Shira Small, Marj Snyder and Becky Severson featured on new compilation album
IN A SURPISE move, a mainstream record company has reissued tracks
from the earliest and obscurest days of Christian music. Numero Group
have released the compilation 'Wayfaring Strangers: Ladies From The
Canyon'. It includes self-financed 'custom' recordings by Becky
Severson, a teenager back in the '70s with a song "A Special Path"
inspired by the book of Jeremiah; Marj Snyder and Shira Small a Harlem
teenager who cut the jazz gospel song "Eternal Life" whilst attending
a Quaker boarding school in rural Pennsylvania. The project also
contains tracks by secular artists
It's great to hear that some of Marj Snyder's original recordings have been remastered as part of compilation albums. Her simple accoustic music still ministers to people 30 years later and I'm sure will go through the fire of God with flying colors. What I want to hear is any new material that she may have written or recorded in the intervening years. Hopefully, if her remasters do well this might be possible in a way that is right for her and her family today. I'll certainly buy a copy. Sincerely, Ty Flanagan
