My name is Melodie Sproul and I made this page to honor my dad's memory. Dad passed away from cancer on August 16th, 1973, at the age of 38. The music I have put here was from a tape of his last jam session. He passed away about a month after this tape was made. The sound quality isn't great because I had to line record from a tape player onto my comptuer but that's okay. The purpose of this site is to honor my dad's memory, and nothing more. I'll download more photos as I can find them.My dad was born Leonard Murry Sproul Jr. on March 8, 1935, in Salt Lake City, Utah. His father was Leonard Murry Sproul Sr. and his mother was Velva Chidister. He had two sisters. His older sister, Jerree Ann, is the one you hear on the duet. His younger sister, Carol, passed away at the age of 35. Dad had a total of six children, four from his first marriage and two from his second marriage (my mom).Dad played quite a few instruments, including guitar, piano and violin. He was a prolific songwriter and composer, even having been offered a record contract, which he refused because he didn't want to be out on the road and away from his family. He did, however, make a record when he was 17. I wish I had a copy of it. Dad wrote songs for all of his kids. I can still sort of remember the one he wrote for me. It would have been nice to have recordings of some of his gigs that he did while he was healthy, but I guess I should be happy for what I have because it is priceless.I may need to remove a couple of songs from his profile because in all honesty I'm not sure that he wrote them, and I don't want to infringe on any copyright laws. I'll need to ask my Aunt Jerree if he wrote them or not, since she's the only surviving person who was close to him that I know. According to what my mom said some years ago, he did write the one about prayer. My aim is to honor my dad's memory here, and I certainly don't want to give him credit for something that he didn't write. He wouldn't want that.
