got the cds from Larry Woodlee
I had received the Cd copies of the record Lew Charles in Chimes at Dusk. Since the record is out of print, what Mr. Woodlee had done was transferred the record onto Cd. These days who has a record player? Well I'm sure we do in the basement somewhere, but I'm too lazy to get it. Anyway, surprisingly the Cd's themselves didn't play onto my pc. I guess that my pc was just picky and didn't play that particular brand Sony Cd-R. I did however manage to play it on my DVD/VCR recorder and it sounded just beautiful. I believe that those chimes are Mass Chimes, but they sound just like amplified old church chimes. Either way, I've very happy about it. Oh yeah, I had then decided to make a digital recording of the music as It played onto a portable digital recorder, so I can transfer it to my Ipod and play it. Cd's are good, but they easily get scratched and ruined. So now I have a digital copy of Lew Charles Chimes at Dusk

Churchbells on Radio
I was listening to Family Radio and at about 11:00 pm, I started to hear this harmonious sound of churchbell music that really woke me up. Was I dreaming, had I died and gone to heaven, it was that beautiful. I just had to know more info about it. So I had decided to call up Family Radio and ask about it. Normally I would get nervous as whenever I had asked a church about their bells, they would angrily turn me down and or tell me "Your not supposed to ask that!" Anyway, I was lucky, as I was transferred to the programming department for assistance. The lady was very nice, and managed to play back some of the churchbell music I heard. Well, I then asked her if she knew the name of the song and record that was from, figuring that I can get it on CD. She then tells me that it's from an out of print record made in the 1950's called "Word" and the title of the record is "Chimes At Dusk" By Lew Charles.
I had thanked her and went on a massive search on the internet for the record. So far, I found 1 copy of the lp record version sold on Amazon. Most other record websites that sold the out of print and hard to find records had the record itself for $5.99 or something. But It's alot of work as I wanted to get it onto CD. So I found one company called Vinyl Therapy that sold out of print records and I had e-mailed them to see if they had it. I got a reply from a guy named Mr. Larry Woodlee who told me that he had the record and can make a copy of it onto CD for a small fee of about $12 and I wanted 2 copies. It had costed me $25 to get 2 copies of the cd of the record sent to me, but I haven't gotten it yet. But I'm very excited about it. Just from what I remember hearing on the radio, would really make me happy in hearing all the other bell songs as well. Amazing what you can do with a little info and searching for what you want. You never know what you can find. You can contact Mr. Larry for further info on this record at vinylrehab@mindspring.com.
