This music comes from an era in the early days of Messianic Judaism when there was an outpouring of the Spirit. I had not even heard of Messianic music in the 80’s, other than Marty Goetz and Paul Wilbur. In 2002, I found this music on cassette in the bargain bin at Messianic Jewish Resources. It had been released as Kol Simcha (Dawning of a New Day) and Cohen and Rose (Holy). Now, the 20 songs have been re-mastered in digital quality. I am ecstatic. This will be my Spring cleaning music as I prepare for Passover this year.
If you click on the title of this post you will get to the page describing the music and you can listen to samples.
What made me laugh and prompted this post was the confirmation email that just came from the independent music website that processed my order:
Thanks for your order with CD Baby!
Your CDs have been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.
A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing.
Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy.
We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, Monday, March 16th.
I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as "Customer of the Year." We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sigh...

Shalom, Tandi. I have been searching high and low for old Kol Simcha music, especially "Dawning of a New Day."
Do you have any of their albums still? I want to get them on Chavah Messianic Radio before they disappear from the web. Currently, I have "Sound of Joy" on vinyl, but am missing all the others.
I have Dawning of a New Day on cassette somewhere. I will look for it. Can you do anything with a cassette?
