Dear friends,

Thank you for your continued interest in the music publishing web
site, "Songs of Praise by Gilberto Barreto and Friends", which is 
located at:

      http://web2.airmail.net/cots/gilberto.htm

Just a quick email to wish all of you a merry Christmas and to tell
you about the latest musical additions to my site.

- "Our Song of Victory" - Larry Holder wrote this wonderful song back
  in 1992.  It is intended for a choir.  I asked him if I could try
  my hand at enhancing the midi.  You can hear the results.  What an
  incredible song!  The whole world needs to hear this song!  The
  music score is online at Larry's site.  Larry says he still has 
  some paper copies if you would like this for your choir.

- "As I Rise To Walk With Him" - Larry and I wrote this one together.
  The music style is bluegrass and the lyrics are a celebration of
  new birth in baptism.

- "The Lord Is My Portion" - Gilberto wrote this song in a blues
  style and also created the midi.

- "Lord You Are" - Another song by Gilberto, with Janet Goh of
  Malaysia contributing the lyrics.  Like "Our Song of Victory". this
  is a little challenging and would work best for a choir. Gilberto
  also created the midi.

- Our Christmas page finally got listed on Yahoo, and the traffic
  went up 8X in one day.  Thanks Yahoo!  The Christmas site is at:

That's all for now.  Did you know that people from 56 countries have
signed up to be on this mailing list?  Praise God for making the
internet available to us!

Yours in Christ,
