Peaceful Praise (Instrumental Favorite Hymns) is one of three favorite hymn albums with over 53 minutes of listening pleasure. These arrangements continue the peaceful, flowing style of the beautiful grand piano played by Gary Prim. Soft strings enhance many of these new-sounding arrangements of favorite hymns. The soft, soothing style of these great hymns will appeal to anyone seeking calming, reflective music. God's Great Family is a chorus written by Dave Combs. Dave Combs, a native of Erwin, Tennessee, grew up in a family that enjoyed making music. Both of his parents and his grandmother Combs played the piano. During his college years, Dave played the piano and served as choir director for his home church in Erwin. After college he moved to Winston-Salem, North Carolina where he served as Minister of Music at a church and worked as a computer systems engineer. Dave's first musical composition, Rachel's Song, was recorded by Gary Prim in 1986 and continues to be a popular instrumental standard around the world. Since that time, Dave has written, produced, and released several additional instrumental albums of beautiful and inspiring melodies. An article written by Dave about how music has changed his life and touched the lives of millions of people appeared in the September 1994 issue of Guideposts magazine (a reprint of "Two-Part Harmony" can be found on the CombsMusic website). Dave and his wife, Linda, live in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Gary Prim is a very gifted, talented, and versatile artist and professional studio musician.
