After an auspicious beginning as a royal land grant from French king Louis XV to a wealthy French citizen of New Orleans in 1763; the land Michoud Assembly Facility occupies remained in private ownership until 1940; when it was sold to the US government. Prior to World War II; the site was used to grow sugar; hunt muskrat; and build railroad and telephone lines. In 1941; the worldrsquo;s largest industrial site was built; covering 43 acres of unobstructed; low-humidity; air-cooled space under one roof to construct C-46 cargo planes. The Korean War required the assembly of Sherman and Patton tanks there; while the space race compelled the design and assembly of the colossal Saturn I; IB; and V rocket boosters for the Apollo program that reported directly to Dr. Wernher von Braun. The 1970s saw the fabrication of the enormous external tank for the Space Shuttle program. Today; Michoud Assembly Facility continues to support the US space program by building major components for the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (or MPCV).

I play piano for weekend services; funerals; and weddings; and this book always comes in handy. The hymns are appropriate for numerous occasions and love the respectful nature of the book. Brickmans arrangements do a phenomenal job of glorifying God. Im not a huge fan of the vocal songs; as I mostly use these for a prelude/postlude pieces. As a whole; this book is my favorite to use in worship settings. Its comparable to Lorie Line; but the song lengths are better for the services I play for. You wont be disappointed with this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I feel like this book was a complete waste of my moneyBy JunkieMost of the songs are just accompaniment for someone to sing and dont even have the melody in the arrangement. They are not songs to play for solo. I know that it is a piano/vocal/chords book and not solo piano; but I thought since it was written by Jim Brickman that the songs would still be playable on their own. I feel like this book was a complete waste of my money.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. simple clean and refreshingBy CustomerEasy to per f2f o and refreshing for audience to hear...I use.this music in my church for solos.
