Spirit Cadenza Mix
The band, Acoustic Nun™, was an existantless early 70s group of syncopations contributed by the Trinity, the muse of all glorified music, and the Nun. Though never dormant, the songs oscillated between passé and present but forever love and praise.
Recorded here are Acoustic Nun™ copywritten songs then and now. Also are a few covers of Nun’s favorite hymns.
“Sing to him a new song, play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.” Psalm 33:3
