Rich Mullins & Mitch McVicker - Brother's Keeper, live acoustic on The E...
Rich Mullins died on Lukes birthday in 1997. I usually find myself playing lots of his songs this time of year. Here is a really neat recording of one he and Mitch McVicker of The Raggamuffin Band recorded live. I have been practicing it but cant get it anywhere near as good as them. I thought Pop, Luke and Justin might enjoy it.

I have had one of CDs for years and have read his story in the past. I knew about how he died, but I guess I never realized that it was on Luke's birthday. I'll listen to this later, since I can't get to YouTube at work. :)
On September 19, 1997, Mullins and his friend Mitch McVicker were traveling on I-39 north of Bloomington, Illinois, to a benefit concert at Tabor College in Hillsboro, Kansas, when his Jeep rolled over. They were not wearing seat belts and were both ejected from the vehicle. When a passing semi-trailer truck swerved to miss the overturned Jeep, Mullins, who was too injured to move out of the path of the oncoming truck, was hit and died instantly at the age of 41. McVicker was seriously injured but survived.
I remember Pop playing this song when we were very young. I had no idea it was Rich Mullins until just now.
