We were in a little Seattle cloud that probably held 200 people. I fell hard. 😄 I don’t usually notice but he has the prettiest hands I’ve ever seen on a man.

He is so real, no pretense whatsoever. The choir was way cool to do this.

Who else could have written a beautiful song about dead lovers decaying in a field together and make it sound lovely? He definitely has a gift and a sweet personality - a gentle soul.

Talk about POWERFUL... indeed.
