Yes! I love being a sideman and singing harmonies for most of Caroline Cobb's shows. There's something special about the female lead / male harmony sound, for sure. Also such a meaningful experience to back up an artist for years and get acquainted with the nuances of their rhythmic and dynamic subtleties.
Appreciate you Andrew. I will say your best song is Paper Boats: few times has a songwriter actually written a fairy tale in the oldest sense, but that one is. Grateful for it.
That line from Sandra McCracken in “Fools Gold” has gotten me through some real tough times. As a woman who sings lead and plays guitar in our church band I am constantly messing with the keys of all the songs written by men..even the congregation struggles sometimes! That’s why I sing a lot of Sandra’s songs, I just love her writing and my voice matches her range well. We do have several strong male voices and you are right, the harmonies are great! Sometimes we even switch parts in the middle of a song. I have to add we have done some Normals songs too…you guys sang at our church many moons ago!
I joke at church that most of the songs and pretty much all of the hymns were written in the “patriar-KEY” (ba dum dum).. haha it’s kinda true tho. Take note worship leaders: pick a key the congregation can sing comfortably in!

Also, love that song of yours, Andrew.

I love Taylor Leonhardt, and I love your writing! Thanks for showing up here, and I continue to pray for your family.
