Editorial Reviews LOST AND FOUND made their first national concert tour on bicycles. Originally from New York, they rode their bicycles (with no accompanying support vehicle) from New York to St. Louis, to Miami, to San Diego, to Seattle, and back to New York. The trip took them 340 days, covered around 8,000 miles and provided them the opportunity to play 270 concerts. Though they mostly fly places these days, LOST AND FOUND concerts still have the spirit of two guys riding their bikes around the country, meeting people, forming friendships, and selling original recordings of their songs from out of their backpacks. Through it all, the one message they wish to share is that God has loved each of us with an everlasting love whose name is Jesus. The whole idea for this CD grew out of our desire that more people, especially those worshipping in congregations using contemporary "worship songs," or, "choruses," would have the chance to consider the rich hymnody of the Church. It seems to us that many people have dismissed the hymns because they only think of hymns as agonizingly slow, requiring immense musical and vocal skill, and always including a pipe organ. We think the content of the songs as well as the tunes are worth recovering and conserving. In fact, the content, we think, is so significant in some of these hymns, that they are worthy of further discussion along the lines of poetry. While we understand the need and desire for simpler songs with words that are easily understood on the very first read, we also think there is room for these more meaty theological songs in the worship life of the Church. We grew up singing these songs—and 560 others in this vein—and we’d like our listeners to sing and appreciate them as well. The CD includes text files of discussion guides for your group. These are easily used with any age group, and they are designed to be easily adapted for length and time.

About the Artist
LOST AND FOUND is Michael Bridges and George Baum. Michael plays the acoustic guitar and George plays the piano. They have been writing, performing and recording songs together for nearly fifteen years.

Album Description
This is a collection of traditional hymns, performed and recorded by LOST AND FOUND. Though the songs are traditional and well known, the style is traditional only to those who have seen and heard LOST AND FOUND for years. We play the songs in our usual acoustic thrash style, and sing them with the urgency we think they deserve.
