"I opted to forget my Sunday nap to attend an afternoon gospel music concert that featured pianist Calvin Taylor at Lubbock's First Presbyterian Church. What a wise choice I made.

"Taylor was a child prodigy in music. He holds degrees from Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, University of Michigan and University of Kentucky. Also, he studied at the Dick Grove School of Music where he learned from such popular music composers as Henry Mancini, David Raksin, Nelson Riddle, and Grove.

"Taylor has been in fulltime music ministry more than 35 years, touring the world as a performer, arranger, and composer. Why hymns? he was asked. No other music provokes such a powerful effect on people, he said.

"I came home with four of his albums, a great antidote to the insanity sweeping our world."

BETH PRATT retired as religion editor from The Avalanche-Journal after 25 years.
