Contemporary Christian Music, light rock, folk. Acoustic with vocal harmonies like Phillips Craig and Dean. Imagine if John Denver, Keith Green, Rich Mullins, N
Joe, Steve, and Chris Solaas are three brothers, all Eagle Scouts, with a desire to give a message of Good News to the world, and the talents to do so. is a high tenor with a voice like Neil Young. Rhythm and Lead guitar, bass, drums. is a baritone something like Bing Crosby meets Burl Ives. Rhythm Guitar. is a tenor like John Denver meets Chris Rice. Chris is the principle songwriter for the band. Rhythm guitar, lead guitar, vocals, keyboards. Add to this mix Al English Jr., Sheila Zachary, and Mark Lucchessi is the bassist for the group. He also writes some material, and plays acoustic guitar and lead. He's a high tenor also, but has a huge range. Think 'Keith Green meets Phil Keagge'. is the female vocalist for the group. She has a voice like Nicole C Mullen with an attitude. is our drummer. He's been drumming all his life, and it shows. He's incredible. is our soundman and occasionally, keyboards.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song for my wife, for our Anniversary, or rather, the anniversary of our engagement. (We've been married 20 years now, but we celebrate our engagement too, it was an interesting story...) Anyway, it is apalling how lightly people these days take these Vows we make before God and everybody. A Vow is a promise to God, and is not to be taken without careful consideration. I meant every word of them when I said them. But I understand, as we all should, that married life is not always easy, but it's Commitment and Choices (sometimes on a minutely basis) that KEEP you married. I know that sometimes we don't even GET a choice - we are sued for divorce, or our partner leaves, or is unrepentantly unfaithful or dangerous. I am not 'down' on divorcee's... I think most people who have gone through one would say it was like cutting off an arm. (Though some might say it was more like cutting off a mole). But this song is intended as encouragement for us to stick it out, to realize it WAS a vow, that God is watching, and He hates divorce.
