I thought Picture of Grace was on a CD ?
There is a very interesting “tidbit” of info. about this song………………
I remember when it first hit radio, David Phelps was still with the group. After he left, they re-cut it and sent this 2nd cut of the song on radio. What struck me as very odd is that in some parts…most noticiably “Where once hung a potrait of gloom and despair, this masterpeice hangs in it’s place” , they replaced David’s leads with a trio vocal with Guy taking the lead, then that led right into Guy doing solo “It’s signed with His love, and……..” so on and so forth till the end of the chorus.
BUT, that was on one or 2 repititions of the chorus. On the last few times of singing the last couple lines of the chorus, David’s original lead was left in. In addition, David’s harmonies were left on the 2nd radio cut. Are you CONFUSED YET??????????? I am.
Go figure. Your guess is as best as mine as to the specific reasoning as to why people do exactly what they do. And no, I am in no way implying anything against anyone.
The only thing that bugs me is that the “punched in”,or “edited” parts, as it’s called, sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the song. The audio quallity and tonallity is different, the mix is different, levles are slightly different.
But hey, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to prepare a radio single.

I agree, Picture of Grace is beautiful, needs to be done live! Jonathan Pierce will be missed if he does not make it.

Terry & Barbi Franklin have dates for July 20/21 and July 26/27 on their website. It would be too bad if Terry couldn’t make it, but I am glad that if it’s those two, that means that some of the ones I named in comment #22 will be there.
