I just got back from pre-camp at Camp Gailor-Maxon at DuBose Conference Center in Monteagle, TN. Your song "Amazed, Astonished, Astounded" is still ringing in my head (in a very good way!). I loved, loved, loved seeing young Jackson Seltzer up on stage with the music team leading the singing. What an amazing song filled with the Holy Spirit!!!! Thank you!!!!!

Hey Sam. If you are the Sam Hensley that wrote and sang my baby girls song, then thank you so much. It is the most beautiful song out there! You are truly an angel for the things you do! Thank you again.

Sam, The good Lord places on this earth many people for many hands to do much work. But only a few are given the spiritual gift to make the work easier by their presence. Missed you guys at Winterlight but am never far from you by our shared blessings. May God continue to bless you and your family in your new home.

Sam is amazing. he played for uus at camp Lebanon at the 2008 spring youth event and he made it one to remember. All of my friends who are seniors and are leaving couldnt have asked for a better musician to play for their last time. He brought tears to my eyes more than once. God Bless You Sam

Sam,

Last I logged in the guestbook (10/13/05) was after "Broken". You've done it again with "Let Her Go;" I teared up by the fourth bar. Your music has always been a touchstone for me--since way back in the Brown Summit days of "Sunflower Land."

My best always, and thanks for the heartfelt tunes!
(and congrats on the Car Talk airtime, that's no small deal! :)

Hi Sam,

I listened to your music. I like it. Your mother came by to buy a butter dish and said you're moving back to the area, and are interested in Irish music. Let me know where you end up settling. Wil McCanless and I are still playing in Southern Pines, and ocassional gigs elsewhere.

November 26, 2006

Hi Sam,

I'm glad you have posted a pic of me and Todd together. Would you mind helping Todd, with getting his passport in order so he can come here? The clemency people told me and us, that Todd doesnt need no clemency in order to get a passport. Would you mind helping him out and I will gladly pay you what ever you need - as long as you help me getting him here?
Got a ticket back to Dulles on jan 10th. I hope he is still mine as I arrive -- since we are supposed to get married by then. Hugs in bundles, be safe - and remind Todd of how much I love him.

Hi,

I'm going to bring Beg the Sky to a Christian organization here at Johnson & Wales University in Charlotte, NC. A guy in that group that I met last week sang me a song that he wrote and, he also played his guitar. His music reminded me so much of yours! I feel so out of touch with all the Episcopal stuff since I joined first Baptist Church of Charlotte last year, but I will never forget my memories from The Summit. I hope to meet you again sometime.

Sam-

Hey! I haven't seen you in forever and a day. I'm glad things are going so well for you. I love your music, of course I always have! I miss seeing you at Holy Trinity and singing at Glory Ridge. Too bad I had to grow up! :) Time flies.

I graduated from Wingate University May 2004 and have been living and working in Greensboro ever since. I'm the Activities Assistant at Friends Homes West. When I don't sleep in, I go to HT on Sunday mornings! Take care and keep making us all smile...

Love-

Hey Sam, I just wanted to thank you for playing the musak this weekend at Sr. High Rally in Robert. It was awesome, and totally in-tune with the spiritual mood of the weekend. I can't wait to get your CD, and I really like your web design. Take care and pursue your dreams! God's Peace

Collette

Hey Sam it's Collette from Senior High Rally. I was at Winterlight this year and saw you there too. I love your music and maybe we can figure out a way for me to get a burned cd. Thank you for being such a huge contribution this weekend.

Dear Mr. Hensley
could you would you PLEASE put the farmer song on the internet so my grandfather can hear it. He is a retired doctor, and has farmed his whole life. He lives on a cotton plantation, the land and house was once owned by governer of alabama, Governer Bibs during the Civil War and was built by slaves. It is so cool and he loves every minute of farm life. He is a wonderful, gracious man, and your song reminds me of his life very much. He recently suffered a heart problem but is recovering, howerever, he cant ride his horses for four weeks. That is why, I would be very grateful if you would please put the Farmer song on your website so that he can hear it. Thank you for your time.

Big Joe from Zebulon

January 20, 2006

We're preparing to do a fundraiser for ZUMC's 6th or 7th Glory Ridge trip and I decided to hunt you up on the Internet. I am glad that you are continuing to pursue your dream. The website helped me catch up with you. You've gotten married and moved to VA. Alexandria is a great city and I have some family that live there. My uncle is a pharmacist at Alexandria Hospital. I hope you won't ever need his services:)

We are going to get one of our youth who is good with a guitar to play "Ten Times Stronger" at our Glory Ridge fundraiser in May. I hope that you continue to be blessed.

On a side note -
Duncan: You there, Scout! We must rest soon, the women are tired.
Magua: No, two leagues, better water. We stop there.
Duncan: No, we'll stop in the glade just ahead. When the ladies are rested, we will proceed. Do you understand?
Magua: [speaking Huron] Magua understands that the white man is a dog to his women. When they are tired, he puts down his tomahawk to feed their laziness.
Duncan: Excuse me, what did you say?
Magua: Magua said... he understands English very well

My name is also Sam Hensley. A friend told me about your web page and he thought at first it was mine. I'm old pastor with no hair and a short gray beard - no match found here. I live in Mariposa (approx. 11 miles from Yosimite) and am presently building a youth camp for children. Perhaps one day the Sam Hensley the preacher can meet Sam Hensley the singer.

I know you don't remember me, but I met you last year at a church retreat to Camp Gravatt in Aiken, South Carolina. You were DEFINATELY the best singer that we have had EVER at any retreat, and I wanted to thank you again for such a great time.

Liz Anderson

October 13, 2005

Sam! You have a website! Awesome!

You won't remember me by name, I'm sure, but I'd bet you'd recognize my face from many a Brown Summit conference back in the day. Last I saw you was Feb. 2001 at a mini-concert at NCSU's ECM.

I recently burned my copy of Beg the Sky (along with my Fran CDs) to iTunes, and I found myself wondering if you were still playing, so I did a web search, and voila! Here you are! It's encouraging for me--my art career has been hit and miss since I graduated school. Maybe someday I'll be a "superstar" too. :)

Congrats on your successes!
I'll send a photo & I'm ordering Run Like Water!!

Hello Mr. Hensley,

My name is Melanie Wilson and I am the office administrator at Christ Lutheran Church in Oakwood, GA. Tammy Dill is our preschool director here at the church and she just shared with me the song that you wrote for her son, Maddux Scott Dill, through the Songs of Love foundation. We are all very touched by the lyrics that you wrote for Maddux and we very much enjoyed your sound. I just wanted to sign your questbook and thank you for what you are doing for these kids. Through your music, you are reaching out and touching these kids in a really awesome way! May God bless you in your ministry and in your career.

Sam, I was on staff at Louisiana's Jr. High Rally this past weekend and I wanted to tell you you did an incredible job the whole weekend. And I noticed that someone else said you covered Eye of the Hurricane by David Wilcox--I wish I had known that because that's one of my favorite songs! Hope to see you play again some time!

Sarah

March 20, 2005

Sam! You make me sad. You are going to play at Glory Ridge during Holy Trinity's week but not during St. Andrews week. First we lost Chris Courtright to them and now you too.
