Chapter 7 (Writing is Re-Writing)
"Let
Us Not Forget" is the song featured in Chapter
7 of The Craft of Christian Songwriting ("Writing is
Re-writing"). This recording is a one-take rough demo
- done by my co-writer, Regi Stone. Though far from a finished
recording, it will give you a clear picture of the song. (Plus,
you can hear what a true "work tape" sounds like.
Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. ~RS
"Jesus
Will Still Be There" was a huge hit for
Point of Grace. You can find it on the first CD and their
Greatest Hits CD. This recording is a demo version - Keyboards
and vocal.
(Many thanks to my wife, Cindy, for the excellent vocal performance
~ RS)

Through My Window"
Here is a simple piano/vocal demo (with a little
synth thrown in for good measure) of "December Through
