Never heard of him. Of course my taste in music is eclectic and I do like a good acoustic session. I remember hearing a song at church that blew me away, and I later heard Sandy Patti and Larnell Harris sing it - Special Delivery. Then there was the one Kenny Rogers did - Mary Did You Know. That one blew me away too.
