Note: I really appreciated Don Francisco c. 1980, I was in Colorado at the time. It was either him or the fellow from Tennessee who really emphasized .. "no clapping, please." Michael Card, who also did fine music at the time, was very earnest in faith, fellowship and life, and who later collaborated on an album with John Michael Talbot. Our fellership was in the Grand Junction region, the main land was in Hotchkiss, and I believe Don Francisco was from around Hotchkiss.
He's Alive was a favorite when the earlier iteration of Homestead Heritage was in NYC. Sister Patty really poured her heart out into the worship song, playing piano. Thank you, dear sister. It was also the days of "No hiding place!
A song which helped bring me ton repentance and to the living faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

And he has a really sad article:
"Does God Hate Divorce?"
Which is likely explained by his own "divorce" and "remarriage."
So, I am not sure if he is the best singer-speaker on holiness.
His voice remains sweet.
Homestead Heritage at that time was also "no clapping" (worship often ok), that has changed, and there is a performance sense in their concerts at the fair. A much bigger problem was when they took out Jehovah from the Days of Elijah, and inserted the dark-side name.
