on this website. For me it's two songs:

    1) Will The Circle Be Unbroken (Currently working on for a Bluegrass Concert I am in in May 2013 on guitar)
    2) Somebody Touched Me performed by the Dillards

    The Soul Of Man or What A Friend We Have In Jesus are both fun to play.

    Man there are great many good ones. I'm partial to Softly and Tenderly. If you can find the version done by Cynthia Clawson, it'd be worth the effort.

    We do a lot of hymns at our monthly rescue mission gig, because they don't require any royalties...

    But I really like Great Atomic Power by the Louvin Brothers. I can't seem to get my band interested in it: they think it's a novelty tune.

    What a beautiful song. I've heard Eric Bibb, but I've not heard that one before. Man, that is very near the top of my all-time favorite songs now. Thanks!

    David Crowder Band has a bluegrassy/hymn type song on his Jan 2012 released "Give Us Rest" album that our church band is working on for Sunday. "Jesus, Lead Me To Your Healing Waters". Thought it was an old hymn redone at first. But when downloaded the sheet music. Noticed the words and music are listed as written by the band members. Lot of mandolin in it too...

    Wow...so many great hymns mentioned. I'd add Precious Lord, Take My Hand to the list.

    I play mandolin with my church chior.
    My absolute favorite hymn is Twyla Paris' "Lamb of God"
    I'm not sure if Ms Paris was thinking mandolin when she wrote the song, but it is beautiful when played on mandolin

    So I was tuned into my mother's voice and I noticed she sang a little bit louder and more soulfully when "Just As I Am" was played. I've wondered if, with me being the youngest and not the most aggressive child and perhaps lacking in self-esteem (boy have times changed!) if she sang louder for my sake or if it had a meaning for her that I'll never know. So "Just As I Am" is numero uno in my book.

    In the non-standard hymn category I love "Presence of the Lord" by Eric Clapton.
