IT’S NOT OFTEN that I sit around and browse YouTube.  It’s usually like shopping for me: know what you want when you set out.  When it does happen that I peruse for a long time, it’s mostly looking at music, and that mostly from Nashville musicians who connect me to my roots.

While looking for a quality Rich Mullins clip, I came across a number of interesting, seemingly random, concert recordings.  One from Wheaton in the 90s, was amazing but unable to be embedded.  The one below, is an amazing clip.  One of my favorite Mullins songs is “Elijah,” which he wrote over a decade before I heard it rerecorded for the Songs collection.  The beard is unexpected.  And while the lyrics are the same, his voice hadn’t seemed to settle into the tone that would carry through the rest of his collection.  Amazing.
