Glen Schmidt Family

Tuesday night the Glen Schmidt Family performed at a local nursing home, and I had the pleasure of joining the folks there to watch and listen. This family plays gospel music with what I consider to be sort of a bluegrass twist, and they’re a definite must-see any time you’ve got the opportunity. I’m not just saying that because they’re my friends!

There are a couple of particular songs they perform that are stirring to the soul, but my favorite has to be “I’ll Fly Away.” When they wrap up the show with this hymn, I’m powerless to fight the waterworks as it always moves me to tears. Sometimes I last until the point where they invite everyone to join in, but the thought of everyone in heaven singing like that someday is overpowering. Tuesday night I actually made it all the way to the truck, but that’s as far as I got. Their music is simply lovely.

They’ve got a CD for sale too – you can listen to the songs and place an order on their website at www.glenschmidtfamily.com. They play at Buckstop Junction during the summer, as well as a variety of other events in Bismarck-Mandan and surrounding communities. I invite you to listen and buy a CD – you’ll be moved by the music and will be supporting a really special ministry.
