“The Hymnal Story” beautifully captures a nostalgic slice of family life with warmth and humor. The storytelling feels genuine and relatable—like a cherished memory shared around a campfire. The way it highlights the power of timing and humor, especially from an innocent kid’s perspective, adds a charming and heartfelt layer. The acoustic folk style perfectly complements the narrative, making it feel intimate and timeless. It’s a simple yet powerful reminder of how small moments can leave lasting impressions.

"The Hymnal Story" - A true tale from a 1957 family road trip through Illinois. When an 11-year-old boy makes a perfectly timed joke about stealing a church hymnal, he learns a life lesson about humor, timing, and making people laugh.
This narrative folk song captures that moment when a kid realizes the power of saying the right thing at the right time - even if it nearly gives his parents a heart attack first.
Genre: Folk/Americana storytelling
Style: Acoustic narrative ballad

The Hymnal Story

"Colorado Camping Song" - A humorous country storytelling song about a father's camping adventure with his two sons in the Colorado wilderness. Complete with bear piñatas, John Wayne references, questionable organizational skills, and a perfect punchline involving unsuspecting hikers.
Based on a true story of family adventure, poor planning, and making memories in the mountains. Because sometimes the best camping expertise is just knowing how to have fun.
