RE: OTR influence

["Keith Bergendorff" <kbergend@hotmail.com>]

As Chris mentioned, a number of us have posted the story of how we came to 
find OtR in his forum thread at 
http://www.drewvogel.com/invboard/index.php?showtopic=249 .

Unlike most folks on the list, I am not a Christian (although I was raised 
almost as devoutly as Linford).  It is not the specifically Christian 
aspects of their songs that I personally find most meaningful, although I 
think Christian symbolism retains much of its power for anyone raised in the 
faith.  It is rather the sense of wonder and reverence for nature in all its 
aspects, something that is also very striking in Linford's writing.  K&L are 
both magnificently attuned to the positive and creative forces in the 
universe, call them what you will.  They understand the importance of beauty 
and grace and caring in giving meaning to this wonderful mystery called 
life.  And of course they are both amazing musicians and songwriters.

And then there's *that voice*.  "Help me, spread my table..."  Oops, I meant 
that *other* voice. :)
