I sincerely hope that as you progress through this website, I may reflect a strong witness to my Christian faith and be an encouragement to you through my recordings on CD or through the keyboard music and orchestrations that are now available from these recordings for you to perform.

| As a Steinway recording artist, I have been privileged to collaborate with my brother, Don Marsh, orchestrator and producer, in recording albums which continue to be the top best-selling instrumental albums in Christian music: Hymnworks I and II, Symphony of Praise I and II, Hymnworks Christmas, A World of Praise, Rhapsody of Love, Rhapsody of Christmas. Moments with the Savior, recorded with the London Festival Orchestra, received a 2000 Dove nomination. Through this avenue, Don and I endeavor to reach to a broad spectrum of worship traditions and musical tastes. These piano and orchestra recordings have brought peace and inspiration to hundreds of thousands of listeners over the years. |

The Worship Collage CD is my debut album recorded on a new label, Cool Springs Records, which was released March 2006. This instrumental CD is a collage of hymns with classical and original themes played in a very inspirational and worshipful way. As a witness through personal appearance, I love to share my music in the concert setting or leading worship for a renewal conference. Other opportunities would be piano and orchestra concerts, special events in your church or city, women's conferences, or keyboard workshops. I enjoy the interatction with the audience by inviting them to sing along or by simply explaining to how the hymn tune relates to the classical theme. My hope is that this would be an unforgettable experience that heightens appreciation and love for the texts and melodies as they are performed in a new and refreshing way. When I share my personal witness of encouragement, I love the reaction to "I was 49 when I signed my first recording contract. Never underestimate God's plan for your life....no matter how old you are!" |

Sheri and Michael Joseph |
In the Fall of 2006, there were several changes in the McKechnie family. After 41 years in the Presbyterian Pastorate, Dave has retired from that specific ministry and has taken a new direction in his life. He is now the President of Texas Theological Foundation which will launch an extension of Fuller Seminary in the Houston area. Dave has always had a passion for Christian education and mentoring young people. This extension will be instrumental in educating future pastors and leaders from many denominations for the 21st century. As of Easter, 2007, Dave became the Interim Pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Houston. Linda is thrilled to be the "Interim Pastor's wife" and become a member of a new church community.
