You think it’s never going to happen to you. People share their pregnancy stories and you think, “That won’t happen to me.” And then it does. Last Monday was a day like any other day. I got up at 5:30 am, worked all day, and got home at 5 for chores. We got home late [...]
I’m a little bit crazy…
August 9th, 2011Amy’s Heartsong…
August 2nd, 2011In case you didn’t know, Allan Hall loves music. I would estimate that he has thousands of CDs and who knows how many actual records from way back when. If you mention a song or a singer, he’s heard of them. Well, he is a huge Whitney Houston fan and one day in sound check [...]
What books are you reading?

He Holds Us!
July 25th, 2011I wrote He’ll Hold You so long ago I don’t even remember what year it was. I had a friend going through a very painful divorce and I wanted to be able to write him something encouraging, to remind him that he wasn’t alone. It turns out; my family needed that song more than he [...]

We’re Gonna Get There One Day!
July 11th, 2011You would probably best recognize Christa Wells’ writing from “Held”, which Natalie Grant recorded. It was a song that Christa wrote about a close friend who had lost a child. When my wife Angie and I found out we were going to lose our 4th daughter Audrey to kidney failure, we asked Christa to write [...]

July 5th, 2011Todd and I heard this song being performed by Emmylou Harris, Patti Griffin, Buddy Miller, and Shawn Colvin on TV one night, while traveling, and it impressed both of us so strongly that we knew we wanted to record it for this new album. The songwriters are Buddy and Julie Miller, and if you aren’t [...]
“Be Still” or Presidential Debate?
June 29th, 2011When Luke Sheets started playing the melody for “Be Still” on guitar I instantly loved the song. By the end of the day my brother Jack, Luke, and I had a good portion of it laid out. Jack flew back home to Detroit and came back a couple months later to finish the song. Four [...]
