On September 3, 2014, the day my daughter, Linnea Torriente, was leaving for Mexico to serve as a missionary, I had a little one on one time with her. I wanted to record her voice with my little portable recording studio before she left. Although she was extremely busy getting ready to leave, she spent a little time with me because she knew how much it would mean to me.

I played the acoustic guitar and she did a few takes on the lead vocals and had time for only one take on the vocal harmony track. After she left for her mission, I added the electric guitar solo; Danny Torriente- banjo and bass, Chris Vanlangeveld- Strings, Hammond Organ, Richie Hayes- Grand Piano.

Linnea dedicated this song to her "Granny" (my mother, Mary Frances Bryson Torriente) whom she never met. Mama was from Oklahoma. She loved Jesus and taught me Bible stories on her lap when I was a young child. We attended many fiery tent revivals in the South and I enjoyed them very much.

Mama passed away in 1976. "Amazing Grace" was her favorite song. I have felt very close to her while putting this song together. I hope you like it! God bless!
