I first saw you in the early-mid 70s at our home church in Columbia, SC. I have 2 or 3 of your albums incl the self-titled one. Were you together in 1973? Did you tour then? The reason I ask is because the first verses I memorized were Col. 1:26-29, w/1:27 being the "foundational" verse of your band. I had an "emotional acceptance encounter" and responded to an altar call at a youth retreat in 1969, but it wasn't until early Feb in 1973 when I completely gave my heart to Jesus. Within 6 weeks I was leading Bible studies for our youth group with some help from my pastor and a Vice Principal at my high school... and then you came to our church! Reflecting on my first memory verse (your verse: Col. 1:26-29!) this AM reminded me of you and brought me here! I'm SO glad to see you're "still here", given the falling away/departure of so many of our generations over the years. Thanks so much for encouraging us to memorize the Word back then, so long ago! Outside of the Navigators and folks like you, few talked of the importance of memorization back then.Back around 1973 I was in high school and asked to preach at a youth night at a church in Houston. Afterward a band called The Hope of Glory performed in a small house converted to a youth building. Later I went to hear them in concert where it was announced that Bubba was getting married and that they had just bought their first tour bus. I remember one of the members was leaving to go back to play for a then famous rock band. Now this is about 47 years later and I hope I remember the facts. I just got my 8 track of their first album called THE Hope of Glory converted to CD. I do not believe it was produced by Tempo. Songs I loved - Power in the Blood, Motorcycle, Daybreak Joy, Jesus He's More plus all the rest. I just got the 8 track converted to cd and found I could still sing along and remembered the words. Two women also performed and had beautiful voices but their names are not mentioned. I think Bubba married one of them. I just reconnected with a church friend from back then and he remembered the names of the band members and mentioned they were the source of him playing in Christian bands and leading the music for churches. As the Blues Brothers said, "It's time to get the band together again."
I pray thus finds you well and hope to hear more of your journey.

Back in the early 70's, Hope of Glory spent about a week in Kingville, Texas, then went a little north to Corpus Christi. In Kingsville, the band met a young long haired blonde haired girl that ran around barefoot and blue jeans mostly. She also liked to do hand embroidery.--- Synchronet 3.21d-Linux NewsLink 1.2
I embroidered Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon triangular rainbow on the back of a blue jean jacket and a sunrise on the back pocket of a pair of blue jeans and I think with a dove.
If anyone remembers, I like to say "Hi!" and thank you for your kindness. I still remember ya'll, especially Melvin.

I heard Hope of Glory at Wichita Falls (TX) High School in about 1973-4. I was so moved by their music, especially their rendition of "Power in the Blood". And particularly the song "Only Jesus" which I performed at my brother's wedding several years later in 1981 with a Fender Rhodes. :) Those days are just gone. I am a United Methodist Pastor in Bridgeport Texas. fumcbridgeport.orgAll, has anyone received the copies of The Hope of Glory music? I would love a copy as well. - keith
