Very true! As long as the songs are good, who cares?

Exactly!! The first one is excellent, so I am looking forward to this one.

Where can you hear an example?

Probably at the official site, or the Eugene page.

Okay, thanks! I will have to look at FOTF too.

I do not know if FOTF has samples up or not but the Eugene page has clips of two songs.

Somewhat off-topic, but it appears WhitsEnd.org has used a couple quotes from our dear friends, Laurie and AIOfan11!

http://www.whitsend.org/eugenereturns/eugenesings2.html

WhitsEnd.org wrote:Adventures in Odyssey fans can't stop talking about Eugene's first-ever musical album – designed for families or anyone who loves imaginative songs. "I absolutely love this album," says 'Laurie' on a fan message board. "It is very hard to pick a favorite."

WhitsEnd.org wrote:Fans aren't the only ones taking notice of Mr. Meltsner's new singing career. Aspiring Retail Magazine praised Eugene Sings! for its originality: "Several music styles such as gospel, honky-tonk, country and even scat are explored in a fresh and fun way" (July 2005 issue). The 17 original songs are distinguished by "rockin' ukulele music for added zing," as Christian Retailing Magazine put it (July 4, 2005). Yet a few fans also like the simplicity of some songs, like 'Miss AIOFan' who wrote, "I just want to hear Eugene croon."

Sorry for the double post...

BUT, I got my copy today! I really liked it! Totally funny! Although, the last track was a little strange...

Anway, now I'm just waiting for my copy of Eugene Sings to get here...

I am so glad to hear that the Christmas album is good. I have not had a chance to listen to my copy yet.

I picked up a copy of Eugene Sings Christmas this past Sunday. Although I have not yet listened to all the tracks, I must say I'm pleased with what I have heard thus far.

I may get it. I haven't even bought the first Eugene Sings yet. Perhaps on my birthday list.

I'll definately buy the "Eugene Sings! Christmas" album! Once I buy it (which will probably be very soon), I'm sure I'll love the songs, but I'll have to close my eyes each time I open the CD to avoid looking at the front cover

I know. I don't like it either.

"I consider this CD to be complete and utter tripe... an absolute abomination to the good name of Focus on the Family, Adventures in Odyssey, and the character of Eugene Meltsner. Shame on you, Will Ryan, for promoting this despicable brand of 'music' to impressionable children."

BOOYAH! QUOTE THAT, AIOHQ!!!!

(not that it really reflects my views, as I haven't heard it... I just want to see if they print it! $\:D/$ )
