Music For Handbells

Handbells are one of my very favorite things. I've been writing for bells since 1982. My very first published piece was written while I was at a church that didn't even have bells. I missed them so much that I began writing for them.
That first piece was an arrangement of B. B. McKinney's great hymn "Glorious Is Thy Name". It was published in Handbells a publication of LifeWay Christian Resources. A friend of mine, R. G. Huff, framed that first song for me as a Christmas present. It is still hanging up in my home. That one published page of music was such a thrill for me that I started writing more and more.
