This is why I love<\/span> superstar singer\/songwriter Andy Osenga<\/a>‘s blog:<\/p>\n

[from the Sept. 8 entry<\/a>:]<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s a good story\u2026 Months and months ago I had a song-writing session with a guy. I really liked the guy, we had a good time, but I didn\u2019t feel we really got anything. Well, he took the thing that wasn\u2019t really all together and finished it with another guy. That song went on that other guy\u2019s record.<\/p>\n

\n

That other guy is Chris Tomlin and apparently the album is #4 on iTunes this week. I still haven\u2019t heard the song.<\/p>\n

Have you? Do you like it?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Good stuff, Andy O.<\/p>\n

The song, by the way, is called “With Me.” I haven’t heard it either. But I’m pretty sure I will, someday, over and over again on K-LOVE.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>If you’re not a fan of Andy’s work, you need to be. He’s the lead guitarist for Caedmon’s Call, but he’s also a ridiculously good performer and songwriter on his own. Yesterday he released his free new EP, Letters to the Editor, Vol. 2,<\/a> a collaborative songwriting experiment with his fans and online community. I haven’t listened to it yet, but Vol. 1 was really cool. So go to Andy’s website, download it, and be amazed by his skillz.<\/p>\n

Because if it’s good enough for Tomlin…<\/p>\n

(For your edification, here’s Part 1<\/a> and Part 2<\/a> of an interview I did last summer with Andy about Letters, Vol 1<\/span>.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
