A brief history
 |
The poem "Met in the Stairwell" written by Stacey
Randall following September 11, 2001. Written from the perspective
of God, where God was, and what God was doing during the tragic
moments of September 11, 2001.

The original poem was placed on the family web site, then circulated
throughout the world via emails. The poem is on thousands of other
web sites (current estimate is 8000+ websites).

On November 30, 2001, Bob
Holiday, Production Manager for KFSH
Los Angeles, read the poem over Mannheim Steamroller's Silent
Night. Bob's version found its way to hundreds of radio stations
throughout the world and is currently available as an MP3 download
on many web sites.

After securing a publishing deal, Stacey was encouraged to find
a composer to write more appropriate music. She turned
down requests from many well known and established artists.
In June 2002, Stacey chose Justin
Copeland to compose the original music, who in turn contacted
Steve Sneed
to produce the song. Of course, Bob's voice was kept. He has become
known as the "voice" of God.
