Wow! Just wow! I love hearing voices at full power, rather than the whispering tones used by so many pop singers. Great job, Hayze and family!

Haze, This is a soul stirring rendition of one of my favorite prayers. I shall listen to it over and over and share it at feast in our Canadian community. Please do another one! You and your family have a beautiful gift to offer the world. Thank you and God Bless you!
