Recently my friend Paul Mitchell sent me the following notice:

Recently I came across some fabulous congregational acapella singing at an "east Texas" church, and broadcast the above link to the some-43 songs. (I edited out songleader talking and dead space, etc). Others then broadcasted my broadcast. One person down the chain, who identified the church, emailed me the link to the congregation, the Kleinwood St. Church of Christ in Spring, TX. They have a website which posted the songs from many past years of annual singings, in which it is my understanding some 1200 people attend at one time, and if you want to get in, you better show up several hours early!
So I downloaded all they had, cleaned them up and now we have about 230 songs for the taking! Some of the recordings of past years are not as good as more recent ones, due to better equipment, and, I suspect they didn’t have the volume up too well on some songs. But rather than decide for you and delete those songs, I included them and maybe they will sound fine on your gear.
I’ve already copied all of them over to my walkman, hope you will enjoy them as much as I have been. Feel free to fwd to your own lists.

Thanks for your work on these. During our church hunt after moving to AL I decided I don’t so much care about the style of music, which instruments, or how loud. Assuming the content is good, I just like hearing the many voices of saints singing praise.
Thank you Todd for sharing, there are so many hymns I don’t know, but maybe one day will ;).
