Solo gospel/blues piano version of “Amazing Grace.” Performed and arranged by Todd Allen Gates, author of “Dialogue with a Christian Proselytizer” – www.amazon.com My four YouTube channels: – youtube.com – my musician channel – youtube.com – where I discuss the ideas in “Dialogue with a Christian Proselytizer” – youtube.com – where I discuss the ideas in my book “Hunting, Gathering, & Videogames” (such as “Why do we have to work?” and “Why do we have to use money?” and “How should we define ‘success’?”) – youtube.com – where I play the background piano accompaniment for songs in Nick Gisburne’s book of lyrics “Blasphemy! Anthems for Atheists.”

Thank you!
> Bet you can’t play it that well behind your back though, can you?
No, I couldn’t play this version that way … but I think I could come close to the version played recently by Edward Current’s Christian cat (see his July 3rd vid).
hey, thats nice!
> hey, that’s nice!
Thanks scootersalih—and I’m honored to see that you saved it as a favorite!

> NICE!!!!!
Thanks!!
LOVE that people have expanded for the most part out of the norm and playing and singing Gospel to praise God with a different feel like Blues. Do you like R&B/Soul Gospel music?

Love it! My one other gospel video is “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” but more are on the way.

Well, I confess that praising what people refer to as “God” is not my motive, given my unbelief … but I never let my atheism interfere with my love for the Good Lord’s music!
@ToddGates is there anyway you’d be able to post/sell the sheet music for this arrangement?

Unfortunately there’s no sheet music–it’s just my own arrangement (and I don’t know how to use, and don’t own, the type of software that transcribes the notes while you play them). But I’m flattered by your request!
@ToddGates then who is the “Good Lord”?
@ToddGates Anyway, it’s a beautiful version of this song.

Old expressions die hard.

@kkingjohn13
> is there any way you could make a tutorial video
Work & family obligations unfortunately leave little time for YouTube these days, but I’m flattered by your request.
Just too dang short! I old (75) man learning to play jazz on upright bass. Just as I get into swinging with you – you STOP! Please, do it again but full length this time. I really need to play to keep my arthritic hands somewhat limber.

I’ll take that as a compliment: thanks!
