The Ed Thomas Story

Last week I was watching TV, and little did I know, was about to watch something that would alter my perspective on life.

Its the story of Ed Thomas. A man who was much more than just the high school football coach, he was a pillar of strength in the small town of Parkersburg, Iowa. He lived a life of service and leadership and was an inspiration to generations of families.

But this is not just your typical sports story. It is a story of compassion. Community. Faith. Forgiveness. Legacy. Courage. And all of it exemplified on an unbelievable scale. This is what loving your neighborhood is truly all about.

Please watch this video. Its a story that needs to be heard.

“Dear Companion is a collaboration between three Kentucky musicians: the songs are written and performed by Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore, produced by and featuring Yim Yames (My Morning Jacket). Recorded in the first half of 2009 in their home state, Dear Companion explores their ties to the place they love and aims to draw attention to the problem of mountaintop removal coal mining and its impact on the people and heritage of central Appalachia. A portion of the proceeds from Dear Companion will benefit Appalachian Voices, an organization devoted to ending mountaintop removal and finding a better way forward.”

Love In Stereo got the chance to catch up with Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore on their stop in Nashville, TN at Grimey’s. It was an honor to chat with these two guys and, being from the south, it was inspiring to both see and hear their love for home spill out in conversation and in song.

Song: My Wealth Comes To Me

Song: Something, Somewhere, Sometime

Last week we launched our online store. People were given the opportunity to buy one of two different shirts. Every single dime from these sales goes to feed kids in Port-au-Prince, Haiti through the Son Light Children’s Home and Nutrition Center. Of course we hoped that it would go well, but we had no idea just how well!

Here we say thanks to each and every person by name who has purchased a shirt from our store:

Haven’t bought your shirt yet? Pick one up here.
