A walk down memory lane

Growing up, I was the youngest of the family. I had older siblings to lead the way. One of the things that I enjoyed as a result was music from a slightly older generation. So I was listening to really cool things at a really young age. One of the classic, older stuff is the music of Keith Green. He was one of the musicians that paved the way for what we now know as Contemporary Christian music. There was Southern Gospel, old time hymns and Keith Green. I spent many years going to sleep listening to his cassette tapes. Unfortunately, Keith died early and tragically in an airplane crash in about 1981 (not real sure of the year, but that is close)But his music has lived on. I found this video of him performing live on youtube. This was one of my VERY favorite songs he sang, I still know it word for word and it is still my prayer.

PS I thought of you Tim when I watched it. You are one of the few people I know who not only knows of him but loves his music too!!

Great video. Keith was a brilliant musician and his ministry was an example that a lot of "christian" artists today.

Hi Kathy! Great piece! I'm glad that You Tube has a redeeming side! I love Keith! (BTW - 1982 for the plane crash!)
