The first real recordings for the album project were a few drum tracks by Bill Maxwell, with Bill playing against temporary guide tracks. Listening to Bill's drum parts, we were impressed with how joyful and fluid just the drums themselves were... this led us to ask Bill to record an improvised drum solo.
Bill asked if we had any direction on what to play... we told him to play in such a way as to "tell people about Jesus." Bill selected a pair of cloth-covered mallets rather than traditional drumsticks, and played for three glorious minutes.
I was in the recording room with Bill during this time. We went back into the control booth to listen to the playback of the tracks. We all sat in silence listening to this beautiful, powerful music... at the end of the playback, Abraham said, "Bill, your playing has summoned the favor of God."
So listen and be blessed by Bill Maxwell playing Liquid Joy...
