I like the style and sound of that group. Reminds me a little of the Squirrel Nut Zippers and Happy Feet.

I don't know where a specific video/youtube might be. Last Sunday in church, for some reason, I paid particular attention to, and was moved by, the 2nd verse of, "How Great Thou Art". To me, that 2nd verse is what it is all about. YMMV?

Help me out, if you please, WildBill.

Thanks. The second verse deals with nature and the outdoors.

I have a few, but the one that really speaks loud is, "Phillips, Craig & Dean - When God Ran ". In fact I need to listen to it now.

I play bass in my church's praise band so songs speak to me at different times. I am also a big fan of Texas singer/songwriters so right now I have two that presently speak to me. The first is Jason Isbell "Speed Trap Town"


And then Pat Green singing While I was Away I have to listen to in private cause no one wants to see me crying.


I'll post some more as I get time I really enjoy all kinds of music so my "favorites" change on a regular basis
Take away the Second first, and the First is gone in a second :rules: :patriot:
