You Are Worthy To Be Praised

[Jeanette Blackshear]

Good evening all. Let me know what you think! Thanks

[Jeff Cattie]

Finally! I think this is a success, this piece. It didn't try to be anything other than what it was, and for that, applause from me at least.


I enjoyed it. Nothing wrong with it at all. Do you write in other genres, or is this the norm for you? It definitely sounds like you've taken this approach before.

Anyway, I like it. Can you post the words? Are there lyrics?

Thanks Jeff. Adult Contemporary happens to be my passion but I have written country, pop, rock, jazz, reggae as well. If you have time you can hear a few more songs @ http://www.youtube.com/jehnao

When you were a child you were precious
And now that you're grown you are restless
Follow your heart
Follow you dreams
You are worthy of the best (verse 1)

Listening to some of the other stuff. It's all very adept in its use of harmony and I can almost even imagine what might be being sung in the vocals. I was curious about the words, though... the one song 'I Know the Secret' had the kind of quality I expected 'If You Believe' to have... that sort of uplifting quality to it. Obviously, if the words were written with the song, it's not a good idea to just 'make it fit' to another set of lyrics, but it was just a thought that occurred to me. Also, I don't know anything but the titles, so it could turn out to be something completely different in meaning..

What's your background in music?

I studied with Ann and Andrew Salduitti here in NJ since the age of four. I taught for 12 years until I lost my husband 3 years ago.
