"Kathy Overfield is a gift to church music. I know that when she plays my piano arrangements she plays them from her devotion to God with heartfelt inspiration and a sense of exquisite musical artistry. Whether it's a classic hymn setting or a jazzy gospel song, Kathy knows how to connect the listener with the Holy Spirit so they experience a true sense of worship and praise. I'm honored that she has chosen to share these piano arrangements of mine with you in such a beautiful way."

--Mark Hayes

Mark's arrangements are special. Over the years, I have seen how they touch people's lives. I have felt their power, as they gave me strength and comfort as I played "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" for my brother's funeral and "Amazing Grace" for my piano student's funeral. I have seen them give peace to a friend that lost a grandbaby. I have seen the beauty that they bring to that special day of many brides and grooms. I have seen the excitement that is sparked in my students as they learn one of his songs for the first time. I have seen them comfort a nation, as his arrangement "Grace" was sung at the National Prayer Service in Washington, DC the week of 9/11. It has truly been an honor to record his songs.

Mark has been my teacher, mentor, my motivation, but most of all, my friend. His music touches my heart, and it is my prayer that it will touch yours.
