1. Bill Monroe 2. Melody was in my head, but I wanted to treat in as an uptempo, driving piece rather than a dirge. So I composed a treatment of the song that's danceable (hot sax lead, drums, etc. 3. Recorded in 2007 4. Killer melody 5. Peter Rowan. but then I changed the words and made a completely new last verse so the secular crowd could enjoy the tune, too. Actually the revision makes the message less specifically Christian, hopefully more universal.
