NEW RELEASE: Christian Country Western singer, Gayla Earlene has a new album, "OMG" that you may hear at her site. I am humbled to share with you that I am the co-writer with Gayla on #7, "Let Me Love You Through Eternity". www.gaylaearlene.com
I wrote the original poem nearly fifty years ago, knowing it was music but I couldn't write music! So there it laid in my poetry collection. I had made a couple feeble attempts to show it to local musicians to no avail.
Thanks to an avid CW fan and relative, the dust collecting days on that poem have ended. My cousin handed this to Gayla at a CW week-long concert in 2008 in Manhattan, Kansas. My business card was stapled to the paper. Within months Gayla asked my permission to use this. She did some rewrite to better suit her and her music style. The rest is history.
She will release this song as a single after the first of the year. She wrote to me of the heightened expectations for the song. In her e-mail this weekend, she shared: "The compilation disc company that I've been going out on thought this would be one of my biggest songs, we'll cross our fingers and see. I told him, well for Claudette 's [sake], I hope it goes to number one!!! Anyway we hope it will touch the heart of somebody and make a difference in the world."
