Magic Umbrella

from Al Thomas · host Al Thomas

My writing and arranging style has been influenced by band like The Beatles, U2, The Doors, Simon and Garfunkel, Jars of Clay, and Song writers like Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, and Larry Norman one of the first Christian Rock Artist. Hay everyone I want to share with you one of my favorite stories of being inspired to write a song. When my oldest daughter Rashel was 6 years old we were living in a tiny apartment at bethel College , you know one of those married couple apartments that has a long hall and the kitchen is just inside the door entrance, and if you turn any direction you’re in the next room. Well I came home and step into this apartment one evening and there on the fridge was a simple drawing of a purple umbrella and a stick figure of my little girl with the biggest smile and underneath was written in Crayola crane “ If I had a magic umbrella I would give it to you and you’d be happy too. You know Like heaven ." Here is the song that was inspired by that drawing. “Magic Umbrella” I hope you enjoy it from my heart to yours.
