The Eschatological Texarkanan

Texarkana native David Wallace Crowder is a Christian musician and the co-author of a book called Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven, but Nobody Wants to Die (The Eschatology of Bluegrass). I have not read the book, but the title is sensational. In my own writing, I love to have my characters address issues such as "ontology" (the philosophical study of the nature of being) and "eschatology" (the theological study of the final events of the world or humankind) in the vernacular, so this title is right up my alley. 

Here is "All My Hope" by Crowder. I'm including this song in honor of my good ol' Uncle Les because he is who introduced me to this musician and writer.
