We’ve got another new short clip of a presumably upcoming song by Ben & Rose – called “Twilight is Stealing”. “Steal” here (I believe) in the sense of the less-commonly-used definition of “to move somewhere quietly or surreptitiously”. This song is an older hymn – maybe the oldest they’ve done so far – written by Aldine Kieffer and B.C. Unseld in the late 1800s. Here’s…
Ben & Rose previously teamed with Amos Raber on (perhaps my personal favorite of their releases) “Would You Like To Buy Some Flowers“. Now they’ve teamed up again along with Amos’ wife Margaret on a new tune called “Fill My Cup, Lord”. It’s a really nice tune with Christian lyrics, and this rendition has a jaunty country feel. Rose and Amos trade off singing lead…
We’ve got the second studio song from Third Fret Harmony, which consists of Rose’s brother and sister, Mike and Marty. We first saw and heard them here last month performing the classic country song “Sing Me Back Home”. In this tune they are back “singing about singing” again – but this time more in the gospel music vein. “Sing Me A Song About Jesus” is…
We heard a 23-second demo version of this song back in June. I thought we’d see the full version released soon after that…but they made us wait 😀 Now Ben and Rose have released the full studio version of “Dream of Me”. Sounds like it was worth the wait. The demo clip showcased a great chorus, and that carries over into the full version of…
UPDATE: We first heard this short clip of “Roses in the Snow” (see below) back in July. Ben & Rose have now released the full song – as the first track on their debut album. You’ll find that at the end of this post. Ben and Rose are just out with a teaser of a new song they’re working on called “Roses in the Snow”….
After a number of videos lately of Amish singing popular songs, how about something more traditional. This video was filmed at a New Order Amish youth singing in 2023 by P. Thomas (he’s also brought us previous New Order Amish singing as well as Amish schoolchildren singing). In this video, the youth sing “When All of God’s Singers Get Home.” Phil has provided a number…
Third Fret Harmony is another Amish music group that (at least) Rose of Ben & Rose has been a part of (and I think still is – though I am not sure). Like Ben & Rose, they are also working with producer Conrad Fisher, and I think you’ll recognize some of that flavor in this song. In this video, which I believe is their first…
After posting about the latest Horse Progress Days, held last week in Clare, Michigan, I was fortunate enough to receive not one, but two sets of photos from attendees of this year’s edition – from Jim Halverson, who many of you will recognize from frequent excellent photos here, and from Milo G. Miller, Publisher of the Budget newspaper. Some of you might be readers of…
Horse Progress Days, the Amish horsepower showcase now into its fourth decade, will kick off tomorrow (July 4th) and run through Saturday. This is a moveable event, but as in previous years, this year’s edition is happening in Clare County, Michigan, home to a sizeable Amish population. It will be held at the Alvin Yoder, Jr. farm, according to a report in Wilcox Newspapers. More:…
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania Amish couple Ben and Rose have just put out a clip of a new song they are working on: “The Robin and The Eggs”. The clip is titled simply “The Robin And The Eggs – Ben & Rose Working On Some New Music”. As in the last teaser clip (“Dream of Me“), they are accompanied by producer Conrad Fisher on guitar and…
