Concerning Songs

There has been a lot of conversation about music since Sunday. Perhaps is was the blues version of "They'll Know We Are Christians" or the new David Crowder song "Wholly Yours" that stirred us. I though an opportunity for us to reflect on our musical tastes would be fun. So click 'comments' and weigh in. You can paste the questions into your comments if you would like. I'll go first...
