In this podcast, I&#8217;ll explain how this came about and describe how structurally, it&#8217;s a bit different than my usual verse, chorus, verse, repeat chorus, etc&#8230;songs. After that, you&#8217;ll hear the final version of the song from my CD.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I hiked to Half Dome in Yosemite awhile back and recorded much of that walk. Thematically, it fits with the walking motif, so I&#8217;ll take you on an audio tour of Half Dome. (The hike took 12 hours; this podcast won&#8217;t  take nearly that long.)<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/bigrock.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Here are some links to go with the show.
