The Manhattan Project
Zoomer Roberts: vocal
George Gage: guitar & vocal
Ophelia Botham: mandolin & vocal
The Manhattan Project was formed by members and friends of Manhattan Presbyterian Church -- hence the name. We were active for awhile in the mid 1990's, gamely trying our hand(s) at Bluegrass Gospel and the old-fashioned stylings of the Chuck Wagon Gang. We eventually disbanded and were promptly forgotten by everybody, including ourselves.
However, a couple of tapes of the group recently surfaced: a 1997 performance at the Santa Teresa (New Mexico) Baptist Church, and an undated home recording. The former is marred by the incessant knob jiggling of an inept sound man, but parts of it are salvageable. The latter is surprisingly well balanced. The music itself is pretty good. More tracks will be added to this post after they undergo the sonic cleanup process. I hope these songs will be as much of a blessing to you today as they were to our congregation over a decade and a half ago.
Listen to "I'd Rather Have Jesus"
Listen to "Daniel Prayed"
Listen to "Jordan"
Listen to "Wicked Path of Sin
