Christmas Music For Morrison Park

Christmas Music for Morrison Park is a musical CD release featuring local performers with all the proceeds going directly to the restoration of the Historic Morrison Park Holiness Camp Meeting Grounds located about 4 miles from Glasgow, Kentucky on Hwy 63.

Morrison Park is governed by a Board of Directors, but belongs entirely to the community. There is however, absolutely no funding provided from any source, other than personal contributions, and money raised from various events and projects. Our current fund raising project is the Christmas for Morrison Park CD. The CD features local performers who gave their talents as well as contributing an equal share of the production cost. This enables 100% of the proceeds to go directly to the park’s restoration. The CD features several different styles of music, from contemporary, traditional, Southern and Country Gospel and one track even features a Celtic harpist. The songs are wonderfully performed and professionally recorded by Wayne Sexton (Sexton Recording Services in Cave City, Kentucky). Some of the performers include Sexton, The Heavenly Heirs, Judge Phil Patton, Dennis Devore, Debi Simmons, Robbie Jones, Joy and Anthony Greer, Randy Richardson, Sheila Atwell, Marshall Bailey, The Greers, Anne Bewley, Dane Bowles, Sharon Burgess, Herman Hume, along with other singers and musicians. The Christmas selections include, A Strange Way to Save the World, A New Star Shining, Carols Sing, When Love Was Born, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, The Angels Cried, and more traditional tunes like, Silent Night, White Christmas, and Jingle Bells. The CD gives the community an opportunity to enjoy a new collection of great Christmas Music, and hear some local talent they might otherwise never get to experience, as well as doing so much to help out such a worthy cause. The Morrison Park Camp Association hopes you will consider participating in this great fund raising effort. The greatest treasure of all on the CD is a short segment featuring the actual voice of Henry Clay Morrison from a 1930 radio address, provided by Asbury Theological Seminary Archives. The CD will sell for $10 and may be purchased at Awards Inc. on the square in downtown Glasgow, and from many of the performers included on the CD.
