  • The Keyboard player is my uncle.. Well not really my uncle but growing up we my siblings and I called him uncle. His name is Gene Lorenzo. He and my dad were really good friends. His cousin, Bill Capizzi was best man at my parents wedding. Bill was in the movie "Heart and Souls". He played the ticket guy at the race track. Great movie. Got to meet Kathy Mattea because of my uncle.She is an awesome woman!

  • @Jewel7685 How interesting! Thanks so much for identifying the keyboard player, and for providing a little backstory to go with it!

  • Great song from a great artist!! I love the original by Don Williams, but this is so good! Also, that's the GREAT John Hiatt on the stool playing guitar!!

  • @bwmayhew Thanks so much ~ I never realized that was John Hiatt! I've heard his music, but hadn't seen him. I don't suppose you happen to know who is playing piano in this video....would love to identify both musicians with Kathy in this. Again, thanks a million for pointing out this fact! I never tire of hearing this song.

  • i miss the days of kathy mattea, suzy bogguss, etc... being on top of the charts

  • Kathy and Suzy may no longer be topping the charts, but they're definitely at the top of their game. If you get a chance to see them in concert, I'd say don't miss it. Kathy's latest CD "Coal" has garnered tons of critical acclaim and was nominated for a Grammy. In concert, she is amazing!

  • Always loved Kathy. I wanna cry when I see the homeless looking guy. I have locked eyes with people like that often and been told later by too many people how I need to stay safe because I can't just walk away.

    I don't believe Jesus intended us to stay in our corner and stay safe.

    To me this song isn't just about telling the ones we love how we feel but telling the ones that need our love, so they can go on living.
