My friend Eric and I on Saturday once again ventured to the newly constructed halls of Bethel University's Underground to catch up with one of our favorite folk performers, Storyhill.
Chris & Johnny put on a great performance. Even though the sound guys probably had a tough go at it early due to the room dynamics, they recovered nicely and the harmony and ranges of the voices and accoustic guitars were awesome.
The set list included some of my favorites: Mary on the Mountain, If I Could, Boulder River, Steady On.
I don't know why but music, both Christian and secular, stirs me. It really does speak to me. It's a language like no other that can cause me to laugh histarically at one moment and sob like a baby in the next.
Certain chords and rythms remind me of specific details- memories of high school, college, my first kiss, holding my son for the first time, kissing my daughter 'good night', and (in Storyhill's case) fishing for trout in Wyoming and special trips with my dad in our numerous hunting adventures awestruck from God's great artistry of nature.
If you haven't heard of them, here is a little taste of Storyhill's music...enjoy.
Grace & Peace

Saw these guys about 15 years ago when they were called "Chris and Johnny", at Mankato State.
