Having worked with these musicians on this project, I was already aware of the excellence which would have gone into it. The combined genius of Richard Smallwood and Steven Ford makes this a CD you want to listen to over and over again. I can attest to that because I did. I read a review of the opening prayer being too long. Having been raised in a Philadelphia Pentecostal church, at 5 minutes, it was short; but I do understand what they meant by their comment. I must say not to labor on the opening prayer, for the long commute I have each day, that opening prayer is perfect timing. To the musicians out there, support the project and the ministry of Richard Smallwood. To the fans and supporters of Richard Smallwood, out the gate Anthology has to be the best project to date. In closing, this CD is nice. Bobby D
