"Our version of Amazing Grace was inspired by a good friend of ours who attended the candlelight vigil of the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots that died fighting the Yarnell Hill Wildfire on June 30, 2013. His exact words were "If you can listen to Amazing Grace being played on the bagpipes and not shed a tear, you have no soul". It spoke volumes to me about what a powerful song this is, considering that our friend is not a religious man. Our prayers go out to the families of all 20 members of hotshot crew. Thank you to Casey Kendel that played the bagpipes for us at the end of the video." ~Kevin Mendenhall |
