in the early 70's,while driving back from alpine texas,i heard stuart hamblin explain the true meaning of "This Ole House" on a Del Rio radio station. it's really quite simple when you read the lyrics and think of what he wrote. This ole house refers to your human body after you pass on, "you ain't gonna need it any longer.", thanks to his christian conversion, most of his songs and music had double meanings.you just need to listen to them in a different light. good old gospel music always did have some deep meaning messages. i think America could use a lot more songs from writers like stuart hamblin.
