It has been three months since I posted a picture of the house build. Since then we have all of the concrete work done and made massive strides on framing this past weekend. I'll try to keep y'all more up to date in the future. As soon as we're finished and moved into the new house, I plan on recording again!

Scam alert!

As many of you know, I have been away from the channel for some time because I am personally building our house. Occasionally I'll get on to check comments and reply. Today I noticed that someone has created an account that looks nearly exactly like mine with the same name as well as the same picture. They are replying to other's comments. This is not me! Please spread the word and report this user if you see these messages. I do not use WhatsApp and have never asked for donations on behalf of others. So far, I have reported two comments just like the one below. If they're deceiving in their name/identity, they're likely deceiving honest people out of money.

Hey brothers and sisters! Just figured I'd keep y'all in the loop. We've started erecting the concrete forms for the basement walls. Hang in there and I'll hopefully get some more recordings out by the end of the year!

Hello! There has not been much activity on the channel lately because my wife and I (and some family/friends help) are using our free time to build our first house. We got the basement slab done last week. When we get moved in to the house, I hope to have more free time for the channel. Hang in there!

Hello brother and sisters!

I wanted to make you all aware of a big singing that we'll be having here in Cookeville, TN on June 5th starting at 6:00 pm (central). If you're close enough and able to come, please do so! If you make it, please stick around afterwards so I can meet you! The singing should last about an hour and a half to two hours. Click/tap on the picture below for full details. If you enjoy the hymns on this channel, you'll definitely enjoy this time of worship with possibly 1,000 or more other brothers and sisters in Christ! -J. Elliot Bowman

Here's another poll!
I recorded six songs yesterday and if you're willing, you can vote for which one is posted next! Here are all six songs I recorded. I can only make a poll with five options. So if the other one is your favorite, remark in a comment.
"Speak, O Lord" (newer contemporary song)
"Did You Think to Pray"
"The Lily of the Valley" (I have found a friend in Jesus)
"Consider the Lillies of the Field"
"The Sands of Time"
"The Church in the Valley By the Wildwood"

I've been working on "The Gloryland Way" the past couple of evenings. Hope to have it ready for Friday morning. What a great song! I always look forward to sharing these recordings with so many great people from around the world. ( :

**Edit** - A kind listener sent me a link through email to a downloadable scan of Super Specials #3 on archive.org. Since this song book is no longer in print, this may be my best option.

Hello! I'm looking for sheet music for the song "I'm Telling the World About His Love" (1941). It appears to be in a song book called Super Specials #3 but used copies of that song book are going for $30 or so. Do any of you know of a different song book that this might be in? Or maybe you have a copy of Super Specials #3 I could borrow briefly? Please do not post pictures of the sheet music here as that would violate copyright law.

*Copyright Awareness*
There have been an increased number of people/churches downloading my videos (and other similar channel's videos), without permission, and then re-uploading those videos to their YouTube channels, also without permission. When certain churches have emailed me for permission to use my recordings, I have gladly allowed it - for free - while also giving them access to my high quality video files for their use. It is a violation of copyright law to download *any* audio/video from YouTube without permission (not just from my channel). It is an additional violation of copyright law to upload that audio/video without permission. And usually, audio/video quality suffers terribly with these free browser add-on downloaders.

While many traditional hymns are in the public domain, any recordings or typesetting of the sheet music for them is copyrighted as soon as it is created. Similarly, all of Bach and Beethoven's works are public domain. But recordings for them or edited sheet music of their work is copyrighted.

If your congregation needs to use my recordings for your online church service streaming, email me. I try to be a decent guy and have given free permission to many churches so far. But you must ask for that permission in email. I do not usually give permission to individuals/non-church channels but feel free to ask. Thanks!
