One was at 3:00pm and the other at 8:00pm. When he sang it at the first show, people would walk up to the stage with their cell phones opened. He had not asked for them to do this. It reminded me of a Billy Graham revival response . Very quietly and reverently they filled the aisles to get closer and they all had their cell phones held up toward the singer. The exact same thing happened at the evening performance and I remarked it was like the Pied Piper. "I'll Walk" really touches people and ,as you say Bobby, many don't know why. I think it is the pure tone of his voice and his stage presence when he sings it. You can tell he really feels it.

(See "The Little Girl" as a good example.) But I'm really digging this one. I don't know why. I usually hate songs like this: three-verse made-for-TV movies, I call them.

(to? -critics never end a sentence in a preposition). How bout Stormy goes back to reading every one of the posts on this well thought out and discussed forum (and such) until Stormy is ready to be a mainstream critic. Sorry about your grandmother.

Hello? Do y'all remember how SB got their start? Yep, it was on AI's predecessor, "Star Search" - and they didn't even bill themselves as a country band. It took a LONG time for them to get to the level of doing a song like "The Walk". So let's give Bucky a little time and see what he can do before you tear him down so nastily.
