Tossing and turning in grace. Delight in great songs, islands with no hotels or airports, house concerts. May do a PhD dissertation on Andy Gullahorn songs. Do some software stuff to pay for the travel and house concerts.
Why does "head over heels" mean out of control - when we live our lives with our heads over our heels?

Turns out that the phrase used to be "heels over head." That makes sense.

I want to have a word with whoever inverted this phrase.

Worthwhile, engrossing, somewhat unpredictable and surprising film about grief, redemption, marriage, connection, secrets, regret, and hope. Leans into Christian motifs at times, pulls back at other times. Recommended.

Wut? TIL that John C. Reilly (movies like Step Brothers and Talladega Nights) is lead vocal for "Mister Romantic" -- backed by Grammy-winning musicians -- sharing "sweet melodies from the Great American Songbook and beyond." Warm and expressive voice.

Beautiful vocals from Andy and his wife Jill Phillips, as well as a tasty steel guitar.

30 Days of Andy Gullahorn, Day 5. I first heard this song about 20 years ago at a Cincinnati event. Pay close attention to the start of this video from 2010. It is Andrew Peterson introducing Andy as "one of my very favorite songwriters ever."

Andy Gullahorn excels at songs that make you laugh, and while you're laughing you begin to think about something important that he's woven into the song.

This is not one of those songs. I love it all the same. "Anger's Gonna Take You Places." #songwriting

Another one of those Andy Gullahorn songs - you think it is just a silly song, kind of funny, and then he hits you with the last verse.

If you know Andrew Peterson's "Behold the Lamb of God", you've seen Andy.

Full album releases early June.
