Jordan Smith, Johnny Cash, And Your Unique Voice / Happenings In The Outhouse 24-Dec-2021

It might be ironic that this post is going out on Christmas Eve, with its place in the history of mankind and our Heavenly Father.  Roughly two weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending a concert by Jordan Smith with the current love of my life and her parents.

Don't know who Jordan Smith is?  Don't worry, I didn't either.

To put it simply, he was the season 9 winner of the TV show The Voice.  Give this a listen, and be both amazed and inspired.  Note: the YouTube video I originally posted (twice now) has been taken down for whatever reason, so I urge you to just search for him and listen.

Jordan is one of great talent.  That much is perfectly clear.  He sang songs at the concert that we all knew, but he put his own vocal twist to it in such a dynamic and unique way.  Jordan will be one to watch as his career blossoms.

Reflecting on this, I am reminded of a scene early on in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line.  Cash sang a tune that was just like all the other songs.  But the record producer wanted something different.


Believe in yourself.

Find your voice.

No matter what it is, believe in yourself.
