The summer is almost over for me.  I don’t make it through a summer without thinking about the music of 1997: the self-titled studio release from Caedmon’s Call, the greatest hits album of Steven Curtis Chapman (which included “Not Home Yet” and “I Am Found in You”), and Chris Rice’s Deep Enough to Dream (both album and song).  (It was also the summer that I picked up Rich Mullins’ Songs complication).  Here’s a live recording of Rice singing “Deep Enough to Dream” and its “lazy summer afternoon.”  A classic and a favorite.

Doesn’t seem to be a lot of Rice out there online, which is unfortunate.  His music makes for great long-distance driving music.  You can check out his personal website (with his poetry and artwork) here.
